Array Of Versatile Controls

The Blackstar Series One 200W Head features dual ISF control and two 3-band EQ sections that control the different channels. There are ISF and EQ controls for the Clean and Crunch Channels together, as well as both Overdrive 1 and Overdrive 2. There is also a Master section within the control panel, which consists of a Resonance knob that controls the overall bass response of the head; and moves from a tight, focused response to full-bodied and resonant. The Presence control adjusts the overall treble response, and the Master Volume controls the overall projection that the amp offers.

Dual ISF Control

No Blackstar amp would be complete without the patented ISF control. This easy-to-use function enables players to achieve the choice of two iconic tones at the turn of a dial. When turned counter clockwise, the amp delivers a classic American characteristic, with a tight bottom end. When turned clockwise, the amp delivers a classic British tone with a woody texture. ISF is perfect for players who like a variety of tones and styles, and ideal for cover bands who might feature both tones.
