Blackstar Fly 3 High Gain Mini Guitar Amp

Aimed squarely at metal, hard rock and punk players, the Fly 3 High Gain takes the legendary Blackstar Fly platform and cranks things into heavier territory. Building on the original two-channel design, it now packs a powerful third voice (Nitro) that delivers full-throttle, high-gain tones. It’s aggressive, tight and comes with a built-in noise gate to keep everything sounding punchy and controlled, even at silly levels of gain.

Pretty fly for a mini amp!

You’ve still got the handy Clean and Overdrive channels on tap, serving up those familiar Fly tones, but with loads of flexibility thanks to Blackstar’s patented ISF control. This lets you sweep from a tight, scooped American-style response to a more mid-focused British character. There’s also an analogue-style delay onboard to add space to your solos, while the custom 3” speaker and sealed cabinet design pump out a surprisingly full, weighty sound from such a compact little amp.

Practice anywhere, riff everywhere

With over a million Blackstar Fly amps sold worldwide, it’s safe to say this range has earned its stripes. The Fly High Gain keeps things ultra-portable with battery-powered operation, making it perfect for playing anywhere. You also get an emulated headphone output for silent practice or recording, plus the option to hook up the Blackstar Fly 103 extension cab and turn it into a bigger, stereo mini rig. Small size, seriously big sound!
