Blackstar FLY 3 Cream Mini Combo Guitar Amplifier
Product no: 9000-0020-3229 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Following the success of their ID:Series guitar amps, Blackstar figured it was time to serve up a more compact and stripped-down version that can run on batteries as well as a standard power supply. The result is the Blackstar FLY 3: a 3-Watt mini combo equipped with a 3" speaker that's perfect for use at home and on the road. For this Limited Edition, Blackstar traded in the original black jacket of the FLY 3 for a more chic, cream-coloured housing.

The Blackstar FLY 3 Cream: Versatile and Intuitive

Fitted with just five controls, the Blackstar FLY 3 is incredibly easy to use. The Gain knob allows you to adjust the amount of overdrive for both channels (clean and overdrive), offering sounds that range from subtle edginess to full out shredding, while the Tone pot comes with Blackstar's patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) so you can change the timbre of your tone from American to British as needed. On top of that, the FLY 3 features a built-in digital delay which can be adjusted in both speed and level, finishing a versatile little combo that's not to be underestimated in terms of potential.

If you want to jam along to your favourite tunes or backing tracks, it's worth knowing that the Blackstar FLY 3 not only has an MP3/line input but a headphone output with speaker emulation that doubles as a line output for recordings. Round the back, you'll find the battery compartment, the input for an optional 6.5V power supply, and an RJ45 port that allows you to create a 6-Watt stereo set-up using Blackstar's FLY 103 Extension Cab (not included).

Autumnal Offerings from Fender

Wednesday 28 October 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Whether you've already started thinking about your Christmas shopping list or not, Fender has one or two items you might want to add to it. Guitarists can choose from a Special Edition Standard Stratocaster Black MN, aChampion 100 Snow White amplifier combo, or even a Rustler six-string Banjo! Please note that the guitar and the amplifier are strictly limited editions, so if you want one, you'll have to act quickly.

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

The VOX VTX Series - Evolution Accelerated

Wednesday 4 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

It's already been more than 10 years since VOX turned the amplifier world on its head with the Valvetronix series. This series of amps combined digital modelling technology with convincing tube sounds. Since then, models have slowly but steadily improved along with digital technology. Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.

This amp, preceded by the Nomad, Mini Rectifier Twenty-Five and the Caliber, has been released onto Mesa's mini platform in a combo as well as a head version.

Wednesday 20 January 2016 By Lizanne

Renowned instrument colossus Roland first introduced their Blues Cube amplifiers back in the 1990's. The idea was simply to program a transistor amp to sound like a tube amp. Now, more than twenty years down the line, they've perfected that idea. The result is the brand-new Blues Cube Hot: a portable 3-watt combo in Black and Vintage Blond.
