Blackstar Fly 3 Portable Battery Powered Mini Electric Guitar Amp MP3 Line In & Headphone Line Out (Fly 3 Stereo Package, Black)

No brainer purchase. Don't think, just buy if you need a small, good sounding amp. Yes the bass is all but missing, but it is implied. It is in the overall sound. Yes, sometimes they do sound like little boxes, that's because they are. But... Good cleans, nice dirt, great delay, ISF works well. The stereo image produced belies the size. The dry sound comes from the speakers, but the wet seems to come from around them. Very subtle and very pleasant. I'm using them connected to my television as extension speakers. Vastly superior sound quality to the awful speakers fitted to the television plus I get the bonus of a practice amp in the living room. Makes for great playalongs too. Compared to pretty much every other micro-combo, it wipes the floor with their sorry carcasses. A very enjoyable amp to play. The headphones/line out are 'emulated' so your guitar doesn't sound like a banjo on a bad day. It actually records via the line out remarkably well too. The onboard gain is nice enough and very usable, but this also takes pedals very well too and a subtle overdrive sweetens the deal. Loud enough to mildly irritate neighbours. Recommended.

These are a Christmas present from my wife and what a wonderful present. First things first: these will not replace a full size amplifier as together the speakers only give 6 watts total output. Having said that the output volume and tonal quality is far beyond what you would reasonably expect from something this size and price. The reverb and overdrive are really a bonus, though not essential. This makes an ideal practice amp with the facility to add input, through auxiliary socket, of an iPod or any other mp3 player or device with a 3.5mm input cable (not included in the package). I have had limited time to play with this but am very impressed with this as a rehearsal amp and if confined to a smallish venue might even be enough for performance playback, though I would suggest a more substantial main stream amp. This set-up can also be used simply as speakers for use anywhere for playing back music through the aux. input, however volume and tone control are from the input device rather than the amp controls on the main unit. I have tried that and certainly beats any other portable speakers mI have seen and tried. These are not tiny, like some of the portable speakers about although in the box they should fit okay in a small holdall. I am very pleased with these and recommend them to anyone looking for easy portability with quality output.

~{WHAT YOU GET}~ 2 Black star mini amps, one with an input and various controls and the other is just an additional speaker that can be connected via the cable attached. You also get a mains adapter for use without batteries as the amps can be battery powered, and an instruction manual ~{OVERALL REVIEW}~ These little amps are fantastic, totally worth the money. These have the best sound out of all the mini amps I have heard, they are loud but the actual sound quality of the amps both clean with no gain and distorted with gain sounds fantastic! These would be a great purchase for someone that doesn't have the room for a full size amp because this makes a great substitute I couldn't recommend these more

My workmate lent me this amp to try out and i loved it,i orderd one the next day and recieved it earlier than expected,great bit of kit..

This little amp isn't lacking in features or sound quality. The clean sound is exceptional for such a small speaker and the excellent delay adds a depth and character to the sound that is beyond expectations. Cranking up the gain gives you some quite natural sounding breaks which gives a decent crunch sound. The overdrive does a good job of mimicking the great rock guitar sounds that you get from the bigger amps Blackstar make (I also own an id60 TVP combo). The tonal shapes you can get out of the ISF (EQ) feature is fantastic and gives you lots to play around with. Finally the line in and emulated out means you can plug in a laptop, MP3 Player or phone, put your headphones on and silently jam along which is great for practising. All in all this is a fantastic value for money little amp and speaker combo.

Excellent product. I have big amps and small amps for guitars and bass and recently purchased two fly 3 amps for my electro acoustic guitar and mic. Using them with the little additional extension cabinate. Great sound unlike other belt clip on amps and mini amps I had in the past that very quickly lost any quality that they did have. I use these fly 3's for acoustic jams, with an sm58 mic into one of them just to project my singing a little more. Obviously not for gigs. The bass amp is great too and I mainly wanted this to give my fretless acoustic bass a tad more projection. Does the job. Wouldn't use it to turn up loud as the nature of the lower frequency it doesn't work so amazingly very loud. Recommended if using as I am, to slightly amplify acoustic jams etc but not gigs although may be great too for busking. Try it!

