Cable didn't work.
Amp has been returned.

Amp has gone back. The TVP level were ridiculous. The drop between the KT88 and the 6L6 and all the other valve models was massive, even with a stereo cable. I wasn't using a DI box as through an amp into the interface should be a line level signal. I have the option of an instrument level signal (e...

Cheers for the input ya'll Afraid to say my ID:60 TVP has been returned and the money traded in for something else. Exhausted all available avenues and still was lamentable. Low low volume on Emulated out (even with stereo cable and I use good quality cables throughout my rig) and most of the TVP op...

At the moment recording. DI'd into my Focusrite Saffire Pro14. Even taking into account the overall quietness of the emulated output, the top two valve emulation choices (the 6L6 and the KT88) are significantly louder that any of the others to the point where there wouldn't be enough volume in the a...

I have issues. Every search I do turns up masses of posts about a huge raft of issues with this series, from patch latency, to volume issues, to inexplicable volume drops between patches, to Insider not working... etc etc etc. Is this just a bad idea made real or a good idea that's been poorly execu...

Me again. On top of the emulated output volume issue which I've already posted about I have a question regarding the relative volumes of the valve options in the TVP section. All of the them with the exception of the 6L6 and KT88 are so quiet as to render them unusable for recording from the emulate...

I'm already using a stereo cable. It's got the mini jack on one end that goes into the emulated out. The other end has two stereo rca connectors. I've tried all sorts of settings and still get a low volume. There is no way Blackstar can claim this "bodge job" is the answer. The amp sounds good. I'l...

So Update: Apparently having a cable half way into the socket is absolutely fine... Solution offered thus far is that the amp is built to record stereo so the emulated out should always be used with a a stereo Y cable. To record mono I should plug the stereo cable into my output and then one of the ...

I have the same problem too with the really low emulated out volume level on my ID15 TVP. Have posted on this forum back in May 2014 but received no help from Blackstar. Other people have the same problem. Interesting idea about pulling the plug half way out for more volume...does this sacrifice th...

Morning all. Don't usually take to the blogs to air my grievances but I'm a bit dumbfounded following an email and wanted to see if a) my expectations were unreasonable and b) anyone else was experiencing the same issue or had been given the same advice. My ID:60 TVP-H is a couple of weeks old and, ...
