BLACKSTARID Core 40 v3 Electric Guitar Combo Amplifier with Built In Effects/Tuner and Line In/Streaming Input & Direct USB Recording…

Brilliant Amp. Packs a lot of power above its size. Lots of functionality which I am still getting to grips with. Easy to change tones for everyday playing. Programmable for the Techies. Very pleased. I like the 1watt/40watt switch that enables you to use full amplification or low amplifications for practising/learning where volume isn’t the most important requirement

Firstly, the amp sounds fantastic. Wide range of tones and settings to get exactly what you want.Best feature for myself is that using a Mini-USB cable you can hook this up to a PC and it identifies the amp as both line in audio and line out for monitoring. I can plug my headphones into the amp and record away - it works immediately on Windows and Linux, and is perfect for Audacity, Cubase, FL Studio. And the stereo effects the amount offers sound amazing through this.This has saved me a shedload on a separate audio interface for recording my tunes as well as being a really nice amp. awesome

Great amp, variety of tones and effects delivered by two speakers in a compact package, creating great sounds. Mains or battery power.

Very happy with item. A lot of features- check out youtube. Excellent sound quality Well built, looks good and nice size for portability.

These work a treat for my bike.

Compact amp. Great for practice if not performance. The addition of some effects (delay, reverb) is appreciated. It can also be plugged directly in Logic (or your DAW of choice) without an audio interface.My son likes it so much I've had to order another for myself.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this as I saw it was cheaper than the spider v and thought I’d give it a go, excellent value for money, great sound… I’m just starting out so a decent little amp like this was a bargain, different sound features through the onboard controls all the other like delay and reverb.. the added tuner also, have hooked it to pc yet but I think it will be great when I play Rocksmith also through itBuild quality is solid and sturdy so deffo no complaints thereSome challenge will be to see how my pedals will handle into this also… I feel sorry for the neighbours lol

Got this for live streaming, but also as part of my recording setup, directlu to a DAW via usb, using phones output, not via the usb-c onboard the amp. Only succeeded in updating the firmware at the third attempt, and now utilise Architect software through a Hosa foot switch. The six sound settings cover pretty much what a lot of pedals offer: from bright to extreme overdrive; you can also change parameters in Modulation, Delay and Reverb. Saving and storing patches is an added bonus, while being able to use a TRRS 3.5 (shown as ‘External Headphones’’ in output) lets you play along with Logic, GarageBand, your DAW and audio files. Handy when songwriting.I’m truly impressed with just how versatile this amp is.
