Description

ID:CORE STEREO 100 

Utilising the revolutionary technologies of Blackstar’s award winning ID:Core range, the ID:Core 100 and 150 stereo combos are the latest models to the family bringing brand new features such as infinite looping and octave modulation in a high wattage and lightweight package perfect for the gigging guitarist.
With deep editing functionality through the Blackstar INSIDER software and the option to create, upload and download other user’s patches through the community section the user has access to a truly limitless scape of tonal possibility. USB connectivity allows direct recording from amp to computer with ease and emulated output and mp3 line input provide even further recording functionality. With all the innovation, tone and features of their smaller counterparts including the Super Wide Stereo experience these amplifiers will take your sound to the next level.

6 CLASSIC BLACKSTAR VOICES

The unique Voice control has six different channels - Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD 1, OD 2. When used together with Blackstar's patented ISF control you can get the exact tone you're thinking of.
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.

INSIDER SOFTWARE

Plug the amp in to a mac or PC with the USB connection. This will give enable you to edit patches, record and re-amp audio and much more via the GUI.

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.

BUILT-IN LOOPER

The new built-in looper provides both live performance and personal home practice options for players of all skill levels. Whether playing live as a solo artist or as the lone guitarist in a power duo (or trio), the simple and intuitive looper helps you to achieve a stage-filling, multiple track sound at the press of a footswitch (included), with unlimited overdubs.

OCTAVER

Evolution of the ID:Core effects section in creating a new Chorus-Flanger effect makes way for the new polyphonic Octaver. Create everything from thundering detuned lows with the Octave Down to a shimmering 12-string effect with the Octave Up, or even a polyphonic wall of sound with a personal mix of anywhere in-between.

I don't see many reviews on this amp so here's mine if it can help others choose! Bought at a good price in stock B (274€), that's what decided me even though I was already very convinced by the ID core 40 V2 that I also own (see review), Taken to start rehearsing and more if needed and not to carry the little brother around. Demanding beginner, rock/pop on pacifica 112, I won't talk in detail about the features that everyone can read here and there, but about the feeling of several people in real situations. The 6 offered channels are very convincing, progressive and versatile: None to throw away in my opinion, it's zero hassle with pedals or a computer to quickly find something that sounds good and memorize it. Beginners like others will spend more time playing. One of the rare amps to offer factory presets (3x3 expandable to 36) interesting and intelligently assigned from the start, if you want to touch nothing or almost nothing. (Seems to be a constant with Blackstar) No TVP but the 6 channels still use two lamp emulations: 6L6 and EL34. The effects are quality, don't overuse them even if they highlight the stereo well, and let the preamp and its separate Gain/volume setting independent of the master speak: you get a classic behavior of compression, saturation, even at low volume, you can manage clean/crunch by the guitar volume, but what's the point with all the memories available.. The idea of having two channels per type really covers a wide range of sound from super clean to the most violent OD. Good reaction to the 5 positions of a strat, the differences are well marked, it's not an amp that will erase the differences between guitars as I have read. Tested next to a Katana 50 side by side and from the opinion of several musician colleagues (and recordings made) there's no comparison, the Core is much cleaner and musical while being set in 10 seconds: in fact it sounds "studio", which for some is annoying: however it lives and stands out from the mix without spending hours adjusting so... I think you have to aim and compare to the Katana 100w which I hope is much better than the 50. Another alternative the ID TVP30, probably even better if you forget the stereo, power and less complete equalizer. Tested a Zoom G1on multi-effect at the input, nothing to report, on the clean channels it sounds very clean, but the effects and internal voices are better. If you add presence and resonance settings (hidden), the perfectly transparent stereo effects loop, the well thought out looper, the basic pedal supplied, the power of the beast, its ultra light weight, its good finish, the ISF, the tuner, the two settings per effect, the USB functions and all the (little known) possibilities of the optional FS12 Switch coupled with the original switch: that's a lot of qualities. I play next to a Bughera V22 infinium, and unsurprisingly it's very complementary, less roots but much more versatile, probably less good if you push "everything to the max" in saturation and less dynamic but the lamp fan testers and others qualified the blackstar as "alive", "reactive" and the sound "very clean": Personally, beginner, that's enough for me! Good guitar.... (Show more)
