Blackstar FLY 3

The FLY 3 is an innovative, cutting edge 3 watt mini amp which combines two channels, tape delay and the Blackstar patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) to create the perfect compact and portable guitar amplifier. It's advantageously small and packs a punch with big TONE, even at the lowest volumes.

Huge Tone, Small Size

Rather than just being focussed on its look and compact size and ultimately sacrificing the quality of sound, the FLY 3's unique design delivers the same tonal balance and feel of a larger guitar amp even at low volumes.

Sonic Performance

The use of a full range driver eliminates the need of a subwoofer. This has the benefit of removing the requirement for a crossover and the negative sonic impact that can have. The key part of a guitar's tone occurs in the frequencies that are normally affected by a crossover and for music playback the performance is similar to nearfield monitors.

Attention to Detail

Countless hours were spent on the design of the cabinet to achieve a sonic performance not normally found in a mini amp. The housing is sealed and tuned to ensure optimum tonal response and the material used has been mathematically modelled to have the Young's Modulus of wood. This retains the bass response usually associated with a wooden cabinet.
