I’ve never been a big fan of Blackstar amplifiers. Not because they’re bad, but because they don’t offer anything particularly unique. I find that’s the problem with many tube amplifiers; they all sound almost the same when you use the same speakers. It’s the speaker that makes the most significant difference in sound; otherwise, the amps sound more or less the same. However, what really impresses me about Blackstar is their modeling amplifiers. Especially the Silver Line series, which is just incredible. It sounds amazing whether I connect it to my Orange 2x12 cab or my JBL Partybox 310. I’m really looking forward to them updating this range. In the meantime, I bought the latest ID:Core 40 V4. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m sure it’s going to be fantastic with my JBL. Modeling really is the future. As long as you have good speakers, it sounds just as good, if not better, than a tube amp, all for a much lower price, much easier to transport, and with settings that can be adjusted via computer much more easily.
Sounds great. I have the combo version. I have a question. How come on this demo these guitarist never really played guitar.
