Compact guitar combo amp with Bluetooth in limited Helloween design
With the Blackstar Fly 3 Bluetooth Helloween, Blackstar presents the next generation of the popular combo amp in the limited design of the Hamburg power metallers, which is not only suitable for the official amplification of electric guitar, but also excellent for the output of music via smartphone or tablet. As an electric guitar amplifier, the compact 3 watt combo convinces with its surprisingly grown-up sound, which invites to inspired practicing thanks to switchable overdrive and delay. In addition, the amplifier offers the Blackstar Infinite Shape feature, with which the sound character can be adjusted between British mid-bite and American scoop. Thanks to the Bluetooth interface, the Blackstar Fly 3 Bluetooth Helloween easily makes contact with smartphones, tables or laptops and then acts as an external speaker with undistorted playback. furthermore, the combo amp offers a headphone jack and a line input in mini-jack format.

This is a superb little amp which sounds way better than its size and price suggest. Everything feels solid and the range of tone and drive you can get out of this thing is astonishing. From clean jazzy tones, to crunch, to cranked overdrive, this seems to cope well across the board. I was a little worried that there wasn't any tone control, but that weird UK/US tone control is surprising useful, and with that and the coil tapping on the guitar I've not had any problems getting the kind of tone I was going for. Very impressed.