Had great expectations of this unit, but ..... Wanted them to replace my current computer speakers and also as an alternative to my guitar amp setup (which is still a Blackstar unit), particularly in the evenings when I need to keep the volume down. Set them up and got them working. There was a constant hum from the amplifier. As I work from home, this started to get irritating and had to unplug from power. I like music streaming when working, but the continued hum was there even when music playing and was distracting. Unfortunately they were not for me due to this hum, but really wanted them to work perfectly.

Ayant eu l'occasion d'essayer ce type de micro ampli en duo grâce à mon fils , j'ai sélectionné le blackstar d'après les vidéos et les specificites: plus puissant( stéréo), avec un très bon son clean ou pas, et avec une alimentation interne ou externe. Je ne suis vraiment pas déçu, le son est bluffant, la puissance aussi. Vue la taille des baffles on ne peut pas demander des basses trop imposantes et c'est sans doute pour cela que j'obtiens les meilleurs résultats avec ma gretsh demi caisse, plutôt naturellement chargée en basses. En tous cas, pour un ampli de cette taille la qualité est magnifique. Cela reste un mini ampli mais pas du tout un gadget. Je recommande à tous d'essayer

Ausgepackt, Gitarre angeschlossen über Funkkontakt ... Funktioinert super und hört sich toll an.

Ottimo articolo, perfetto per studiare in casa senza avere problemi con il vicinato, il sound è molto regolabile e la distorsione mi convince.

Bu ürünü bilen birisi olarak aldığım daha önce kullanmıştım göründüğünden daha ufak ama evde müzik çalışmaları için parlak ve tatmin edici bir ses veriyor. Kutunun içinden 2 tane hoparlör çıkıyor. Biri ana amfi, diğer hoparlör ise aynı boyda ve telefon kablosu şeklinde arkadan birbirine bağlanıyor. Böylelikle stereo ses duyuyorsunuz.. Evinizde arkadaş topluluğunuza mini konser verebilirsiniz büyük salonlar için değil.. Başlıkta belirttiğim ama kısmına gelelim.. Amazonun son zamanlarda kargo paketlerindeki özensizliği gerçekten beni üzüyor.. Böylesine teknoloji bir donanımı nasıl olur da BP3 kodlu bir kâğıt ambalajla kargoluyor. Gerçekten inanılır gibi değil değil.. Maalesef kargo hasar almış ve kendi ambalajı çok zor korumuşki ciddi bir ezik var. Amfinin içinden bir parça kopmuş.. Amfiyi salladıkça bir küçük vida çıngırtısı duyuluyor kulaklarımda.. Ürünü çalıştırdım çalışıyor. Ama Bu ürünün ileride nasıl bir sorun çıkaracağını bilemiyorum o yüzden içime sinmiyor... Karton kutuya konsaydı büyük bir ihtimalle bu sorun yaşanmayacaktı. İade edip etmemeyi düşünüyorum...

Great set for desktop practice. I have them doubling as my PC speakers. The great value I get from these is due to the combination I can make for practice. I have wired the input to my PC sound, and then I have my guitar plugged in normally. The auxiliary input volume is controlled by whatever you connect into it, in my case my PC, but you can connect smart phones or MP3 players. What this allows me do do is to play backing tracks, drum loops and other great stuff and jam away while keeping full control of the volume on my guitar controllable independently of the auxiliary input, which is great for pumping up solos and so on. The sound in the speakers is really clean and takes on the different guitar pickups well. The Gain/Overdrive features are really well made and the distortion you get out keeps stable. Seems to fit most of my needs since I am mostly a Blues/Rock/Clean sound type of player. I could not recommend this for people looking for huge distortion, but these are great all rounders. The delay feature works really well. I kind of regret that it cannot be configured more, but it is good enough having both volume and time controls. You can play with it to give the impression of some reverb or crank the timing for neat delay hits. Probably the least noticeable feature is the equalizer. I am no expert, but I think this one concentrates mostly on the mid-ranges and thus I can't hear huge differences on the range. It is, however, functional. As for the wattage, don't be fooled. This is definitely not meant to power parties, but will fill small sized rooms easily (bedroom size). For kicks I cranked up the volume and gain with the overdrive and they did work pretty well. With humbuckers or combined coils I got no noise when cranking up the volume all the way up without the overdrive active. The overdrive will give you some noise, but nothing out of the ordinary for an overdrive. All in all, probably the best possible setup for a starter or training setup. You get all the basics covered in respect to configuration and effects giving you a wide range of options for a very compact setup.
