Blackstar PB-1 Rechargeable Power Bank for Super Fly Amplifiers
The Blackstar Super Fly is a supremely portable amp, and the PB-1 is what makes it properly portable. It is a rechargeable battery pack designed for the Super Fly, and it does two other useful jobs while it is in your bag.
- Up to 9 hours of portable jamming: enough for a long day out, a rehearsal or a weekend away without hunting for a socket.
- Made for the Super Fly: a purpose-built rechargeable battery rather than a generic pack.
- Dual USB charging ports: so it doubles as a power bank for a phone or a tablet.
- Built-in flashlight: for finding cables and connections on dark stages.
If you own a Super Fly and use it away from mains power, the PB-1 is the accessory that turns it from an amp you can carry into an amp you can actually play anywhere. It is designed for the Super Fly, so check compatibility before pairing it with anything else in the Blackstar range.
The Blackstar Super Fly is a supremely portable amp that lets you take the show on the road. Add the PB-1 Powerbank and you can enjoy up to 9 hours of portable jamming, which is the difference between an amp that is easy to carry and an amp you can genuinely use anywhere.
Nine hours of playing
Battery life is the number that decides whether a portable rig is actually portable. Up to 9 hours covers a full day of busking, an outdoor session, a rehearsal in a room with no convenient socket, or a weekend away. It is rechargeable, so it is a one-time purchase rather than a running stream of disposable batteries.
Two jobs it also does
The PB-1 includes a pair of handy USB charging ports, which means it works as a power bank for a phone or a tablet at the same time. There is also a handy flashlight to illuminate dark stages, which sounds like a novelty until you are trying to find an input jack behind a cabinet with the house lights down.
Compatibility
The PB-1 is built as the rechargeable battery for the Blackstar Super Fly. If you own a Super Fly and take it out of the house, this is the piece that completes it. Check compatibility before pairing it with other amps in the range.
