Description

Take full command of advanced live and studio rigs with the Blackstar ID:X Floor 3, the most fully featured floorboard in the ID:X range. Designed for players who demand maximum control and flexibility, it delivers six amp voices, patented ISF tone shaping and True Valve Power responses modeled on EL84, EL34 and 6L6 power sections. With over 35 onboard effects, an integrated assignable expression pedal and deep routing options, ID:X Floor 3 functions as a powerful performance and production hub built for demanding environments.

Six Amp Voices With ISF and True Valve Power Feel

Blackstar's ID:X Floor 3 offers six amp voices that span clean, edge-of-breakup, crunch and high-gain tones. The ISF control reshapes the entire tone stack, allowing seamless movement between American and British-style responses. Selectable True Valve Power settings recreate the compression, dynamics and touch sensitivity of EL84, EL34 and 6L6 power sections, giving patches a natural amp-like response that translates across genres.

Advanced Effects Engine With Flexible Routing

More than 35 onboard effects covering drives, modulation, delay and reverb support complex signal chains with multiple effects running simultaneously. Parameters are edited directly from the panel encoders, with the integrated display providing clear real-time feedback. An onboard effects loop enables integration of external pedals, expanding routing possibilities for layered tones and hybrid setups.

Expression Control, CabRig Storage, and Full MIDI Integration

The integrated assignable expression pedal provides real-time control over volume, wah and effect parameters without additional hardware. CabRig speaker simulation features per-patch storage, ensuring consistent sound from song to song. Dual balanced XLR outputs deliver reliable stereo feeds to front-of-house or recording systems, while USB-C supports direct recording. Full MIDI CC and PC support allows ID:X Floor 3 to function as a central controller within complex performance rigs.

The Flagship ID:X Floorboard for Uncompromising Control

The Blackstar ID:X Floor 3 multi-effects floorboard is built for players who rely on advanced routing, detailed patch management and expressive control in professional environments.
