The Blackstar FLY3 is the amp that proves size has nothing to do with tone. Three watts through a 3 inch speaker sounds like it should not be impressive and then you plug in and it completely changes your expectations of what a mini amp can do. This is the practice amp that guitarists actually want to own. Not just tolerate. Want.

Two channels give you a clean sound and an overdrive channel with real Blackstar character. The patented ISF control — Infinite Shape Feature — lets you sweep from American to British voiced tones in a single knob which is a genuinely useful feature that you will actually use rather than ignore. The digital tape delay effect adds depth and dimension to your playing without needing a separate pedal. The MP3 and line in input lets you jam along to backing tracks or music directly through the amp. The emulated line out lets you practice silently through headphones or record directly without a microphone. Battery powered operation means you can take this anywhere — a hotel room, a back porch, a friend's house, a camping trip — and have a real guitar amp with you.

This is the amp for the guitarist who wants something genuinely good for practice at home, a travel amp that does not embarrass itself, or a compact solution for quiet playing that still sounds like a real amplifier. It is also one of the best gifts you can buy for a guitarist at any level. Available at both of our locations. Stop in at The Pied Piper of Charleston in Charleston West Virginia or at The Pied Piper of New Albany in New Albany Ohio. We serve guitarists across the Columbus metro area including Westerville, Dublin, Gahanna, Powell, Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Pataskala, Johnstown, and all of central Ohio.

Big tone. Tiny footprint. Goes anywhere. This is the FLY3.
