General

The Blackstar ID:CORE 100 takes all of the features from the ID:CORE series and puts a bit more power behind them. For even greater possibilities, it's got a looper and an octaver on board too. This 100-watt guitar amp is loud enough for live performances with two 10-inch speakers that deliver super wide stereo sound. For a powerful amp that is equipped with two speakers, it is relatively light. That makes it an excellent choice if you often carry your own gear to rehearsals or performances. While it may be relatively light in weight, it is nothing of the sort when it comes to features.

ID:CORE 100: a broad palette of sounds

The Blackstar ID:CORE 100 has 3 fully-programmable channels with six voices consisting of clean warm, clean bright, crunch, super crunch, OD1 and OD2. There are controls for gain and volume, as well as a 3-band EQ for adjusting the bass, middle and treble. The controls also include Blackstar's patented ISF knob that lets you change the character of the amp's sound from British to American and everything in between. There's also a comprehensive effects section with modulation, delay and reverb effects with four variations per type. The ID:CORE 100 also has an octaver effect on board that lets you adjust the sound by an octave up or down.

Never-ending fun with the built-in looper

The ID:CORE series was already versatile, but now it's even more so. The Blackstar ID:CORE 100 and its bigger brother the 150 have a looper function built in. The looper allows you to record a section of up to 30 seconds in length and is easy to operate with the included foot switch to let your creativity run wild. For even more hands free control, Blackstar offers an optional foot switch with five buttons.

Practical extra functions and software

The ID:CORE 100 has a USB connector so that you can easily connect it to your computer for recording purposes. It's also possible to upload, edit and store sounds on your computer using the free downloadable software. You'll also find an MP3/line input so that you can connect an external sound source, a headphone socket with speaker emulation for practising silently or recording, and a stereo effects loop so that you can connect your favourite pedals. If you're looking for a versatile modelling amplifier equipped for the stage, then Blackstar's ID:CORE 100 is the one for you.

Previously owned an ID:CORE 40, and the change to 100 is massive, speakers are crystal clear, a good price for a really good amp, really versatile if using different pedals with it, even the build-in looper is pretty good! Haven't digged too much into the USB features but having that included is nice to have. Blackstar amplification is a really underrated brand.

Nooit meer wat anders.

Ik heb jaren gedroomd van een blackstar. Door een krap budget heb ik er nooit 1 kunnen bemachtigen. Tot vandaag...

Licht in gewicht, niet te groot en niet te klein. Geen geruis. Perfect voor in een flat. Ik woon 10 hoog en je kan het geluid heel zacht zetten zonder dat de kwaliteit van het geluid achteruit gaan. Effecten zijn super cool! Mijn gitaar spel lijkt professioneel met de effecten.

Ik heb echt zenuwen gehad vandaag voordat hij kwam. Het was echt de moeite waard allemaal. Mijn droom is uitgekomen.

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.
