9. Effects Loop Level
The Effects Loop Level switch sets the effects loop to either +4dBV/-10dBV, which
enables you to use it with either professional equipment (+4dBV setting), or with
guitar level effects such as effects pedals (-10dBV setting).
10. Effects Loop Return
Connect the (mono) output of an external effects unit here.
11. Effects Loop Send
Connect the (mono) input of an external effects unit here.
12. 5-Way Footcontroller Socket
The optional 5-way FS-14 footcontroller (not supplied) is connected here. This
footcontroller enables instant access to all channels and voices, plus the global
boost function and Reverb switching. This should be connected to your amplifier
using the cable provided with the FS-14. Alternatively a good quality shielded guitar
cable may be used.
Pressing the Clean switch on the footcontroller will select the Clean Channel.
Pressing the Clean switch whilst the Clean Channel is already selected will toggle
the Clean Voice. The previously selected voice will be retained when switching to
the Clean Channel.
Pressing the OD1 switch will select the Overdrive Channel, Voice 1. Likewise,
pressing the OD 2 switch will select the Overdrive Channel, Voice 2. Pressing either
OD1 or OD2 switches on the FS-14 whilst that voice is currently selected will have
no further effect.
13. 2-Way Footswitch Socket
The supplied 2-way footswitch is connected here. The FS-15 footswitch enables the
selection of the Clean and Overdrive channels, and the two voices on each Channel.
Pressing the Channel switch on the FS-15 will toggle between the Clean Channel
and Overdrive Channel. Pressing the Voice switch on the FS-15 will toggle between
the two voices of the currently selected channel.
If the supplied FS-15 footswitch is unavailable then a generic 2-way latching
footswitch with TRS jack connection can be used.
EXTERNAL SWITCHING MODE: This mode is intended for people who wish to
control the same main features of the amp using an external switching device that
connects via the TRS connection of the socket.
To switch to External Switching Mode: simply press and hold the Clean Select
and Clean Voice switches for 5 seconds. The green LEDs will then flash together
to indicate the change of mode. The amplifier will retain this mode, even when
switched off, until it is changed back to normal/footswitch mode.

Once in External Switching Mode the following settings will apply when a suitable
TRS connection is made:

NOTE: If both footcontrollers are connected at the same time, any input on the
2-way will be ignored by the amp as the 5-way behaves as the master controller.
14. Emulated Output USB Socket
This B-type USB socket is for connection to a computer via a suitable lead (not
supplied). It is capable of multiple simultaneous inputs and outputs.
Standard audio drivers are used to connect the amplifier to a PC, Mac or other
applicable recording device. No specific drivers are required. For a guide on low-
latency USB recording visit:
www.blackstaramps.com/usbrecording
NOTE: Always connect the amplifier via a main USB port, often found on the rear
of the computer.
The amplifier will appear as an audio capture device within recording software.
The audio output via USB from your amplifier directly to your computer is carried
across four independent, simultaneous channels:
Channel 1: Stereo emulated, left channel – The fully processed guitar sound, with
speaker cabinet emulation. This will include the left channel of the internal stereo
reverb.
Channel 2: Stereo emulated, right channel – The fully processed guitar sound,
with speaker cabinet emulation. This will include the right channel of the internal
stereo reverb.
Channel 3: Preamp output – The preamp sound of the channels, voices and EQ
stages, taken before the reverb and without any speaker cabinet emulation. Ideal
for use with your own effects and cabinet emulation plugins within your recording
software/DAW.
Channel 4: Unprocessed dry guitar signal – This is the direct signal from your
guitar as received by the amp.
These audio streams can be recording simultaneously within your chosen recording
software/DAW.
TIP: To record a stereo 'reverb' effected sound, pan the stereo emulated left
channel 100% left in the mix and pan the right channel 100% right.
