Description

The Blackstar ID:CORE V3 Stereo 40 is a 40 watt stereo guitar combo designed for beginners through to progressing players who want inspiring tones at home, in lessons and at first rehearsals. Its twin speakers deliver a wide, immersive sound that makes practice feel more like playing on stage, while six versatile amp voices cover everything from sparkling cleans to saturated high gain. Simple, clearly laid out controls mean you can get a great sound in seconds, and the built in USB audio interface lets you record directly to your computer without extra gear, ideal for sharing ideas and tracking demos with ease.

A clear step up from basic beginner amps, the ID:CORE V3 Stereo 40 adds genuine stereo width, more power in the room and studio quality effects that sound rich and dimensional. The six core voices are refined by Blackstar’s ISF control, so you can sweep from a tight, American style response to a warm, British feel in a single knob turn. Deep editing via the Architect software opens up detailed effect parameters and cab simulation options, and you can save patches for different songs or styles. Tap tempo, a chromatic tuner and a responsive feel make daily playing more enjoyable and consistent.

For tuition and school use in the UK, the ID:CORE V3 Stereo 40 is a practical, reliable choice. The intuitive panel helps students focus on playing, the headphone and line out with speaker emulation supports silent practice, and the aux input makes it easy to jam along with backing tracks. Teachers will appreciate the USB audio for quick lesson recordings and feedback. Lightweight and compact yet impressively full sounding, it fits comfortably in classrooms, practice rooms and bedrooms alike, offering excellent value for money with features that keep pace as players advance.

Features

Immersive Super Wide Stereo

Twin speakers create a spacious, room filling sound that makes practice more inspiring and performances more engaging. The stereo effects are designed to spread across the room, giving chords depth and single notes extra dimension without complicated setup.

Six versatile amp voices

Studio quality effects and control

Built in modulation, delay and reverb deliver polished, gig ready sounds. Tap tempo keeps delays in time, while deep editing via Architect software allows precise control of effect parameters and cab simulation so you can shape patches for different songs.

USB audio for easy recording

Plug straight into a computer via USB to capture ideas, demos and practice sessions without extra interfaces. The speaker emulation helps recorded tones sit naturally in a mix, ideal for homework submissions, lesson notes and home productions.

Practice friendly and portable
