HT STAGE 100 HT STAGE 60 - Blackstar Amplification

EnglishMiddle control is increased (clockwise) the amount of ‘body’ is increased, which ismore suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.20. TrebleThe Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within thesound. At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be warm and darker incharacter. As the Treble control is increased (clockwise) the sound will becomebrighter. At the maximum settings the sound will be aggressive and cutting.21. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)The patented ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass,Middle and Treble controls. It allows you to choose the exacttonal signature you prefer. Fully counter clockwise has a USAmore American characteristic with a tight bottom-end andmore aggressive middle, and fully clockwise has a Britishcharacteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive.Unlike conventional ‘contour’ controls and parametric equalisation systems, theBass, Middle and Treble controls remain interactive with each other just like in atraditional guitar amplifier tone stack. This leads to a very familiar, musical response.UK28. PowerThis switch is used to turn the amplifier on and off. You should always turn thisswitch on before turning on the Standby switch (27).Rear Panel1. Mains FuseThe value of the Mains Fuse is specified on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of theincorrect value or attempt to bypass it.2. Mains InputThe supplied detachable mains lead is connected here. The lead should only beconnected to a power outlet that is compatible with the voltage, power and frequencyrequirements stated on the rear panel. If in doubt get advice from a qualified technician.3. H.T. FuseThe value of the H.T. Fuse is specified on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of theincorrect value or attempt to bypass it.EnglishMaster22. ReverbThe Reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb effect. With the control fullycounter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increasethe amount of reverb.4. Speaker OutputsThe output marked ‘1x16 Ohm’ is for the connection of a single 16 Ohm extensionspeaker cabinet.The outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ are for the connection of either asingle 8 Ohm extension cabinet or two 16 Ohm cabinets.23. ResonanceThe Resonance control sets the overall bass response of the amplifier. At lowersettings the cleans will be tight and funky and overdrives will be focussed in theirbass response. At increased settings the clean sounds will become full and warm,whilst the crunch and overdrive tones will be more bass heavy and resonant.24. PresenceThe Presence control sets the overall treble response of the amplifier. Percussivehigh-end can be accentuated on clean sounds and the amount of aggressive treblecontrolled with crunch and overdrive settings.25. VolumeThis controls the overall volume of your amplifier. Turning it clockwise increases thevolume.The outputs marked ‘1x4 Ohm or 2x8 Ohm’ are for the connection of either a single4 Ohm extension cabinet or two 8 Ohm cabinets. Also, the internal loudspeaker ofthe HT Stage 60 combo can be plugged in here if it is used with an 8 Ohm extensioncabinet.See table below.‘1x16 Ohm’ ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 ‘1x4 Ohm or 2x8output Ohm’ outputs Ohm’ outputsInternal 2x16 Ohm combo speakers X ✓ X X XOne 16 Ohm extension cabinet ✓ X X X XTwo 16 Ohm extension cabinets X ✓ ✓ X XInternal 2x16 Ohm combo speakers X X X ✓ ✓plus one 8 Ohm extension cabOne 8 Ohm extension cabinet X ✓ X X XTwo 8 Ohm extension cabinets X X X ✓ ✓Single 4 Ohm extension cabinet X X X ✓ X26. Power Indicator LightThe power indicator will light when the amplifier is switched on.27. StandbyThis switch enables the output stage. Always turn this switch on at least 30 secondsafter the Power switch (28). During short breaks in playing use just this switch toturn ‘off’ and ‘on’ the amplifier’s output.WARNING: The output marked ‘1x16 Ohm’ should never be used at the sametime as any of the outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ or ‘1x4 Ohm or 2x8Ohm’ outputs. The outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ or ‘1x4 Ohm or 2x8Ohm’ outputs should never be used at the same time. Failure to correctly match theimpedance of the amplifier and speakers will damage the amplifier.1011
