Description
So, you’re thinking of squeezing in a quick jam session, but you’re not keen on lugging around your big amp? Say hello to the Blackstar amPlug 2 FLY. It’s small, lightweight, and packed with features that make you wonder how they got it all in there.
For starters, it’s not just a one-trick pony. Guitarists get three cool channels: Clean for that neat, smooth sound; Crunch if you fancy a bit more edge; and Lead when you’re in the mood to turn things up a notch. And hey, bass players, Blackstar hasn’t forgotten about you. There’s Classic, Modern, and an Overdrive channel that’s just the right amount of punchy.
One of its nifty features is the ISF control. Think of it as your sound-shaping buddy. Want your sound a bit more American rock style? Turn it one way. Craving that classic British vibe? Twist it the other way. It’s like having two iconic amps in one.
Let’s chat about effects. It’s got nine built-in ones, from Chorus to Delay to Reverb. So, you can play around and give your tunes a bit more flavor without needing a separate pedalboard. And for the bassists out there, they’ve thrown in rhythm loops. You can jam along with drum beats, whether you’re into Funk or Blues. It’s like having a mini drummer right in your pocket.
One of the best bits? It reacts just like your big amp. So, when you play softly on those Crunch and Lead channels, the sound cleans up. Play harder, and it gives you that gritty oomph. And with Blackstar’s special touch, the ISF, you can tailor that sound just the way you like it.
Battery life is a dream. Two AAA batteries, and you’re jamming for up to 17 hours. And if you’re the forgetful type (like me), there’s an auto power-off feature. If it doesn’t hear any signal for 30 minutes, it’ll turn itself off and save your batteries.
All in all, the Blackstar amPlug 2 FLY is like that reliable mate who’s always up for a jam. It’s straightforward, versatile, and always delivers. Whether you’re chilling at home, waiting backstage, or on a trip, this little gadget is a must-have for any player on the go.
