4. Press record to test your levels are loud and clear. Use the channel 'Gain' controls
on your amplifier to set the level sent to your phone.
5. Test and adjust your channel controls and effects for optimum sound on your
Blackstar amplifier.
6. Record High quality videos, Audio memos and Livestream (direct to Instagram
Live, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and more) straight from your amplifier.
17. CAB RIG/ Headphone Out
CAB RIG LITE is a next-generation advanced speaker simulator that reproduces the
sound and feel of guitar speaker cabs in incredible detail.
This output also emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet and
provides a natural tone for connection to headphones, a recording device, PA
system or mixing desk.
To make full use of the Super Wide Stereo effects, use a 'Stereo 3.5mm jack to two
Mono Jacks' splitter lead to feed two channels of the recording device or mixer.
Always use a good quality screened lead.
Turning the Volume knob will control the Emulated Output level.
NOTE: The Amplifier speakers will mute when a cable is connected to the CAB
RIG/ Output jack.
18. 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 each time the physical knob 'passes through' the
currently active value that you are hearing.
Recall is active for Gain, Volume and ISF.
When the Tuner is active the Recall Indicator will flash continuously.

Rear Panel

1. DC Input
The supplied detachable DC power supply is connected here. Always ensure the
Power Switch (12) is in the OFF position before connecting the power supply. The
lead should only be connected to a power outlet that is compatible with the voltage,
power and frequency requirements stated on the power supply. If in doubt seek
advice from a qualified technician.
Optionally, your ID:CORE can also be powered by Blackstar's PB-1 PowerBank
(not supplied). The PB-1 provides portable power for between 4-8 hours with your
ID:CORE, depending on usage.

Storing Patches

Your ID:CORE amplifier stores 6 patches (1 patch per Voice setting).
To store the current sound as a patch press and hold the Manual switch for two
seconds. The currently selected Voice LED will flash to indicate the patch has been
stored.
Storing a patch will overwrite any previous patch in that location.
Patches can also be stored via Blackstar's ARCHITECT software.
NOTE: Each patch on your ID:CORE must use the Voice setting assigned to that
patch i.e. the Clean Warm patch uses the Clean Warm voice.

Recalling Patches

When in Patch Mode turn the Voice control to choose the desired Voice patch.
Patches can also be recalled via the Blackstar ARCHITECT software or a connected
footcontroller (ID:CORE STEREO 20, 40 only).
NOTE:To recall a patch, the Manual LED must be off to indicate Patch Mode.
Turning the Voice control while the Manual LED is on (in Manual Mode) will only
select the indicated voice.
USB Audio
Standard audio drivers are used to connect the amplifier to a PC or Mac. No specific
drivers are required. For a guide on low-latency USB recording visit:
www.blackstaramps.com/usbrecording
NOTE: Always connect the amplifier via a main USB port, often found on the rear
of the computer.
The amplifier will appear as an audio capture device within recording software.
The USB audio signal output level from your ID:CORE amplifier can be controlled
independently of your amplifier's speaker volume by holding down the Tap switch
(11) whilst turning the Gain control (3) on the front panel (see the Advanced Features
section on page 16). This will allow you to achieve a strong recording signal level
whilst monitoring the output at a lower, more comfortable level, or even silently if you
prefer; simply turn the amplifier speaker volume to zero using the Volume control
on the front panel.
The audio output via USB from your amplifier directly to your computer is carried
across four independent, simultaneous channels:
Channel 1: Stereo emulated, left channel – The fully processed guitar sound, with
speaker cabinet emulation. Contains the left channel of the Super Wide Stereo
effects.
Channel 2: Stereo emulated, right channel - The fully processed guitar sound, with
speaker cabinet emulation. Contains the right channel of the Super Wide Stereo
effects.
