Blackstar FS-11 2-Button Footswitch for ID:Core Stereo 20 and 40
The FS-11 is the two button footcontroller that opens up the full functionality of a Blackstar ID:Core Stereo 20 or ID:Core Stereo 40. Without it, every change means bending down to the amp. With it, the two most common jobs on stage move to your feet.
- Mode 1: the standard functions, switching channels and turning effects on and off.
- Mode 2: scroll up and down through your presets, so the next sound is one tap away.
- Two buttons, two modes: pick the mode that suits the set rather than being locked into one behaviour.
- Rugged all metal design built for gigs and rehearsals rather than a desktop.
- Compatibility: designed for the Blackstar ID:Core Stereo 20 and ID:Core Stereo 40 amplifiers.
A small addition that changes how usable an ID:Core amp is once you are standing up with a guitar on.
Take control of your Blackstar ID:Core Stereo 20 or ID:Core Stereo 40 amplifier with the two button Blackstar FS-11 footcontroller. It is a simple accessory with a specific job: to make gigs and rehearsals run smoothly by putting amp changes under your feet instead of under your hands.
Two modes of operation
The FS-11 offers two modes, and which one you use depends on how you have set the amp up.
- Mode 1: standard channel switching plus effects on and off. This is the mode for players who set one clean sound and one dirty sound and want to move between them, with the effects as a separate lift.
- Mode 2: scroll up and down through your presets. This is the mode for players who store a sound per song and simply want to step to the next one.
Built to be stood on
The FS-11 is housed in a rugged, all metal design. That matters for a unit that lives on the floor, gets stepped on in the dark and travels in a gig bag between rehearsals, and it is the main reason to use a purpose made controller rather than improvising.
What it is for
The ID:Core Stereo 20 and Stereo 40 pack more sounds than their front panels can reach quickly in performance. The FS-11 is how you capture that full functionality live: set the amp up before the show, then leave your hands on the guitar for the rest of the night.
