Blackstar FLY 103 Acoustic 3-Watt 1 x 3-inch Extension Cabinet for FLY 3 Acoustic
The FLY 103 Acoustic is the partner cabinet for the FLY 3 Acoustic mini amp. On its own the FLY 3 Acoustic is a 3-watt mono amp. Add this cab and the pair becomes a 6-watt stereo setup, which is a real change in how the little rig sounds rather than just extra volume.
- Makes it stereo: combines with a FLY 3 Acoustic to create a 6-watt stereo setup.
- Built-in cable: the connecting lead is attached, so setup is one plug.
- 1 x 3-inch speaker: produces true Blackstar tones to match the amp it partners.
- Doubles as a speaker pair: connect the FLY 3 and FLY 103 to a phone or computer and the two work as powered stereo speakers.
- 3 watts of its own: the cabinet contributes the second half of the 6-watt total.
- Same footprint: sized and finished to sit alongside the FLY 3 Acoustic.
- Note: this is the extension cabinet for the FLY 3 Acoustic, so a FLY 3 Acoustic amp is needed alongside it.
The FLY 103 Acoustic exists to do one thing well: turn a FLY 3 Acoustic mini guitar amplifier into a 6-watt stereo setup. It is a 3-watt, 1 x 3-inch extension cabinet built to match the amp it partners, and it comes with its own built-in cable so there is nothing to source separately.
What the second cabinet actually changes
A single FLY 3 Acoustic is a mono amp. Adding the FLY 103 gives the rig two speakers and doubles the output to 6 watts, so the sound spreads out instead of coming from one point. For an acoustic instrument that width matters more than it does for a distorted electric tone, because the stereo image is where a lot of the air in an acoustic sound lives.
A set of powered stereo speakers
The pairing is not limited to guitar. Connect the FLY 3 and FLY 103 to an MP3 player or a computer and the two boxes work as a set of powered stereo speakers, which makes the rig useful on a desk between practice sessions.
Setup
The built-in cable makes setup a snap. There is no separate lead to lose and nothing to configure, so the cabinet can travel with the amp and be running again in seconds at the other end. The 1 x 3-inch speaker inside produces true Blackstar tones, matched to the amp so the pair sounds like one rig rather than two boxes.
