Official Blackstaramps Forum

Finally got my Blackstar Fly 3 portable battery amp a week ago. I love this little thing. Originally I planned to use this outside on my porch and patio but I'm having so much fun with it on the couch. The tone is great, much better than I had expected for a mini amp with a 3" speaker. It works well...

I play a modded 2004 Fender MIM Midnight Blue Satin Stratocaster and a 2017 quilted maple/birdseye maple SuperStrat that I had specially made for me by DC Custom Guitars. https://fxmqpw.ch.files.1drv.com/y4mHrVf5SAMqoiiSuqezDWCjKM7pcXZi3R6Jz_pMBAR8rUeemLlpidviybpdx7Jd51rZK0gV-hC4PRs8neuG2EbzFNz5vAK6...

Here is my current Blackstar set-up. My HT-1R combo is upgraded with JJ tubes and Celestion Eight 15 speaker. My Pedaltrain Mini is having a vintage reissue DOD Invasion! https://4sk85g.ch.files.1drv.com/y4m_AKuhGc2su4Rds6G7ldNOxjAIkmRYZpDbFSaXzkXWGVhi__RObh4_B72UPkp979pRSKxFeex2byyyKG2xR2hw1j9-cfEG...

I used to have a 2 year old Blackstar ID:Core Stereo 20 modeling amp but sold it on my local Craigslist along with the FS-11 foot controller to get this instead. I was having issues getting Insider software to see the amp on Windows 10 so gave up on it. On Reverb I made an offer on this mint conditi...

This is my new guitar that got delivered January 20, 2017. It was built for me by neoclassic shred guitarist and my friend Dean Cascione of DC Custom Guitars USA. Here is composite photo of the front and back in the case. I absolutely love it. https://soeceg.dm2304.livefilestore.com/y3m6wjf6RrgswTrv...

I have the exact same problem on v1.78 on windows 10. Was wondering if you ever got this working and if so how? I have the latest Insider now 1.8.1 but my firmware is old 1.2.1 and since Insider isn't seeing the amp on startup it didn't patch the firmware to 1.5.3 that comes with the new Insider. :...

This didn't work for me. That is it 'worked' the first time after making the IE security changes and waiting for Insider to prompt for Silverlight which installed and then Insider launched successfully. But when I exited Insider and re-launched it, just sits there again saying reading amp patches, w...

I have a Blackstar ID:Core Stereo 20 connected to my PC via USB. When I launch Insider 1.7.6 it just says Reading Amplifier Patches, Please Wait... If I turn off the amp during this reading patches wait process, Insider then comes up and I can turn on and operate the amp with the software. I can als...

For ID:Core users who do guitar lessons over Skype how do you handle your audio? I have an ID:Core Stereo 20 and take Skype guitar lessons that way once in a while. Do you (1) just play through the amp speakers and let your computer's webcam record your guitar playing and voice (to talk with the ins...

Sweetwater called 2 weeks ago and asked if I wanted to cancel my order or swap it for something else. I said keep the order going so I keep my place in the waiting list. Their page says awaiting Blackstar shipment and he told me they expect them by the end of this week so we'll see I guess.
