FLY 3 Pack BK : awesome!!!

I was already a fan of blackstar, way before they got into these bedroom rockers. I really can not believe the tone you get out of these tiny speakers! they stepped up to the plate here to try and compete with the rest of the micro amp crew. everyone knows the roland micro cube is the industry standard now for micro amps so you gotta beat that if you want to make some cash - this is very close.

the micro cube is packed with features - the blackstar has only volume, gain, isf, and delay (plus a clean and dirty channel). the problem with the micro is that you get bad clipping when your volume starts hitting above 9 - sure the blackstar is more quiet with smaller speakers but you can crank that bee-otch and it sounds superb! plus, at less than half the size and weight of the cube, way easier to transport. all depends what youre looking for but I think blackstar has filled the gap between "toy" and "bedroom amp". once again, a happy blackstar customer!
