Blackstar ID:CORE 100 stereo gitarrförstärkare 100 watt

Allmänt

The Blackstar ID:CORE 100 takes all of the features from the ID:CORE series and puts a bit more power behind them. For even greater possibilities, it's got a looper and an octaver on board too. This 100-watt guitar amp is loud enough for live performances with two 10-inch speakers that deliver super wide stereo sound. For a powerful amp that is equipped with two speakers, it is relatively light. That makes it an excellent choice if you often carry your own gear to rehearsals or performances. While it may be relatively light in weight, it is nothing of the sort when it comes to features.

ID:CORE 100: a broad palette of sounds

The Blackstar ID:CORE 100 has 3 fully-programmable channels with six voices consisting of clean warm, clean bright, crunch, super crunch, OD1 and OD2. There are controls for gain and volume, as well as a 3-band EQ for adjusting the bass, middle and treble. The controls also include Blackstar's patented ISF knob that lets you change the character of the amp's sound from British to American and everything in between. There's also a comprehensive effects section with modulation, delay and reverb effects with four variations per type. The ID:CORE 100 also has an octaver effect on board that lets you adjust the sound by an octave up or down.

Never-ending fun with the built-in looper

The ID:CORE series was already versatile, but now it's even more so. The Blackstar ID:CORE 100 and its bigger brother the 150 have a looper function built in. The looper allows you to record a section of up to 30 seconds in length and is easy to operate with the included foot switch to let your creativity run wild. For even more hands free control, Blackstar offers an optional foot switch with five buttons.

Practical extra functions and software

The ID:CORE 100 has a USB connector so that you can easily connect it to your computer for recording purposes. It's also possible to upload, edit and store sounds on your computer using the free downloadable software. You'll also find an MP3/line input so that you can connect an external sound source, a headphone socket with speaker emulation for practising silently or recording, and a stereo effects loop so that you can connect your favourite pedals. If you're looking for a versatile modelling amplifier equipped for the stage, then Blackstar's ID:CORE 100 is the one for you.
