You are such an inspiration with your playing and the gear you review. Not so good on my wallet, but that’s on me….haha Truly appreciate the work you do and time spent to produce quality content. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I bought the 40 watt version and LOVE it. I run backing tracks through mine off YT and have tons of fun with it. The whole british vs american voice is BS, its just a tone knob, but the effects are glorious and lush. I got mine for around $230. new. p.s. you can run it off many different battery packs you dont need the blackstar branded one to run it.
@@Thomasabraser not really. im using an Omnicharge but they are pretty expensive, as long as what you get has the power requirements you should be fine
@@Thomasabraser look at the power requirements to run the amp, should be printed in the manual or on the back of the unit...then make sure you get a power supply that has enough power to run the amp.
I own the first version ID Core stereo 40 that has 6.5 in 4 Ohm speakers that sounds great and is pretty loud by itself but ZI can get even louder when i use the adaptor cable from the 1/8" stereo headphone out jack to 2 RCA'a into the CD input of my surround sound receiver. The surround speakers including the powered Subwoofer give me a full deep and very loud tone. The "Starcaster" Strat" electric guitar By: Fender (said that on the headstock) that I rebuilt and severely modded has a hand made extended brushed stainless steel pick guard loaded with 3 quad rail (and quad coil) humbuckers that when split are still essentially humbuckers wired like a 50's Les Paul with coil splits through the 3 500K ohm P/P volume pots and the 3 500K tone potd all audio taper . the bridge tone P/P to activate the bridge and neck Pick ups together regardless of the 5-way selector switch position. how many tonal variations there really I have not counted. but thats not relevant when you add all the controls in the amp. the paint job on the body and head stock is a custom space theme stars and planets Scheme done with spray cans and airbrushed details. It Looks really cool with the stainless pick guard and chrome knobs. other upgrades include the replaced . pot metal trem block with a full size solid brass trem block and roller saddles, roller string trees locking tuners and a titanium nut. that gives a brighter tone along with the coil splits for as close to single coil sounds as you might get from quad rail humbuckers as you can. the active coils when split are toward the bridge for a little brighter tones over all. the way it's wired gives it a slightly brighter tone as well with the .047 orange drop tone caps and the 50's style Les Paul Wiring scheme. It now weighs a little more than it did at first with the added controls. but then It was under 7 lbs to start. now just a bit above that. and the strap locks keep it where I put it. I very cool looking and great playing and very unique guitar. and believe it or not, this is my very first ever guitsr buils/mod project. I went all out to test myself and because I wanted it the way I wanted it... the next project will be a 50's style "Esquire" Y-style with oroginal style wiring. Dylan Of "Dylan talks tone" randomly gave away a Tele bridge Pick up the he made along with another pick up maker ..each of then used the same parts and winder as an experiment to see what , if any waoud be the differences and they did sound slightly different.. now that Tele Bridge Pick up is just waiting for a guitsar to go into. I intend to 'litterally' build my guitsr collection by hand myself to save money and have exactly what I want. Iwill eventually have various guitars in different versions. ... like a Les Paul Jr. double cut with P-90(S) and Humbucker(S) SG same variants. plus many more in the future as i get each done the rest will come along sometime too. With all the extra controls and electronics and wiring in the Strat, I only have about $450 total in it including the guitar purchase and some tools I needed for the project. from "Harbor Freight". and the parts from "Amazon" mostly. Yup I try to keep it as low budget as I can get. as a retired mechanic, I have most of the right tools for the job and skills in wood working as well from years working with my stepdad at general home maint. and repair. so I have the skills just not the practice at first but now I have learned why guitars cost what they do from the guitar companies. zIf I had ordered it from the Fender Custom Shop. the price would have been mote than 10 times what I have in it having done it all myself. Such a bargain in my opinion. hundreds init instead of thousands they would charge. and th wiring alone was quite the adventure all by itself. special tricke i desogned into it are dofferent to say the least.
it cracks me up when folks shake the neck of the guitar like it changes the sound lol I imagine folks do that because they get used to doing it on stage to look cool or something.
The ID Core series really are the best sounding budget practice amps.
Amazing demo Sasha! :) It sounds full. 🔊

Do you have a recommendation for a battery pack? I had the same idea but couldn't really figure out which one to buy.
@@Thomasabraser not really. im using an Omnicharge but they are pretty expensive, as long as what you get has the power requirements you should be fine
Thank you. Still confused :D

I think i heard if you hold down one of the buttons the Volume, Gain and ISF become the bass, middle and treble ?
Dude! I'm trying to sell a Frontman, you're killing me!
What should i get? Boss katana mk2 50 or this Blackstar? katana has a 12" speaker for bigger sound and this one has stereo... im really confused.
If it's not too late, somehow the I.D Core's 2 6.5 speakers sound way bigger than the 12 inch speaker of a Katana.
ik heb de fly 3 , klein maar fijn : )
Is te gek!
Have you tried SPARK AMP ? 😅
I haven’t yet!

Dude...are you good?
This whole comment seems like you're trying to show off your music system and other gear. Good for you.
Sounds like a million dollars
it cracks me up when folks shake the neck of the guitar like it changes the sound lol
I imagine folks do that because they get used to doing it on stage to look cool or something.
Try it, it’ll help you get laid some day
No, it legit makes a subtle difference, Paul David showed it in a video once.
