Description

The Blackstar FLY 3 3W Mini Amp – Vintage is a compact, battery powered guitar amplifier designed for players who want great tone anywhere. Its classic cream finish and heritage style grille give it a timeless look, while the simple top panel makes it easy for beginners and experienced guitarists alike to dial in inspiring sounds fast. Whether you are practising at home, warming up before a rehearsal, or need a portable amp for writing and travel, the FLY 3 delivers clear clean tones, gritty overdrive and musical ambience in a take anywhere size that fits easily in a bag.

Built to outperform basic mini amps, the FLY 3 features Blackstar’s acclaimed ISF control for genuinely useful tone shaping from bright and cutting to warm and rounded. A responsive 3 inch speaker and carefully tuned cabinet give a fuller sound than you would expect from such a small unit, while the built in tape style delay adds space and character to both clean and driven sounds. Solid construction, tactile controls and reliable electronics make it a reassuring step up from entry level practice options, with a vintage aesthetic that will look the part on any desk or stage.

For UK tuition and school use, the FLY 3 is a smart, classroom friendly choice. The headphone and line out socket is speaker emulated, so students can practise silently with an authentic amp feel, and teachers can plug straight into an interface for quick recording of ideas. The auxiliary input allows you to play along with tracks from a phone, tablet or laptop, making it ideal for graded pieces and band rehearsals at sensible volumes. Running on AA batteries or an optional power supply, it offers flexible power, excellent portability and strong value for money, giving learners and working players a dependable practice partner that encourages more playing time.

Features

Portable 3W guitar amp with vintage styling

The FLY 3 Vintage combines a compact footprint with classic looks, featuring a cream cabinet and heritage style grille that stand out at home, in lessons and on stage. It is light enough to carry anywhere, yet robust enough for everyday practice and travel.

Two channels and musical tape style delay

Switch between clean and overdrive for everything from sparkling chords to gritty riffs, then add ambience with the built in tape style delay. The effect enhances single notes and strummed parts without overpowering your core tone, making small room practice more inspiring.

ISF tone control for versatile voicings

Blackstar’s ISF control lets you sweep from a brighter, tighter response to a warmer, more rounded character. It is an intuitive one knob solution that quickly finds a sound to suit different guitars, styles and backing tracks.

Headphone/Line Out with speaker emulation

The 3.5 mm output delivers an amp like sound for silent practice or direct recording, so you can work through set lists late at night or capture ideas without miking a speaker. It also integrates easily with audio interfaces for simple home recording.

Aux input for tracks and flexible power

Plug in a phone, tablet or laptop via the stereo aux input to jam along with your favourite songs or lesson material. Power it with 6 AA batteries when you are on the move, or use an optional PSU for continuous practice at home.
