Blackstar FLY 3 Limited Edition 3-Watt 1x3 inch Mini Combo Amp, Baby Blue Union Flag
The FLY 3 is the mini amp that set the standard for the category, and this is the limited edition Baby Blue Union Flag version. Three watts through a single 3 inch speaker, two channels, tape delay and Blackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature, in a box small enough to sit on a desk or drop into a bag. It is advantageously small and it packs a punch with big tone, even at the lowest volumes, which is the part most amps this size get wrong.

- Compact and portable, designed to be taken anywhere
- Big tone at the lowest volumes
- Limited edition Baby Blue Union Flag finish
Blackstar's FLY 3 has been the reference point for mini amps since it arrived, and this limited edition wears a Baby Blue Union Flag finish. It is an innovative 3-watt combo with a single 3 inch speaker, and the design goal was simple: a portable amplifier that still sounds like a real amp.
Two channels and ISF
For a box this size the control set is unusually complete. Two channels cover clean and driven sounds, and Blackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature sits across them. ISF is the single control that shifts the voicing across a wide tonal range rather than just cutting or boosting a fixed band, and it is the reason a FLY 3 does not sound like a novelty.
Tape delay on board
A tape delay effect is built in, so repeats are available without a pedal in front of the amp. On a 3-watt practice amp that matters more than it sounds like it should, because delay is what makes quiet playing feel like playing rather than practising.
Small enough to actually carry
The FLY 3 is cutting edge in the sense that matters here: it is genuinely small and genuinely portable, and it still packs a punch with big TONE at the lowest volumes. A hotel room, an office desk or the corner of a bedroom all work as places to play it. The Baby Blue Union Flag cosmetics make this one a limited edition rather than a standard FLY 3.
