Nice accompaniment for the ID260 abeit a bit pricey
Anonymous 04.10.2016
To save on the total laziness of having to lean towards my Blackstar ID260 (which I have to add is a truly stunning sounding amp for the money) and reach out to press the buttons on the front panel, I decided to buy the Blackstar foot controller.

It is very well built and feels like it will take a beating. I like the different modes of operation, 12 bank of saved settings which can be accessed from the front panel, the effect selection or the large saved banks (accessed by the Blackstar software) to cover the full bank of 128 patches.

It does it's job, it does it very well, it sits nicely in front of my pedal board buy I get tired of Blackstar having everything as an extra. It would have been nice to raise the amp price a few euro and include the pedal controller as a package option. They do the same with the propitiatory power supply for the FLY3 amp where that is also separate, I just find it petty and annoying, especially when it is for these superb amps.

The cable length (using a standard jack plug) is sufficient for normal use i.e. walking up to the amp, but I have not tried a jack cable extender to see if it can be controlled from a greater distance without experiencing signal loss to and from the amp.

All in all, if you have one of these amps, it is a really useful accompaniment to have to quickly control the patches of the amp, without looking a complete nerd taking your laptop everywhere with you to change the patches (if people actually do that?), since you can only control the first 12 from the front panel.

Bit pricey, but no other options to plugging in your laptop or twiddling the knobs each song, so if you want the functionality your 'hands are tied' (which is why it is good it is a foot controller I suppose).

S
two times in repair
Sami4197 15.03.2015
mandatory to have this footswitch on live show but I am not happy on the functionality&quality.

for the second time my pedal is sent to repair.

the pedal malfuntioned in away that it was not reacting in away described in the manual. also it switched modes on its own with all lights blinking.
According to Blackstar forum this is a "known problem."
after first repair my pedal worked for few months. after that same problems re-appeared.
even after the first repair there was a slight latency when switchin presets.
this is problem in live music.
this latency problem may be "normal" to this pedal. not happy with it.

the repairs have gone well trough thomanm but even after I receive the pedal from next repair i will not feel confident playing in a live show with the pedal.

i love the amp i bought but the pedal is not meeting the standard at all.

What is expected of this super brand!

I have not experienced any problems, it works perfectly. It is true that it works when the button is released, but it is not a critical problem! It is possible that stability problems can be caused by a poor quality cable, since it carries digital signals, not audio, you must follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Lacks functionality
Omar260 27.07.2017
I bought it for my ID260 hoping that it gives me a full control over the amp. In spite of its built quality, it lacks many features, like choosing effects and sounds. It's only useful to switch between presets. So you have to program different presets beforehand in order to have full control. A small version of this footcontrol with two buttons is enough to do the job.
