Blackstar ID Core 100 : Read this before buy

This is what legitimately biased Youtubers will not tell you.(but you can still read their facial expressions...)

This thing has very harsh treble. Reason might be the used tweeter(or lack of it). You cannot get decent clean sound out of it.

But one thing is for sure:bass is boomy. Take signal out from effect send to your high end headphones and you find out that bass is still boomish.So reason is not the drivers or output stage.Reason is tone stack. Bass control needs to be at 7-8 all times.

If you think you could use USB for reamping consider latency.

It is like hundreds of milliseconds. But it works !

If you want long sustained distortion you just might get away with it for a while. You might get soon bored though because lack of definition.

Blackstar is supposed to do better job considering the reputation.
