Best micro amp out there!

I've have played the junk evh micro, vox, marshall...this amp totally blows them all away!! Such a great sounding micro amp! Amazing sound for such a small amp! The delay is perfect the distortion is perfect! Blackstar has nailed this tone! You could almost bring this to a gig as back up and just mic it to the house speakers or pa, hidden behind your, full stack, half stack or combo amp!! If your looking for a practice amp or maybe a beginners amp, this is the one!! Buy it you will not be unhappy!!

Great product BUT!

The box as well as the instructions do not mention that the amp does not come with a power supply. Only mentions it comes with the batteries.Totally misleading. Now i have to go and pay an additional $20.00 for the power supply.Is it a big deal? No,But if it is not being supplied say so. Otherwise its a great sounding amp for entertaining small groups

    I use it sitting on the couch, so I don't have to lug my amp into the living room, it has great sound for what it is.

  • Very small housing, but depth of sound!!

    Great sound for the size and portability - extremely mobile and transportable (fits in a backpack) - perfect tabletop practice amp!

  • Good sound for a small box

    First things first; this combo pack DOES include the power supply but batteries are NOT included in the combo pack. Despite the great reviews, don't expect this to sound like a full-size amp; the small speaker mean this amp lacks low end. The pair does sound OK playing in stereo music through the aux input; good detail and sound quality except for the missing bass. As a practice amp, especially through headphones, this thing rocks; with the ISF control you can make it sound like a Fender or a Marshall Amp. Cleans are good but the high gain channel can sound a bit messy if you crank it to 11. The amplifier is more than loud enough for home practice even without doubling the power to 6 watts by adding the second speaker. I don't own a full-size electric amp but I've found out that running the cab-simulated headphone output into my acoustic amp's aux input gives an excellent equivalent so I probably won't bother with a 'real' electric guitar amp; this setup sounds sooo good.

    Very nice sounding mini stack amplifier and it came with the charger. I will use it when traveling and practicing by the pool and living room. Small enough to leave on living table and not get yelled at for having speakers in the living room. Takes pedals well. I also own the Super Fly which is in my bedroom. Blackstar amps are legit.

  • Great little amp that has many uses!

    Great little practice amp. Good tone and delay is decent. I use this for practice around the house as well as portable jam situations like small pool side parties etc. Also is an excellent solution for monitoring computer when doing recordings in the field. Battery life is longer than expected. Still using the first set I put in and it's been weeks of daily use. Overall tone is awesome for an amp of such small size. The stereo setup is a really nice plus when doing lower volume jams. Don't be fooled by the small size as it can get loud enough to draw attention but also be quiet enough to practice late night via headphones or reducing volume. Don't expect to play full band gigs of course (unless miked), but I can see where this amp would be a must have for any busker that wants a mobile and very lightweight addition on the street corner. Very satisfied with this product especially at this price point.
