Crunch: A rowdy amp that delivers classic medium-gain overdrive
Super Crunch: A muscular-sounding amp that yields more gain and punch than Crunch
OD 1: A hot-rodded amp with plentiful overdrive

Super Wide Stereo
Blackstar’s unique Super Wide Stereo technology gives you an immersive sound experience that will have you playing along to your MP3 backing tracks for hours.

12 Stereo Effects
12 vintage style studio quality effects - 4x modulation, 4x delay and 4x reverb effects, specially voiced for electric guitar and delivered in massive SUPER WIDE STEREO.
Modulations: Phaser, Chorus/Flanger, Tremolo, and a new Envelope Filter infuse your sound with tonal color
Delays: Linear, Analogue, Tape, and Multi delays offer everything from vintage to modern time-based effects
Reverbs: Hall, Spring, and Plate reverbs add immersive dimension to your playing
ISF Control
The ISF control works in conjunction with the Tone control. It allows you to choose the exact tone signature you prefer. Fully CCW is a more American characteristic with a tight bottom end and more aggressive middle, and fully CW is a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive.

The Blackstar emulated output design is a new benchmark for pro direct recording. This no-compromise design makes it easy to get your tone to disk and tape. You can also use it to run a line out to a PA.

INSIDER Software
