Effects
Up to three studio quality effects can be switched on at any time.
From firmware v1.5.0, all ID:Series amplifiers feature Super Wide Stereo affects via
the Emulated Output and Stereo USB audio output. This Blackstar enhanced stereo
feature can be controlled via the free Blackstar INSIDER software.
NOTE: ID:260TVP produces a stereo sound from its two loudspeakers, and so will
produce a Super Wide Stereo live sound, when this feature is enabled.
11. MOD (Modulation)
Press this switch to turn the modulation effect on, off, or focus the effect for editing.
This setting is saved when you store a patch.
12. DLY (Delay)
Press this switch to turn the delay effect on, off, or focus the effect for editing. This
setting is saved when you store a patch.
13. REV (Reverb)
Press this switch to turn the reverb effect on, off, or focus the effect for editing. This
setting is saved when you store a patch.
With all three of the effect switches the LED will show what state it is in:
LED
Effect State
LED not on
Effect off
LED red
Effect on but not 'focused' for editing
LED green
Effect on and 'focused' for editing
Repeatedly pressing each effect switch on the front panel has the following effect:
Effect off
Turns the effect on and 'focuses' the effect. Any previously focused effect
reverts to an 'on' state
Effect on but not 'focused'
Focuses the effect. Any previously focused effect reverts to an 'on' state
Effect on and 'focused'
Turns the effect off. If any other effect(s) are on, the previously 'focused'
effect resumes being 'focused'
NOTE: Only one effect may be 'focused' at any time
14. Effect Type
This changes the effect type and edits a parameter of the currently 'focused' effect
(modulation, delay, or reverb).
Each segment represents a different effect (four for each type of effect). An
LED shows which effect type is currently active. The distance travelled through
the 'segment' modifies an effect parameter. The Effects Table below shows the

15. Effect Level
This modifies an effect parameter. For modulation and delay effects, turning the Level
control while holding down the Tap switch (16) modifies the rate/time of the effect.
The Effects Table below shows the modifiable parameters:

16. Tap
The Tap switch is used to set the rate/time of the current 'focused' effect. The time
between each press of the tap switch defines the rate set.
Once set, the Tap LED will flash in time with the set rate of the currently 'focused'
effect.
