Blackstar HT STAGE 100 MKII. Bought this amp for my bandmate to use after his older model bit the dust. This amp and others in the Blackstar line have an Eq circuit called Infinite Shape Feature. It shifts frequencies around in an odd way which I just for the life of me can't figure out how to mimic with the AFXIII. The low's seem lower mids scooped in an odd way and high's seem to go higher than the AFX can reach. I'm sure it could be done if someone with the knowledge of electronics could understand what the patent is talking about. All the tools we have in the AXF seems it wouldn't be that hard of a task. I can find amp's that are close to the basic gain feel of this amp but the whole EQ thing has driven me crazy for the past two years. I don't care about being able to sweep the setting just what they call the USA tone. I find Amp block Splawn Nitrous 1 is pretty close running no cab block and using Matrix GT100FX into a real cab, power amp modeling still on.
Here is the patent if anyone can help.
