Blackstar Fly 3 Mini Amp - Original Black Version, 3W with ISF and Tape Delay

The Blackstar Fly 3 is a compact, portable guitar amplifier designed for practice and casual use anywhere. With a 3-watt output powering a single 3-inch speaker, it delivers surprisingly full tone for its miniature size. The amp operates on either six AA batteries or an optional 6.5V DC power supply (sold separately), making it genuinely portable for outdoor sessions, travel, or quick practice without needing mains power. Key features include two channels (clean and overdrive) for tonal variety, alongside Blackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) circuit. The ISF allows seamless adjustment of the amplifier's voicing, blending characteristics associated with British and American amp tones. A digital 'tape' delay effect adds depth and space, while the MP3/line-in socket enables users to jam along with backing tracks from a phone, tablet, or laptop. For silent practice or recording, an emulated line-out/headphone jack is provided. The unit also includes an RJ45 jack for connecting an optional Fly 103 extension cabinet to create a 6-watt stereo setup. The Fly 3 is best suited for guitarists seeking a highly portable, battery-powered practice amp that doesn't compromise on usable tone. Its multifunctional design also allows it to serve as a general-purpose portable speaker for audio playback. The lightweight construction and compact dimensions make it easy to transport in a backpack, ideal for practising in different rooms, taking to a friend's house, or using in the garden. It represents a practical solution for maintaining playing routine while away from a main amplifier setup.
