This amp has been hand-modified in the UK by Midboost to add a new optical Tremolo feature.
See the video for a demo of the tremolo effect.
This modded amp is unique to Midboost and is not available from any other seller.

Please see my demo Video!
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 in sale - disable the in-built speaker).
And if you prefer analogue its that too (no DSPs anywhere inside). No valves (tubes) either, its all solid-state.
Important notes
Size approx 17W x 10D x 12H (cm)
See my midboost.com website (under "Fly 3 Upgrade Project") for more info about the added Tremolo.

Midboost modifications
- Added mini-knob for built-in Tremolo which both engages the effect and adjusts the speed.
- The tremolo is optical (like many classic guitar amps use).
- Speed ranges from less than one cycle per second cycle to around 5 cycles per second - please watch the video for examples.
- Orange power LED replaces stock red LED for a more "vintage" look

- 2 channels: clean (unusually good at volume for an amp of this class) and dirty (gain channel ranging from mild crunch to classic 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 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 DC PSU (not included), input at rear.
Important notes
- This amp is refurbished (please see photos for condition)
- The Tremolo is always Mono even when a FLY-103 extension cab is plugged in
- Tremolo cannot be applied to the External Line (MP3) input on the top panel.
