14. Manual
Press this switch to toggle between Patch and Manual Mode. When the amplifier
is in Manual Mode, the sound will reflect the current physical position of the knobs.
This is applicable to the Voice, Gain, Volume and ISF knobs. Any effects that are
active when switching to Manual Mode will be turned off.
While in Manual Mode any of the controls can still be modified by the Blackstar
INSIDER software but this means that the sound will not represent the positions of
the knobs on the front panel
Patch Mode
Patch mode is indicated by the Manual LED (14) being unlit. See Programmability
section on page 14 for more information.
Tuner Mode
Holding the Tap (11) and Manual (14) switches together for one second will engage
the tuner. The Recall Indicator LED (18) will flash continuously to indicate the
amplifier is in Tuner Mode. The amplifier output will be muted whilst in Tuner Mode.
The Voice LEDs will indicate the closest note to the note being played.

one of the following modes:

Default Mode Toggles between 2 patches,
selectable via INSIDER

In Alternative Mode (selected via INSIDER) patches will cycle on a ʻloopʼ.
e.g switching up from OD2 will move to Clean Warm.
When in Manual Mode, the effect of any footcontroller switch will depend on its last
state. Pressing Switch 1 will return the amplifier to Patch Mode. Pressing Switch 2
will toggle the effects off and on without returning to Patch Mode.
16. MP3/Line In
Connect the output of your MP3 or CD player here. Adjust the player's volume to
match that of your guitar to enable you to play along.
17. Emulated/Headphone Out
This output 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.
