Blackstar Fly 3 High Gain - 3 W Guitar Amplifier

The Blackstar Fly 3 High Gain delivers the aggressive, high-gain voicing that modern rock and metal players expect, in a compact 3-watt package that runs on batteries or optional DC power. Unlike many mini amps that sound boxy, its closed-back design and patented ISF control let you shape the tone from British to American character, while the built-in digital delay adds depth without extra pedals.

Highlights

• High Gain voicing for saturated, modern distortion tones
• Patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) for versatile EQ shaping
• Built-in digital delay with level and time controls
• Emulated line out and headphone output for silent practice
• MP3/line input for jamming along with tracks
• Up to 50 hours of battery life from 6 AA batteries

In daily use

The Fly 3 High Gain is a grab-and-go amp for practice, backstage warm-ups, or recording ideas. Plug in your guitar, dial in the gain and ISF to taste, and add delay for ambience. Connect headphones for late-night sessions, or link the optional FLY 103 extension cabinet for a wider stereo spread. The aux input turns it into a portable speaker for your phone or MP3 player.
