Blackstar FLY 3 Bluetooth Mini Amp BK User manual

Brand: Blackstar

Model: FLY 3 Bluetooth Mini Amp BK

Type: User manual

Blackstar FLY 3 Bluetooth Mini Amp BK is a compact mini amp with big sound. Combining two channels, the patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF), a tape delay and Bluetooth connectivity, it's the perfect take-anywhere amp. Connect your guitar and use the Gain control to adjust the amount of overdrive or distortion, from a clean sound to a full crunch tone. The patented ISF control allows you to choose the exact tonal signature you prefer, from a tight American bottom end to a woody British sound. Add some delay with the Delay Level and Time controls for a lush, spacious sound. With Bluetooth connectivity, you can wirelessly stream your favourite music and backing tracks to jam along with. The MP3/Line In jack allows you to connect your phone, MP3 player, laptop or tablet to play music through the amp.
