Blackstar Amplification Blackstar FS-10 4-button Footswitch

Offering a massive leap in live performance control for the owner of any Blackstar ID Series or Silverline Series amp, the FS-10 Footcontroller is a 4-button multi-function pedal that enables quick and direct selection and access to the entire range of patches and also the guitar tuner function.

The Blackstar FS10 pedal has 3 modes:

Patch Mode This is intended to be the primary mode of the foot controller for live performance use. Allowing the user to alternate between all 3 banks of the 4 programmable patches on the front control panel of the amplifier (1-12). Direct access to the digital guitar tuner is possible simply by holding down pedal 4 for a second or so. It is also possible to change onto either of the two other main modes of operation from here.

Effects Mode This mode is ideal for jamming or for working out what is required to be programmed in a rehearsal situation as it changes the layout of the pedals into the equivalent of 3 separate effects units (Reverb, delay and modulation) and the 4th pedal becomes the delay tap time button. Therefore effects can be switched in and out as desired until a satisfactory tone is found and then this can be saved as a patch for live performance.

Navigation Mode This mode allows full access to the entire range of 128 sound patches stored on the amp direct from the pedal. Access is possible in banks or simply by stepping through the combinations one at a time. Storing patches can also be done in this mode.
