EAN: 845644006618

If you re just getting into guitar, and you re looking for a portable amplifier capable of delivering great tones at loud volumes, consider the Blackstar ID:CORE V3 40W Portable Stereo Digital Modeling Combo Amplifier. This modeling amplifier offers six different sounds right from one amp, as well as 12 built-in stereo effects. This amp is more than enough for practicing, rehearsing with a band, or busking live on the street-when used with a separately available PB-1 powerbank.

The amplifier offers a broad array of tones built right into the hardware, but it truly shines when you control its settings with Blackstar s deep editor software, which offers a greater degree of tonal sculpting. A USB connector lets you to edit your tones with this software, and also facilitates the ability to record from your amp directly to your computer. With the built-in footswitch jack, the amp supports remote control over select functions by means of a separately available footswitch.

6 Classic Blackstar Voices

The Voice control has six different channels, and when used together with Blackstar s patented ISF control, you can get the exact tone you want:

• Clean Warm: Classic clean, dynamic
• Clean Bright: Boutique, will break up when pushed hard
• Crunch: Classic medium-gain overdrive
• Super Crunch: More gain and punch than Crunch
• OD 1: Hot-rodded master volume overdrive
• OD 2: Mid-boosted overdrive

Multiple Connections

Apart from the usual instrument connection, the amp has a connection for playing along to media players. Simply plug in your favorite compatible device and you re good to go.

Also, the amp provides a user-configurable Cab Rig output, which updates the emulated speaker output to give you a more realistic sound, allowing user-configurable controls for cabinet and room environments. Indeed, the Cab Rig software that corresponds to this output allows for similar controls to what you d find on a high-end standalone cab-simulator product. Use this output if you want to record your guitar, but don t want to mic the cabinet or record digitally over USB.

Harware Tonal Controls

The ID:Core combo amplifier features two controls that allow you to design your own sound. First, a Voice control lets you switch among six overall voicings. Go between Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, Overdrive 1, and Overdrive 2 voicings, depending on the music you want to play. The amp also offers an ISF control, which is a staple feature on high-end Blackstar amplifiers. By using the Voice control together with ISF, you can easily dial in a variety of sounds, giving you the ability to bring the sounds you hear in your head to life.

Superwide Stereo

Blackstar s unique superwide stereo technology gives you an immersive sound experience that will have you playing along to your MP3 backing tracks for hours.
