Blackstar FLY 3 3-Watt 1 x 3-inch Mini Guitar Combo Amp, White
The FLY 3 is Blackstar's battery-powered mini combo, here in the white finish. Three watts through a single 3-inch speaker sounds like very little on paper, but the two channels, the tape delay and the Infinite Shape Feature are what make it a proper amp rather than a novelty.
- Battery powered: it runs without mains power, so it goes where you go.
- 3 watts, 1 x 3-inch: ridiculously tiny, and still capable of great tones.
- Two channels: for clean and driven sounds.
- Tape delay: onboard, and the effect that gives the FLY 3 its distinctive voice.
- Infinite Shape Feature: Blackstar's patented control lets you change the sound infinitely from one knob.
- Low volume playing: designed to deliver at levels quiet enough for discreet practice.
- White finish: the colour that separates this one from the rest of the FLY 3 range.
The white FLY 3 is a great-sounding, portable, battery-powered guitar combo amplifier that combines two channels, tape delay and the innovative Infinite Shape Feature. The white cabinet is the only thing that separates it from its siblings, so the choice is purely about how you want it to look on the shelf.
Three watts that work at low volume
Although it is ridiculously tiny, the 3-watt FLY 3 is capable of delivering great tones at low volume for discreet practising. That is the harder trick for a small amp. Plenty of them sound acceptable when pushed, but the FLY 3 was voiced to stay musical at the volumes you actually use indoors.
Infinite Shape Feature
You can infinitely change the sound of the FLY 3 thanks to Blackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature. It is a single control that reshapes the tone stack rather than simply adding treble or bass, which is why one knob covers so much ground on an amp this size.
Onboard tape delay
The tape delay effect built into the FLY 3 gives your playing a distinctive sound and is the reason people end up playing it for hours rather than minutes. Nothing else needs to be plugged in for it to be there.
