Description
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
- 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
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.
