New and Improved

 

The Blackstar ID:Core V3 boasts a convenient, sleek design and ergonomic handle for easy transportation. Its improved hardware ensures a lower noise level and a remarkable overall sound, making it a top choice for professional guitar amplification. With compatibility for the FS-18 and FS-11 footswitches and the option for the PB-1 powerbank, this 40 watt amp is perfect for busking and on-the-go performances.

Super Wide Stereo

One of the stand-out features of the ID: Core V3 range is the lush stereo width provided by the dual speaker configuration. Combined with the upgraded “Super Wide” studio-quality effects (simultaneous Mod, Delay and Reverb with four variations of each one), the ID: Core V3 is capable of deep and expansive tones. Using the tap tempo button, you have the ability to sync up the effects to your music. The ID: Core V3 can double as a brilliant speaker for general use (listening to music, connecting to your TV) as it has a Line In and full-range, linear speakers.

From Crisp Funk to Brutal Metal

You have six voices to choose from (Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD 1 and OD 2), giving you an arsenal of huge tones that can then be sculpted with Blackstar’s patented ISF control. This allows you to continuously shift from an American-style EQ response (pronounced treble and bass) to a British-style one (warmer mid-range). Once you’ve dialled-in a sound that you like, you can then store it in up to 12 patch slots to recall later. There’s a Manual mode if you prefer a classic approach to tweaking your amp.

Powerful Software Capability

The ID:Core V3 features USB connectivity, allowing you to take its capabilities to the next level. Once connected, the ID:Core V3 is transformed into a 4-channel USB audio interface with low-latency recording and the ability to re-amp unprocessed signals. When recording via USB, you can take advantage of Blackstar’s advanced Cab Rig Lite software, which accurately reproduces the feel of a real mic’d up cab. You can fine-tune the emulated relationship between the mic and speaker as well as edit the cab, mic and room environment. Live streaming your tone has never been easier, with a specialised TRRS 3.5mm in/out that allows you to stream to and from a compatible device.

The Architect software gives you precise control of the ID:Core V3 and lets you back-up your patches. There’s a thriving community you can share your favourite sounds with, as well as try new ones out.

A Tough Companion

The ID:Core V3 range is housed in a robust gig-and-tour ready package that’ll be able to withstand all the knocks and bumps that come with regular use. If you’re looking for an affordable amp that can cover basically any genre, give you a tonne of powerful software options and sound amazing - the ID:Core V3 range is a top choice.
