Blackstar ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 40-Watt 2x6.5" Digital Combo Amplifier

The Blackstar ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 is a cutting-edge 40-watt digital combo amplifier tailored for guitarists who demand versatility, premium sound, and modern functionality. Featuring two 6.5-inch custom Blackstar speakers, this fourth-generation amp delivers rich, immersive Super Wide Stereo sound, making it perfect for home practice, small gigs, recording, or streaming. With 6 programmable amp voices—ranging from pristine Clean Warm and Clean Bright to aggressive Super Crunch, OD 1, and OD 2—it offers a tonal palette for every style. The patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) lets you blend American and British tonal characteristics, while 12 studio-quality effects (Phaser, Chorus, Tremolo, Delay, Reverb, and more) add depth and dimension.

Designed for ease and innovation, the ID:Core V4 includes a USB-C interface for 4-channel recording and re-amping, a TRRS streaming jack for smartphone jamming, and a cab-emulated headphone/line out for silent practice. The free Architect software unlocks deep patch editing, preset sharing, and a Randomize feature for creative inspiration, while CabRig Lite provides advanced cabinet simulation. A built-in tuner, power reduction to 1W, and compatibility with an optional PB-1 power bank (up to 9 hours of portable use) make it ultra-practical. Though Bluetooth isn’t included (exclusive to the V4 10 variant), its linear speaker response excels for music playback.

Compact at 17.1" W x 13.4" H x 7.3" D and weighing just 12.1 lbs, it’s built for portability with a recessed handle and sleek brushed panel. Developed by Blackstar’s expert R&D team, the ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 combines pro-grade quality with guitarist-friendly controls, making it an all-in-one solution for practice, performance, and production.
