The Blackstar ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 is a versatile 40-watt (2 x 20-watt) digital combo amplifier designed for practice, performance, and studio use. This fourth-generation model builds on its predecessor's success with louder output, enhanced hardware, and software voicing. Ideal for beginners, buskers, and seasoned players, it offers a premium feel with a brushed effect panel and cutting-edge features.
Tube-Modeled Tone and Rich Stereo Sound: The ID:Core V4 delivers six distinct amp voices, from pristine cleans to high-gain overdrive, covering classic and boutique tones. Its 12 built-in effects—modulation, delay, and reverb—add depth and polish. Blackstar’s patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) lets you seamlessly blend American and British tonal characteristics. Super Wide Stereo technology creates an immersive soundstage, making every note feel alive.
Built for Versatility: With an intuitive function-per-knob interface, the ID:Core V4 is easy to dial in. Power reduction to 1 watt ensures full tone at neighbor-friendly volumes. The 4-channel USB-C output transforms the amp into an audio interface for low-latency recording and re-amping. A bidirectional TRRS Line In/Streaming jack allows you to jam along with tracks or capture performances directly to your phone. The amp’s linear speakers also deliver high-fidelity playback for music, movies, and gaming.    Â
Advanced Editing and Emulation: Blackstar’s Architect software enables deep patch editing and cloud-based preset sharing, letting you back up and reload tones effortlessly. CabRig Lite, Blackstar’s next-generation cabinet emulator, offers user controls for amp models, cabinet types, and virtual mic placement. Cycle through virtual setups like Tweedy 12s or British half-stacks to nail your ideal sound without physical mics.
Additional Features: Power Bank compatibility makes it perfect for busking or on-the-go jamming. Whether you’re practicing at home, performing on the street, or recording in the studio, the ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 is a compact, feature-packed solution that elevates your playing experience.
