THE SQUIER SONIC MUSTANG

BLACKSTAR ID:CORE 10 V3

New and Improved
The ID:Core V3 is an enhanced version of Blackstar’s best-selling V2 series of high-quality portable guitar amps. In addition to a refined look and an ergonomic moulded handle for easier transport, the ID:Core V3 boasts an overall improved sound thanks to its lower noise hardware. When used with the compact PB-1 powerbank, you can free yourself from the shackles of mains power and take your ID:Core V3 anywhere, making it a suitable amp for busking. The 40 is compatible with the FS-18 and FS-11 footswitches if you need hands-free control of the effects.

Super Wide Stereo
One of the stand-out features of the ID: Core V3 range is the lush stereo width provided by the dual speaker configuration. Combined with the upgraded “Super Wide” studio-quality effects (simultaneous Mod, Delay and Reverb with four variations of each one), the ID: Core V3 is capable of deep and expansive tones. Using the tap tempo button, you have the ability to sync up the effects to your music. The ID: Core V3 can double as a brilliant speaker for general use (listening to music, connecting to your TV) as it has a Line In and full-range, linear speakers.

From Crisp Funk to Brutal Metal
You have six voices to choose from (Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD 1 and OD 2), giving you an arsenal of huge tones that can then be sculpted with Blackstar’s patented ISF control. This allows you to continuously shift from an American-style EQ response (pronounced treble and bass) to a British-style one (warmer mid-range). Once you’ve dialled-in a sound that you like, you can then store it in up to 12 patch slots to recall later. There’s a Manual mode if you prefer a classic approach to tweaking your amp.

Powerful Software Capability
The ID:Core V3 features USB connectivity, allowing you to take its capabilities to the next level. Once connected, the ID:Core V3 is transformed into a 4-channel USB audio interface with low-latency recording and the ability to re-amp unprocessed signals. When recording via USB, you can take advantage of Blackstar’s advanced Cab Rig Lite software, which accurately reproduces the feel of a real mic’d up cab. You can fine-tune the emulated relationship between the mic and speaker as well as edit the cab, mic and room environment. Live streaming your tone has never been easier, with a specialised TRRS 3.5mm in/out that allows you to stream to and from a compatible device.

The Architect software gives you precise control of the ID:Core V3 and lets you back-up your patches. There’s a thriving community you can share your favourite sounds with, as well as try new ones out.

A Tough Companion
The ID:Core V3 range is housed in a robust gig-and-tour ready package that’ll be able to withstand all the knocks and bumps that come with regular use. If you’re looking for an affordable amp that can cover basically any genre, give you a tonne of powerful software options and sound amazing - the ID:Core V3 range is a top choice.

FEATURES:

- Guitarist-friendly controls combined with the power of programmability for an amazingly versatile tonal range from pristine clean to high gain.

- Cab Rig Lite is our next-generation Cab Simulator, with user-configurable controls for elements such as cabinet, mic and room environment.
- Cab Rig Lite software enables you to fine tune the simulated relationship between mic and speaker delivered through the Blackstar ID:CORE V3’s direct USB recording output. Unlike ‘snapshot’ IRs these responses are customisable by the player.
