Description
The Blackstar Fly 3W is a mini guitar combo amp that packs an incredible punch. Though small in stature, this 3W wonder is not a toy. It's a highly portable powerhouse that lets you unleash rich, full tone wherever inspiration strikes.
Two Versatile Channels With Built-In Delay
The Fly 3W features two channels: an overdrive channel for gritty rock tones and a clean channel for pristine clarity. Its built-in digital delay adds depth and dimension to your sound. Dial in delay time, level, and feedback to create lush, ambient soundscapes or short, slapback echoes.
Shape Your Tone With the Infinite Shape Feature
Blackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature puts full tonal control at your fingertips. Blend between classic British and American voicings to craft your perfect sound. From bright and cutting to warm and rounded, the options are endless.
Jam Anywhere With Battery Power and Aux Input
The Fly 3W packs up light so you can jam wherever inspiration strikes. Its built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 20 hours of portable playtime on a single charge. The Aux input lets you plug in your smartphone or audio player to jam along to your favorite songs.
Silent Practice and Recording Options
The Fly 3W's headphone output mutes the speaker for silent practice sessions. Its emulated line out sends your guitar tone directly to recording devices, mixing boards, and audio interfaces—no miking required.

Pretty much the best portable amp for less than 70 dollars
I tried the small fenders, marshals, oranges... And to be honest, this sounds extremely good, and dare I say it, better sounding than many solid state amps that go for around $150-$200. It has a variety of effects, which is something really great since not many mini-amps offer this. From many mini-amps like this, you expect something with just a volume knob and a gain, you don't expect it to sound great but you expect something to sound fairly decent. When I can't crank my Hot Rod deluxe, I use this little guy... I give it 5 stars because it's something that really surpasses your expectations, remember that this is a 3w amp that you can carry with you and still it sounds loud and good.

Very disappointing for Clean guitar use
I bought this compact amp for use with my Godin electo-acoustic nylon string guitar, and my Fender Strat for use when I travel on holidays. The size was perfect for a suitcase. However, I found my Fly amp terribly underpowered on the Volume-only channel, requiring my guitar to be pulled up to max pickup Volume. The amp was weak sounding, without fidelity, and required increasing the Gain, which just ruined the acoustic tone. It seems that the designers only had one thing in mind: overdriven electric guitar style. If that's all you want this amp to do, its great. But clean loud guitar is not what this amp can do.

Perfect speaker to take with you wherever u want, laying down playing on bed, parks, I think it's very beginner friendly too :) also if you have a small living space this perfect!! doesn't take up a lot space I use it as decor sometimes lol. Since it's small it's not super powerful so don't have high expectations for performance wise.
Great little amp for working on tunes in your room.

There might not be very many effects, but this thing is powerful and can do a lot! I would recommend this for anyone, from like Kirk Hammet to a person who just started. In my opinion, the best part is the overdrive button. Forget about the Ibanez TS-2, this is equally the same. You should get this.

Product description says "built in rechargeable lithium battery with 20 hrs of use on a single charge". However this unit takes 6 AA batteries not included. No idea about the sound quality, haven't tried it yet. Called the store and they were beyond useless ! Said it was probably a misprint! I highly doubt they will change it either, just scam more people .
Perfect for at home practice

I live in a tiny apartment so my main amp has to stay up on a shelf to optimize space. I got so sick of lugging it up and down that I finally bought this tiny one. Works so well for my daily practice and songwriting needs - super easy to bring on trips too.
