Description

At Blackstar, we are all musicians and understand the importance of great tone, whether for practicing at home or on stage. Based in Northampton, England, with over 100 years combined experience in guitar amplification design and production, we are totally committed to providing you with the ultimate tools for self-expression. We believe our unique and patented innovations will take you a step closer to realising the ‘sound in your head’. "WELCOME TO THE CHURCH OF DISTORTION." - GUS G. Ozzy Osbourne/Firewind POLAR is THE audio interface that is specially designed to enhance your guitar DI signal in a way that brings back the coveted feel and response of playing through a real valve guitar amplifier. POLAR is equipped with FET instrument inputs, providing ultra-low noise and high headroom for the best sonic foundation for your guitar tone. “Enhance” restores the touch, feel, and response of playing through a real amp. We innovate in all we do to give musicians the ultimate tools for self-expression. In 2004, four friends, all bandmates, were looking for a new challenge. Having worked together for years at the highest levels of the amp designing industry, their dream was to create new and innovative guitar amplifiers and pedals that would be the ultimate tools for self expression. Meticulously engineered at Blackstar HQ in Northampton England, our products are the result of the team’s 50+ years of collective experience at the highest levels of amplifier design and production. The amPlug2 FLY Guitar has three channels – Clean, Crunch and Lead with tone shaping using Blackstar’s patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control to give you all the sounds you need. 3 Channels in one unit Patented ISF control Blackstar’s patented ISF control allows you to choose the exact tonal signature you prefer. At the lowest setting, the amplifier has a more American characteristic with a tight bottom-end and more aggressive middle, and at the higher setting the amplifier has a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive. Nine built-in effects Nine selectable effects can be selected for any channel playing 3x Chorus, 3x Delay and 3x Reverb. No need to worry about your batteries, after 30 minutes of no signal the unit automatically turns off. The crunch and lead channels of the amPlug 2 FLY Guitar are designed to clean up with your instrument's volume, mimicking a real amp, offering rich tonal textures and an addictive playing experience. Choose from the selection of 9 built-in effects in amPlug 2 FLY Guitar. Three reverbs, delays and chorus effects.

  • Really good practice amps for under US$50!
Size: AP2FLYGTR
I own this Blackstar Amplug2, plus three of the Vox models. Since most of the features are the same as Vox's, I've simply cut-and-pasted my review of the three Vox's below. As mentioned briefly in the review below, the Blackstar is most similar to the Vox "Classic Rock". If you're looking for differences with the Vox CR, it's mainly a matter of the gain/distortion, as playing clean is largely the same. Even though I joke in the review below about the 70's and 90's decades as being the same, it's probably the subtle differences in those decades' sounds that separate the Blackstar and the Vox CR. The Vox CR emulates the 70's hard rock sound, while this Blackstar takes the 70's hard rock sound and adds that 90's emphasis on the heavier low-end. Not Nu Metal 90's (this is not really a metal amp, like the Vox Metal), but more like Soundgarden 90's. Some of the reviews are a bit misleading -- placing a value judgement on the type of distortion? Buying an amp that is specific to hard rock, and then complaining that it doesn't sound like an amp built specifically for blues? Distortion preference is just that -- a preference, and not qualitative. Also, the effects may be digital, but the actual amp channels and gain features are analog circuits, according to Vox's own website (and the Blackstar/Vox are the same product). Regarding the Amplug2's in general, this is my review of the Vox models I own, much of which applies to the Blackstar: I bought the "Clean", "AC30", and "Classic Rock" versions (I also own the Blackstar version of the amplug2, which isn't as well known, but just as good). All versions are really good for their size and price point. The effects are the same for each model and surprisingly decent (chorus, delay, reverb). Note that you can only do one of the three effects at a time, although you can combine one of the effects with gain/distortion. The AC30 has one additional effect -- tremolo -- which is actually enabled by switching channels (not the effects button), so you can simultaneously do tremolo and one of the other three effects and gain/distortion. Each of the three effects has three strength levels -- some online videos/blogs mistaking state that the effects are simply on/off (they clearly didn't read the instructions) when in fact they each have three strength levels. The AC30's tremolo has two levels (or three, if you count "off" as a level), which again is controlled by switching channels. In terms of individual models, the "Clean" model does what it says, so not a whole lot to say. The green channel is pure clean, the orange channel is a bluesier/jazzier twin amp sound, and the red channel can give you some dirty blues tones with the gain maxed-out. The "Classic Rock" model competently does three channels of various 70's-style overdrive (or I suppose 90's-style too, since grunge was similar to the 70's -- so you get two decades for the price of one!). The AC30 is a version of the original 60's British invasion sound, although I've never owned a full AC30 to say how accurate it is -- but I definitely like the sound with the gain maxed-out. You can also get some surprisingly beautiful tones out of the AC30 using the orange tremolo channel with no gain, and with the chorus effect setting on low. I bought the AC30 for the overdrive sound, but did not expect getting such other beautiful tones out of something for $40! One thing I will stress is that headphone type matters a lot. Use the wrong headphones (in-ear or on-ear), and these things are simply toys. Use the correct headphones (over-the-ear, and preferably "closed"), and they are surprisingly good little practice amps. For guitar practicing, I use 80-Ohm Beyerdynamic DT770 PROs, which I highly recommend. As a side note, I'd also recommend a one-time investment in a AAA-battery charger, to save in the long run. Another tip regarding hum, which I've seen others mention -- I also have a low hum on the Clean & Classic Rock models when using the higher-gain red channel (but not the other channels), although this is always with the guitar volume pot at 100% w/treble bleed. The AC30's red channel is not higher gain, so it does not have this issue. In any case, I found that simply rolling down the guitar volume pot a little (like 10% or whatever is required to squelch your treble bleed) eliminates the hum. In any case, it's really only a factor when playing clean, and treble bleed is usually only desired with distortion anyway. If you have separate pickup volume pots like me -- rather than rolling down the master volume, I simply roll down the neck pickup volume 10% or so (since I mostly use that pickup when playing clean), and keep the bridge pickup volume at 100% w/treble bleed, which I mostly use with high gain anyway. Plus, you can't hear the hum when playing anyway, so not that big of a deal. At the end of the day, it's a practice amp, not a performance amp -- but a darn good practice amp for the money! ... show more

