Description
The Blackstar FS-12 is a five-button programmable footcontroller in a slim, low-profile aluminum body, made for the ID:Core Stereo 100 and Stereo 150 amps and the Unity U700H Elite bass head. A dot matrix display shows the current patch and a chromatic tuner, and on an ID:Core 100 or 150 it reaches all 36 patches.
On ID:Core Stereo 100 and 150
Switches A, B and C match the amp's CH 1 to CH 3 buttons and call up the patches in the current bank. Pressing A and B together moves down a bank and B and C together moves up, so all 12 banks of three patches are within reach. D and E run the looper by default, and Blackstar INSIDER software can reassign them to effects on/off, tap tempo, the effects loop, Super Wide Stereo or the noise gate. Holding D and E opens the tuner, with the note and cents shown on the footcontroller.
Seven-Way Switching and Unity Elite
The EXT socket takes the FS-13 two-button footswitch that comes with the ID:Core 100 and 150, adding two more programmable switches whose on/off state appears on the FS-12 display. On a Unity U700H Elite, A scrolls through the three voices, B switches the drive on and off, A and B or B and C change the drive type, C and D switch the chorus and octave effects, and E opens the tuner.
