🎸Whats new in V3?🎸 New re-voiced studio quality FX in super wide stereo. Dedicated input for connecting to your smart device via TRRS cable (sold separately). The amp can be connected to the free Mac + PC app “Blackstar Architect” for deep control.

I bought one of these little guys because I wanted something I can easily carry from room to room around the house, and my Mesa isn’t very portable lol I was blown away by the sonic quality, loudness, and that ISF knob that allows you to sweep from Fender to Marshall and everything in between. I couldn’t be happier for something I grabbed off of FB Marketplace for $80
@@pixy547 They are all great amps. If you want loads of great effects then go with the Blackstar. Marshall is a nice classic tone. But I have played the Orange crush 35rt and it is brilliant. Loads of tone options, plenty of reverb and it has a tuner and an effects loop. I would say go with the Orange.
Absolutely brilliant demo! Wonderfully done. This is exactly the demo one would hope for when considering gear. Of all the years on UA-cam - this presents all features in a way people can use. Great playing by the way.
Well i have to say a HUGE thank you and well done. I have just spent a week trying to find a practice amp for when i don't want to plug my Deluxe Reverb in ... and every single video i watch hasn't let me just hear what sounds it can give me. With you simply going through all the different dirty and clean sounds, that's what i wanted. Thank you Toby and more power to ya.
Thank you for the Demo. I'm a new Guitarist trying to find my first amp, and I've narrowed it down to two. This is exactly what I was looking for to help me decide. A good demo showing the features of the amp, and how they achieve a sound they're making from said amp. I was recommended this amp, and after seeing your demo, am now extremely strongly considering it. Thank you!
This thing KICKS ASS. I have 2 amps at home, Marshall DSL1CR and the Blackstar ID Core10 V3. The blackstar serves me very well and will never be sold. I play both amps regularly. I go to Marshall mainly when I want that tube Marshall crunchy vibe. I could never say, that the blackstar id core 10 is less of an amp. In contrary, it is the PERFECT HOME PRACTICE AMP. It brings awesome effects, the bedroom volume is just perfect (sounds great on low volume and blows the roof when you crank It up). Put it in the middle of the room, stand up (or sit) in front of it, try out some effects and magic with the superwide stereo starts...you will just keep looking in the corners, wondering where all these sounds come from...well, it all comes out of this little mfking piece of gear. UNBELIEVABLE! The architect software is an amazing addition which allows you to tune in any sound from lovely cleans, Chuck Berry, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, RATM to heavy metal. This thing is absolutely unbeatable for the price. A clear recommendation. This demo is brilliant, good job, man!
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos I agree, I traded my V2 for the V3, not much difference, but I love the sound, and the noise gate is more controllable than the V2. Plus, I love the presence and resonance features as well. I know everyone has the sound in their head they are looking for, but I just love the cores. I also bought a 100, and it's awesome as well
Awesome. I like how quickly you went through all the knobs and settings near the end. I’m going to look and see if you have a similar review for the amp I have, mustang one fender the first version
I’m a year into playing guitar(acoustic) and I just bought my first amp (this one) and some other guy on UA-cam said it’s a horrible amp “the worst ever”, this made me feel a bit defeated, but it sounds good to my ears
Awesome , just got one, they are pretty impressive for the price, your review helped me feel better about purchase. I have had so much fun with this thing. I thought I had got burnt by some guitar center pokemons until I worked with it and finally figured out some sound combo,s , I just wanted a chorus and delay. But you can get some real cool sounds with this ting. I especially liked the reverb, I got a shimmer pedal sound out of it, close anyway. Great review ,subscribed.
The only thing that would make this amp absolutely unbeatable in it's price point is bluetooth streaming for backing tracks... That feature would make this thing absolutely unbeatable for a small lightweight beginner amp or even for someone with not a lot of room who doesn't need the biggest amp and cabinet setup.
There's not any real differences between v2 and v3, and you can use the new architect software on any of them. I don't think the sound has changed much at all since the v1.
this doesn't compete with Boss, the Katana 50 cost more, is bigger and has 12 inch speaker. ID Core 10 and 20 has 8 inch speaker, and competes with Fender Mustang LT25.
Great review, thanks for this. Do you think this Blackstar ID Core 10 V3 has enough volume and power for home use, or do you recommend the 20-watt one?
Great video. I have this amp and this has taught me a lot. What music is being played for the clean sound section 5.17 . Have you any tabs to point me towards? Thanks
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos thanks again but I'm still struggling a bit. My Ibanez Gio has a humbucker but I guess I don't really know how to use it. The various settings make a huge difference to how it sounds. Not sure where to set it and what it does. I know it selects or deselects the pick ups.
Do you recommend this amp for metal? Or is there a better amp in this price range? (Important note: a good headphone output is almost as important as the sound quality on the speakers)
Yeah I like it on the USA ISF side for higher gain. The Blackstar headphone outs are the best by far in this price ranfe. I find the cab emulation is hugely important in metal and you can connect the Blackstar through USB and audition all the different onboard cabs until you find one that's perfect, then save it to the amp. 👍
For metal use od2, full British tone ( hard right) ,short delay, with or with out chorus & reverb. I've had the original for over 5 yes, it does all very well.
Hello, i love your content, but can you do more marshall MG videos, like MG15GFX, MG30GFX up to 100? i know its propably really hard to obtain multiple amps i just feel like people including me would like to see more marshall stuff
Hey man nice video. Can you please help me figure out what USB cord is needed? I’ve heard USB Mini, I’ve heard Digital, I’ve heard USB 2.0. I’ve basically tried every USB laying around my house and nothing seems to work. Maybe I’m just dumb, very plausible
I believe it is MINI USB on the amp end (not micro) then USB A on the computer end. Should work with USB 3 or 2 standards. I think USB 3 is backwards compatible 👍
I don't know if you can help with this. But when I plug in headphones into the amp I always hear a very loud static noise in the backround. Great video btw!
Hmm, unsure, could be a grounding issue, or could be that you can forensically hear the hum on the guitar with headphones on (there usually is some hum, but shouldn't be loads). Might be worth contacting Blackstar if it's there on different sets of headphones even without a guitar plugged in.
Hi I'm thinking of buying my first guitar/amp and I am between this blackstar, the vox vt20x and the mustang lt25 (maybe even the yamaha thr5). I was wondering which of these would you recommend. I'm interested into rock and indie music but I would like to be able to play any kind of music and have pretty good effects. Also I am probably going to use it a lot with headphones and want to be able to record in my pc without a mic. And the guitar I'm thinking is a Squier Contemporary Jaguar. I really would like to hear your suggestions and the other viewers' too
What is the name of that second song? It's driving me nuts. I heard something similar on old Supernatural vids. Winchester something.... ugh its killing me! EDIT: ITs the Edge of Breakup song you are doing. Wayward Winchester uses a similar song in some of his vids.
Try a different cable to check that it's not the cable? Also try plugging in your guitar to the amp and turning the volume on the guitar down all the way and see if it's still there. If it's not those two things then I'm not sure. If you can narrow it down to definitely being from the amp then maybe film it and e-mail Blackstar 👍
Hi, how are you?? your channel is excellent, congratulations, I am a fan of the sound of slash and marshall, I am considering buying this blackstar id core 20 or the vox vtx20, what do you think? with which I am closer to the marshall sound, thank you.
The crunch on the Blackstar is really nice, especially if you connect it to computer and adjust the sound further to your guitar. Not tried the Vox but the old Vox modelling stuff was excellent. You can't really go wrong with either 👍
Hello, I need help with the choice between Harley Benton HB-40MFX, Fender Champion 20 and this BlackStar ID Core 10 V3. Can you advise which is better to invest in? Thanks
If you just need cleans the Fender will do, not sure the Fenders have great distortion. Not played the Harley Benton. The Blackstar ID Core stuff is brilliant I would go for that if you want cleans and distortion 👍
Just got this recently, mine makes too much NOISE when I move upwards on the channel. Very irritating noise, what could be causing that? Thanks in advance
@@davidjeremiahb.salvacion1360 Depends what you want. The Orange gives that classic Orange sound whereas the Blackstar is kind of a jack of all trades, however nothing can do the Orange distortion sound apart from Orange 👍
It sounds good but the hissing when there's nothing being played is horrible. It's ignorable when playing at medium/high volume, but trying to play quietly or with headphones is just a torture
i plan to upgrade my amp, from my fender frontman 15G to this. good buy? any other suggestions? i play alot of metal and im looking for an amp with a good recording software
Blackstar better for an all in one package with very good FX and a massive array of good sounding amp models. 35RT is good if you want the Orange gain sound which you can't get out of the others 👍
Hey there. do I need di-box for more clean and less noise sound before the amp? The Blackstar Architect is a standalone app or a VST/AU that can be use in DAW? Last question, that sound came out from those 2 mics? Thank you.
All sounds are from the 2 mics apart from the DI out + cab rig sections. Blackstar Architect is it's own app. You can run it at the same time as your DAW (externally) or not at all if you want. Not 100% sure what your asking about the DI box. The amp has a built in noisegate (controlled in Architect) for the higher gain sounds so you don't need a noise gate in-between your guitar and amp. For recording the line out I went into the instrument ins on my interface 👍
I think you can although can’t be 100% sure on how it integrates with your system. There’s a section in the manual on live streaming and there are some videos of people using the usb out for recording as well 👍

