With the Blackstar Fly 3 Bluetooth Blackstar presents the next generation of the popular combo amp, which is not only suitable for the official amplification of electric guitar, but also for playing music via smartphone or tablet. As an electric guitar amplifier, the compact 3 watt combo convinces with its surprisingly mature sound, which invites you to practice with its switchable overdrive and delay. The amplifier also features the Blackstar Infinite Shape feature, which adjusts the sound character between British mid-bite and American scoop. Thanks to the Bluetooth interface, the Blackstar Fly 3 Bluetooth easily contacts smartphones, tables or laptops and then functions as an external speaker with unadulterated playback. In addition, the combo amplifier has a headphone jack and a line input in mini jack format.
This is a superb little amp which sounds way better than its size and price suggest. Everything feels solid and the range of tone and drive you can get out of this thing is astonishing. From clean jazzy tones, to crunch, to cranked overdrive, this seems to cope well across the board. I was a little worried that there wasn't any tone control, but that weird UK/US tone control is surprising useful, and with that and the coil tapping on the guitar I've not had any problems getting the kind of tone I was going for. Very impressed.
