ID Core 20 fuse value

Does anyone know the correct value for the internal input fuse of a Blackstar ID Core 20? I know that you aren't supposed to open those amps, supposed to send it to an qualified tech but with 20+ years as an electronic repair tech, I should fall into that category - I just don't have specific traini...

Factory reset

Hi I have an ID 260 Does a Factory Reset reload the Firmware or just restore all of the factory presets? As I was installing the latest rev of Insider, I noticed that my amp was cycling thru various sections. I realize that I shouldn't have done this but I switched the amp off and back on in the mid...

Speaker change

Has anyone replaced the stock Celstion speaker in the ID Series amp with an Eminence or Jensen? I have an ID30 that I'm thinking about something like an Eminence Swamp Thang, Red White & Blue or a Texas Heat. Just curious if anyone has tried this. If I like the sound, thinking of doing the same with...

Repair parts

I've been using an ID Core 20 for over a year and have been so impressed that i couldn't pass up the deal of the 260. Unfortunately, the previous owner didn't have the or...

Re: Another issue with Insider failing to start

Firstly check how you connect the amp to the pc. Amp should be "on" and Insider should NOT be running on PC. Connect amp to pc with usb lead. PC should now recognise the amp and load Insider. If this isn't happening, it sounds like a software/driver problem with the PC. Try uninstalling and reinsta...

Re: Another issue with Insider failing to start

4.5.2 is the latest: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42643 I know you said you installed Silverlight, but did you install it specifically in Internet Explorer? I use Chrome as my primary browser, and apparently the plugin has to be installed specific to each browser. I beli...

Re: Another issue with Insider failing to start

Windows update shows that my PC is up to date - no updates are reqd.

What is the latest rev of NET Framework for 8.1? Microsoft's website has so many outdated pages, I don't know what to trust as 'the latest".
