Blackstar ID Core Beam 5-stars Reviews

Does what it says on the tin

It is great putting music from my iPhone via bluetooth comes out well on the Blackstar so far I am impressed.

Very good little amp - Atrocious PC/MAC application.

The amp is very very good - the stereo speakers on this thing are almost magical for the size.

It's very well built - works brilliantly as an audio interface and the voicings are very good/customizable.

But their computer application...

It looks like it was coded by a log high on acid, whilst using internet explorer code as base and inspiration.

seriously...no.

An inspiring little amp

This amp inspire me to play more, it has a nice tone and a number of very usable effects, all at your fingertip.

It works with electric, acustic, bass and it has even an acustic simulation: an incredibly flexible device!

Plug in the guitar and you don't need anything else to start experimenting, thanks to the very usable integrated effects.

I like how the look is a nice blend between an usual guitar amp and an hi-fi speaker or a radio. This makes it fit nicely not just in the studio but also in a living room.

The tuner mode and Bluetooth complete the picture, giving an extra boost to the usefulness of the package.

It doesn't try to be a gigging amp, but I do use it for rehearsal.

All in all it gives me a lot of joy!

Wow!!

I bought this as a portable bass amp and was also interested in the bluetooth capability. It has proved to be a brilliant solution to meet my requirements. However, It has knocked my socks off as a acoustic guitar and electric guitar practice amp. I now find myself micing up this amp to do my home recording. Have tried the emulated line out into a tascam dp32... but wasn't happy with recording levels i could get on some of the voices... stick one or two sm57's in front... it suits me fine ....i am Well pleased.
