Bank; Channels 1-4; Footcontroller; Mp3/Line In - Blackstar SILVERLINE Series Owner's Manual

The MOD, DLY and REV LEDs act as indicators to show how close the played note
is to the tuned note.
MOD LED white
DLY LED orange
REV LED white
All other LEDs on the front panel will be off in Tuner Mode.
Pressing any switch will exit Tuner Mode.

19. Bank

Press this switch to scroll through the first three banks of patches.
Bank 1  2
Bank 2  3
Bank 3  1
The green LED indicates Bank 1 is active, the orange LED indicates Bank 2, and the
red LED indicates Bank 3 is active.
NOTE: The first three banks can be selected from the front panel. When you activate
Bank 4 and higher from an external controller (e.g. Blackstar INSIDER software,
footcontroller), the Bank LED will be off but the channel LEDs will continue to show
you the patch location.
For example:
Patch 11 – Bank LED red, Channel 3 LED on.
Selecting Bank Up from an external controller will switch you to patch 15 – Bank
LED off, Channel 3 LED on.
When the amplifier is in Manual Mode, the Bank LED will be off.
The channel will be remembered, therefore the corresponding patch within the
current bank will be loaded when scrolling through the banks.
20 – 23. Channels 1-4
Channel 1 activates the first patch within the currently active bank.
Channel 2 activates the second patch within the currently active bank.
Channel 3 activates the third patch within the currently active bank.
Channel 4 activates the fourth patch within the currently active bank.
14
Note is sharp (above pitch)
Note is in tune
Note is flat (below pitch)

24. Footcontroller

Connect one of the following supported footswitches here.
1-Button Footswitch
Use any latching footswitch (e.g. a Blackstar FS-4) to switch between Channels 1
and 2 of the currently selected Bank.
Footcontroller latched OFF (e.g. LED extinguished on the FS-4) activates Channel 1
Footcontroller latched ON (e.g. LED illuminated on the FS-4) activates Channel 2
Blackstar FS-10 Footcontroller
This multi-function footcontroller allows you to access all patches, toggle effects,
activate the tuner and program patches.

25. MP3/Line In

Connect the output of your MP3 or audio playback device here. Adjust the player's
volume to match that of your guitar to enable you to play along.
NOTE: The connection is summed into mono.
26. Emulated Output/Headphone Out
This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet and
provides a natural tone for connection to a recording device or mixing desk.
To make full use of the stereo effects, use a stereo jack to two mono jacks splitter
cable to feed two channels of the recording device or mixer. The output will also
function into a mono guitar-type lead. Always use a good quality screened cable.
Turning the Volume knob (4) will control the Emulated Output level. The Master
Volume only affects any connected speaker(s)/cabinet(s).
NOTE: To 'silently' record, set the Master Volume to zero. You may also record
from this output without a loudspeaker connected, but ensure that no loudspeaker
leads are connected to any of the loudspeaker output jack sockets of the amplifier,
as this will defeat the load protection circuit and will cause damage to the amplifier.
27. Recall Indicator
The Recall Indicator shows if there is a mismatch between the current value of a
parameter within the amplifier and the corresponding physical front panel control.
For example, when you change to a different patch the controls on the front panel
may not always reflect the setting you are hearing.
To prevent unexpected level jumps in the control you are adjusting, the front panel
knobs will have no effect on the sound until the knob reaches the current parameter
value. Once reached, the Recall Indicator flashes twice and the knob 'takes control'
of the value and can increase or decrease the value.
The recall indicator will flash twice each time the physical knob 'passes through' the
value stored in the current patch.
Recall is only active for Gain, Volume, Bass, Treble and ISF.
When the Tuner is active the Recall Indicator will flash continuously.
