A Studio's Worth of Amps and Effects

Loaded with six inspiring amp voices

•  Clean Warm : A classic clean amp with ample dynamics

•  Clean Bright : A boutique-voiced amp that breaks up when pushed hard

•  Crunch : A rowdy amp that delivers classic medium-gain overdrive

•  Super Crunch : A muscular-sounding amp that yields more gain and punch than Crunch

•  OD 1 : A hot-rodded amp with plentiful overdrive

•  OD 2 : A juiced-up amp with raunchy mid-boosted overdrive

Packed with all the effects you'll need

•  Modulations : Phaser, Chorus/Flanger, Tremolo, and an Envelope Filter infuse your sound with tonal color

•  Delays : Linear, Analogue, Tape, and Multi delays offer everything from vintage to modern time-based effects

•  Reverbs : Hall, Spring, and Plate reverbs add immersive stereo dimension to your playing

Tube-modeled Tone, Rich Stereo Surround

Infinite Shape Feature dials your drive from American to British tone

The Blackstar ID:Core 20 V3 is packed with a massive spread of tones, by virtue of Blackstar's Infinite Shape Feature (ISF). When turned fully counterclockwise, you'll lend an American characteristic to your voice, with a tight bottom end and aggressive middle. Turned all the way to the right, you'll enjoy more of a British vibe, with a woodier sound that's less aggressive. However you dial in the ID:Core 20 V3 between the two, you'll enjoy a musical response that just asks to be taken onstage or into the studio.

Super Wide Stereo technology envelops you in immersive sound

Playing through the ID:Core 20 V3 is an immersive experience, on account of Blackstar's Super Wide Stereo technology. Not only do its 12 effects sound amazing in stereo, but plugging your mobile device into the ID:Core 20 V3's Line In/Streaming jack results in a multidimensional jam session that's a whole lot of fun.

Built for the Home, Stage, and Studio

Classic combo performance

With its function-per-knob control scheme and familiar combo roar, the ID:Core 20 V3 delivers big as a stage monitor or studio platform.

Tailor-made for recording
