What's the situation with FS-11 availability in the USA? My daughter ordered one for my Blackstar ID:Core Stereo 20 from Sweetwater as a Christmas 2014 gift to me almost 2 months ago. It still remains on back order pending shipments from Blackstar all this time. Should I mount a deep sea expedition ...

Although my Blackstar ID:Core Stereo 20 sounds great all on its own I found it can take an overdrive pedal quite well using the Clean Warm voicing with around 10:00 gain. Here's a photo of my Yngwie Malmsteen signature DOD YJM308 Preamp Overdrive that I just modded (grey spec, true-bypass, led, stan...

The gain has to be turned up towards halfway on the clean channels to get any output.

Here is a screenshot from my Insider settings screen. I haven't messed with the footswitch settings because I don't have the FS-11 yet. Compare mine with yours. Also look if you have 'Mute Speakers' checked. I'm assuming you actually have a USB cable connecting the amp to your computer. You would pr...

On my amp's physical knobs I have the volume at zero and control it with the software...

It's in the settings panel the little gear symbol in the top right corner. It's under O/D Noise Gate.

That's a good idea! I had just a 1/8" to 1/4" stereo adapter plug on my ID:Core 20 because I have 1/4" studio headphones. But I just added a long 1/8" cable to a 2 ended female stereo mating adapter to the 1/8" to 1/4" stereo adapter to relieve the stress point. I need to find the pig tail type adap...

I'm a Windows user. I'm told Mac has a similar user folder structure. When you download them make sure your save folder is something like:

"Documents\Blackstar\Saved Patches"

If you saved them someplace else just move them there.

been playing with this one 2 nights now and on neither OD channel when I finish playing and the sound reduces, there's some fizzy buzzing then the volume cuts... is that normal? I think that's just the nature of using a noise gate. When it's silent the gate is on. When you hear fizz come back its n...
