Essential Information About the ID:X Floor Three Multi-Effects
- High-level DSP modeling with 12 electric amp models, 3 bass models, 2 acoustic models, and an acoustic guitar simulation, plus over 35 built-in effects.
- "Tube amp" feel thanks to power amp response control (EL84, EL34, 6L6) and CabRig technology with "In The Room" mode.
- Immediate usability: OLED screen, direct controls without complex menus, creation/recall of 99 patches.
- Complete connectivity for stage and studio: USB-C audio interface, effects loop, MIDI In/Thru, outputs for console or in front of an amp.
In the ID:X Lineage: Blackstar's DNA on Your Pedalboard
Resulting from "component-by-component" modeling, the ID:X Floor Three brings the spirit of Blackstar amps and the legends they evoke directly to the floor. The "tone stacks" and preamp sections are reproduced with rare precision, while the patented ISF lets you travel from a sharp British tone to a deeper American signature. The result: a modern platform that retains the musicality and interactivity of the original circuits.
Who Is It For, and What For?
Ideal for guitarists and bassists of all levels who want a
pro sound without complexity. Blues, rock, pop, metal, ambient, or acoustic folk: its voicings cover a wide range. On stage, it integrates into the pedalboard or replaces a full rig direct to console. In the studio or at home, the USB-C interface and CabRig enable clean recordings via headphones or monitors, without miking a speaker cabinet.
Musician-Friendly Controls and Features
The panel gathers essential controls (Gain, 3-band EQ +
ISF, Volume/Master) and immediate access to effect families (Pre-FX/OD-DS, Mod, Delay, Reverb) with real-time editing. The
built-in expression pedal controls wah, volume, or any assignable parameter. The
power amp response selector changes the feel under your fingers (EL84, EL34, 6L6). Rig management is simple: banks, manual modes, tuner, and
99 recordable patches, plus advanced editing via the free "Architect" software.
Sound
Transparency when needed, character when desired: the ID:X Floor Three responds to your attack and guitar volume knob like a real amp. Breathable cleans remain defined, crunches have grit, high-gains stay tight and articulate. The CabRig technology and "
In The Room " mode place your sound in space for natural sensations on headphones, front of house, or recording. Bass models maintain low-end foundation, while acoustic models and simulation deliver a credible woody tone.