  • Works As Intended
Size: AP2FLYGTR
This review is for the Blackstar Amplug 2 Fly Guitar headphone amplifier. As the headline says, the device works as intended. And quite well I might add! If you';ve used any of the Vox Amplug models, you'll be quite familiar with the Blackstar line (there is also a bass model). The "TL/DR" review is immediately below followed by a more detailed review for those who don't mind a bit of reading. Overall: 4/5 +Great sounding headphone amp +3 distinct channels +Compact and portable +Decent battery life (2 x AAA; included) +Effects ‘work’ +Aux-In for jamming along to your favorite tunes -Build quality could be better -Only one effect engaged at a time +/- Price Bottom Line: Great tool for those who travel or like to practice while they walk around the house doing parental type things (guilty as charged). Value: 3/5 Ranging from $41-50 for the Amplug devices, you can find cheaper alternatives which is why I went for a 3 out of 5. I have the Ammoon PockRock waiting in line for testing and review. The Pockrock, on paper, does more for less. But we will see how it sounds. While ~$50 for the Blackstar Fly won't break the bank, I do feel a more solid build would totally benefit these products and should be updated while keeping the price point the same. Sound: 4/5 The 3 distinct channels sound great. I don't view myself as a tone snob, but I also don't sacrifice in that department. I can get clear clean tones, a nice warm jazz tone (out of my semi-hollow), and flesh-tearing riffs through my 7-string guitar. I've even tried my 5-string bass guitars through it and it sounds quite good! While you aren't getting studio quality sounds and effects, if you want to be mobile and practice it surpassed my expectations. Features: 3/5 As mentioned: 3 distinct channels [Clean (low gain), Crunch (midrange gain), and Lead (high gain)]. Each channel is shaped by the "ISF" tone dial which acts as a sort of mid EQ sweep. On paper, the ISF will produce more British sounding amps (1) to the more American sound (10). You also have a Gain dial and Volume dial. Effects provided are Chorus, Delay, and Reverb and each come with 3 variations for a total of 9 effects. These are engaged initially by the “FX” button at the ‘top’ of the unit. Single presses will cycle through the Chorus/Delay/Reverb… holding this button and pressing the Power button will cycle through the variation of the selected effect. The effects work and get the basics going but I wish you could activate more than one effect at a time. The good news here is, if you like Chorus 1, Delay 3, and Reverb 2, those are recalled when you switch through using the FX button. Also, we have an Aux-In to plug in a portable mp3 player/phone so you can jam/practice to your favorite tunes. The 3.5mm headphone jack can be routed to speakers/stereo, not just headphones. A bit of background as to why I purchased this device? I've been playing guitar as a hobbyist for nearly 30 years and recently my main rig has been going out. I was looking for something that would allow me to practice while at the same time perhaps be mobile... an added bonus is not disturbing the wife, three kids, and various animals in the house. After a bit of research I stumbled on the Vox Amplug devices and browsed the various models, reviews and decided on the Blackstar Fly. I added it to my Secret Santa list and what do you know? I received it! (It was the only thing on my Secret Santa list on purpose). So with a couple of months of use on it, I can honestly say I am pleased with the sound and the features of the device. I was a bit skeptical at first, as many reviews lamented about the quality of the Amplugs and how easily they can break. While I do 100% agree the Amplugs feel cheap and could break, if you are careful and take appropriate measures, it should last you and serve its purpose. ... show more

  • Powerful like a box of matches
Size: AP2FLYGTR
I'm currently in a situation where I don't have access to a guitar amp, and needed something portable and quiet, and this fit the bill. I've been using it daily for about 3 weeks now and it's been incredible. The gain sounds great. The volume is plenty loud for my studio headphones, (I usually have it set on 3/10). The ISF feature I don't notice a whole lot of difference but I don't use it much. The chorus isn't bad but it's a little too wet fir my test. But the delay and reverb are phenomenal. Battery still hasn't died with 3 weeks of regular use, would 10/10 recommend. Good job blackstar!! ... show more
