The tube change might need some components changed to achieve the proper output tube bias, but such technical details aren't released by Blackstar. The case designs are so close, I would be surprised if you couldn't swap out the amp chassis's between the two to get the color you want with the amp yo...

When I went looking for possible speaker upgrades for my ID Core 150, I found someone's post online that showed these speakers were in their Core ID 100 http://www.kicschunil.com/product_detail.asp?id=310 50W 8ohm speakers.

This weekend I replaced the G10Ns with a pair of used Celestion G10 Vintage 8ohm drivers which seem to work well in the Core high power 150.

Someone asked a while back what speakers they could use in an ID Core High Power, so here's my experience. I had previously used a core ID:20 when I found a good price on the Core High Power stereo amp, but I was always a little disappointed in the sound of using either of the core stereo amps as "a...

It should be the same as connecting a tablet or smartphone to the PA.
something like Hosa HMP-010Y REAN 3.5mm TRS to Dual 1/4" TS Pro Stereo Breakout Cable

Folks have occasionally reported their flakey USB problems going away with a cable swap.
I would try another cable. If you're running the latest insider software from http://blackstarinsider.co.uk/ it should tell you if it wants to do a firmware update, when it detects the amp.

I thought the same when I had purchased the ID core 20, as a brand new amp a couple years ago. It was so new and had so few users that there weren't any presets online for it specifically, just old TVP models. I haven't looked recently to see what is available now. I moved on because I wanted a more...

I'd try another cable as well, but that sounds like a defective amp to me.

While its not a an acoustical guitar amp, I'd expect some signal to make it through to the Core20 amp. I don't know that particular guitar, so I googled it. It looks like it has a fishman acoustical guitar bridge piezo pickup and preamp/tuner built in. I have a guitar with one of those. If there's n...

I haven't tried Windows 10 with my ID:Core 20 yet, but the usual advice for Windows missing USB drivers issue is to try plugging into different USB ports and restarting the computer. Beyond that there's fiddling with allowing unsigned drivers.