Whoever is facing buzz noise problem just plug your amplifier directly to wall not to multi plug adapter.
Still thinking I should go with the Orange 35rt but this seems like a dope amp too...can't decide + #loveandHUNDREDS

this vs roland cube 20/40 gx, do you think it's better?
I've only used the older cube amps but the Blackstar is miles ahead from my experience 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos thanks!!! Also, how loud is it?
Can we connect phone with amp?
Can I play a bass guitar with this amp? Within destroying it.
I doubt it would kill the speaker unless you are running it full tilt all the time 👍
Is the blackstar id core 10 v3 better than the marshall mg10? I’m having trouble which one to get lol Great video btw!
Blackstar is way more versatile. The Marshall really only has 2 sounds (although they are great sounds) 👍
Can I use this Live Stream stuff on discord
There will be a way. Either line out into your interface, or running the amp as a soundcard 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos Can we use this amp as a sound card? can we do all the things that sound cards can do
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos can we use plugins and hear the guitar sound with effects with headphones
I think you can although can’t be 100% sure on how it integrates with your system. There’s a section in the manual on live streaming and there are some videos of people using the usb out for recording as well 👍
1:59 whats that riffs name?
How does it compare to vox mini3 g2? Wdyt? Which one is better
Never played it, looks similar. I can't talk for the Vox but I really like all the Blackstar stuff 👍
У меня такой же. Крутой усилитель!) 🤟
can you record a guitar sound via usb thru amp?
Yeah, so you USB to the computer and then set the computers input + interface as the Blackstar amp 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos so am i gonna need audio interface or not anymore since i will be plugging the usb from amp to computer? appreciated your answer btw thanks
No interface needed, you can use the blackstar as the interface. It think there is a section in the manual about how it works 👍
