This amp is decent, but the fact that you didn't provide a usb cable is dissappointing and feels like you're just being cheap. Many people might disagree, however just consider the fact that if the amp has a usb socket - it should include the cable as well.
The Amp is excellent, and really great value. The software integration is a bonus, I don't think they should have included a usb. I mean who's really being cheap here?
The shop I bought my 20w v3 a month ago stated that "we don't handle incompatibility issues" so there's the warranty.... I've contacted Blackstar, waiting for a miracle. These are garbage tbh.
i suppose that v2's have a firmware update to work with architect. and v1's are only compatible with insider. my friend has an id core 10 v2 and he uses architect

@Blackstar I have owned ID:Core V2 Stereo 20 for 5 years. I recently built a new pc with new case and discovered that the connection to the computer does not work through usb 3.0. With USB 2.0 everything worked fine. Could the problem really be in the version of USB ?
I read somewhere that USB 2 extender is working okay. And I am myself facing the same issue in USB ports where 'SS' is marked meaning they are usb 3 ports in ID CORE V3.
I have a blackstar id150h. Ive noticed architect on windows does not have the noise suppressor pedal nor the resonance/presence knobs nor does it have cab rig interfaced. Is this normal for the windows version of architect?
How do you record the sound on your phone ? Did you place the phone near the amplifier when recording ? Or you do have a connector from the laptop to your phone ?

I'm sure you can get something that closely resembles the tone you are looking for! by using the amp alongside Architect, this shall allow you to create your own patches that can be stored to the amp and edited to capture the sound in your head.
The minimum requirements for Mac are incorrect, and you don't provide a back catalog of previous versions. Tied with the fact that you don't seem to respond to support requests makes me regret buying this amp
My original version ID Core Stereo 40 and be connected to the software app as well. my amp will also get a pair of switched 1/4" speaker cab output jacks it lacks, wired into the internal speaker wires to de-activate the internal speakers when externals are plugged in. I will also custom build impedance matched (4 Ohms each) vertical cabs with any from 4X8" to 4X12" speakers that when stood side by side will be in effect a "Full Stack" with the amp laid on top face down with controls forward (internal speakers inactive). or connected to the surround sound receiver's CD input from the 1/8" stereo headphone out jack through a stereo 1/8" to 2 RCA adaptor cable. giving me a deeper and fuller tone with even more volume available through all the surround sound speakers including the subwoofer. with the input level properly adjusted I get a whole lot of sound that way. Yep I love my music loud. and guitars especially. 40 watts should be able to power the custom cabs I'm building for this purpose. and the cabe will be cheaper to build that buying used, let alone new. and I can make them look how i want from the start. the guitar I built/Modded from a cheap Chinese made "Starcaster" "Strat" electric guitar By: Fender (said that on the head stock) that I bought to extremely Mod to what I wanted. now finished, the guitar sports a custom spray can and airbrushed detailed stars and planets space theme paint job on the body and head stock and renamed the "Stellarcaster" in keeping with the fender naming progression and the paint theme as well as the hand made brushed stainless steel pick guard loaded with 3 quad rail( and quad coil) humbuckers wired like a 50's Les Paul with 3 500K audio taper 500K ohm P/P volume pots the 500k audio taper tone pots, the bridge pot also a P/P to activate the bridge and neck P/Ups together regardless of the 5-way sw. pos. . the pick guard an paint scheme reflect the new name. that I pocked just for it. this os just my very first guitar project and the first of many more to come. I intent to literally hand build my guitar collection by myself many versions of various guitars. in unique colors and with various pick up combinations as I want them. and a few unique shapes that as far as I know havent been done yet. and some different than traditional body materials as well. and as with the first Tele that was all pine body and neck before the maple necks with or without a "Skunk Stripe. maple or other wood for finger boards. maybe laminant finger boards and maybe bodies and necks of different materials as experiments. who says that it has to be wood. that's just what they had available back then and could get as cheaply as they could at the time. as with any and all the parts and electronic components available at that time. now we have many newer materials to choose from to build a guitar with. why now try something new. Like the carbon fiber guitars available from some guitar makers today both acoustic and electric guitars. and anything from totally solid state and digital amps to new tube (valve) and hybrid amps available today as well. this is the golden age of guitars and amps available to every body, with in reason. some cost way more than they really should in my opinion. depending on your needs there is an amp and/or guitar for you.

I agree, they should have provided. They should also offer the foot paddle,
I got like 10 usb laying around . They are cheap
I bought 3 different usb cables and they aren’t working. They might be not including audio transfer because usb mini is too old
What usb do i need to connect to my pc?
The Amp is excellent, and really great value. The software integration is a bonus, I don't think they should have included a usb. I mean who's really being cheap here?
Will this ever be available on Linux?
i doubt it
Ive tried many times but Architect fails to open every single time. My mac is 10.13.6,so it should be compatible. Its very frustrating indeed
Why i cant download software on the site download button is not working
Anyone thinking of buying this amp for practice, just do it. It’s just fantastic.
This. Best choice I could have made.
Purchased a second hand one today. Best amp ive ever used. Downloaded a Dimebag patch, its scary how good it is.
@@CrystalLynxwhere can i find it
Don't tell me what to do, you're not my mom
how in the year 2023, are we still using USB-B ports for anything.

Any recommend for that?

Hi Stevie, Jagdish is correct! All versions of the ID Core are compatible with Architect
@Blackstar is this replacing the insider application or are they serving different purposes?

No. Your latest firmware just went ahead and either bricked the amps or prevents connection afterwards. Just no, avoid.
