Hand-modified Blackstar Fly 3W purple guitar amplifier combo with vari-speed chorus

A Midboost exclusive: A special edition Blackstar Fly 3 Purple guitar amp with added vari-speed chorus and maxed-out purpleness!

This brand new amp has been hand-modified in the UK by Midboost to add the Chorus
feature and purple cosmetics.

See on-line video for a demo of the chorus effect.

Midboost modifications

Added Speed knob for variable speed Chorus which works by modulating the existing Tape Delay effect.

With Chorus engaged:

·"Delay Level" adjusts the amount of chorus effect heard with the original signal

·       "Delay Time" (at the anti-clockwise end) adjusts the effect between Classic Chorus and Tape Echo wobble

·       Chorus depth is internally preset

When the Chorus Speed is at minimum the chorus is dis-engaged and the Delay goes back to the original factory feature.

Purple knobs replace stock black ones.

Purple power LED replaces stock red one.

Stock Blackstar features

The Blackstar Fly 3 is probably the best and loudest guitar practice combo amp in its class!

It's also a great headphone practice amp.  Headphones (not included) disable the in-built speaker.

And if you prefer analog(ue) it’s that too (no DSPs anywhere inside). No valves/tubes either, it’s all solid-state.

• 2 channels: clean (unusually good at volume for an amp of this class) and dirty (gain channel ranging from mild crunch to hard overdrive).
• • If desired, either channel can be pushed harder with a boost pedal or hot pickups.
  • Note only one channel can be used at a time (there is only one instrument input jack). Channel selection is controlled by a push switch.
• ISR tone control - Blackstar's patented EQ ranging from "US" to "UK" amp tone.
• In-built delay emulating analog tape style (darker repeats), with delay "Time" and "Level" controls.
• External 3.5mm stereo line-level input for backing track, from phone, tablet etc. (note there's no input mix level on this channel).
• 3.5mm headphone / line-level emulated speaker output.
• Blackstar extension speaker (not included) can be connected via custom jack at rear, giving 6W total output.
• Amp runs off 6x AA batteries (not included) or a Blackstar PSU (not included). Input on rear panel.
