Patches and Presets
Device (AMPED 3) Patches
These are the patches that are currently loaded on your amplifier, selectable via the
CabRig switch. Press the save button and "Save Patch to Device" to save your
current CabRig settings to one of your "Device Patches".
Blackstar Patches
The "Blackstar Presets" are a collection of patches created by the team at
Blackstar. These presets are included when you install Blackstar Architect. The
Blackstar Presets are a great place to start if you are new to CabRig. Find a preset
that suits your tone and adjust the CabRig settings from there.
Local Patches
"Local Patches" are saved on your computer (Documents – Blackstar – Saved
Patches), instead of loaded onto your amp.
To save a local patch, click the save button and "Save Local Patch". You can save
as many "Local Patches" as you like and these can be recalled at any point by
double clicking on the patch in the patches panel or right clicking on the patch and
selecting "Load Patch".
TIP: To organise your "Local Patches" in the patch panel go to "Documents –
Blackstar – Saved Patches" and create your own folders. Simply drag your patches
into the folders you have created and your folders will appear in the patch panel.
