DISCLAIMER
I was not paid for this video but Blackstar did provide me with the amplifier for making the video. This does not affect my opinion in any way.

In this video I’ll be taking a look at the brand new ID:CORE V3 amp from Blackstar. The version I use in this video is the 20w version, the ID:CORE 20, but this is also available in a 10w and 40w version too.

The ID:CORE amps have been around for a while but this is the v3 update which adds some great new features and makes these amps even better.

They sit in an entry level friendly pricepoint, but they certinaly out perform the pricepoint they sit in. Many times while making this video I forgot that I was even playing a small amp.

The super wide stereo sound that comes from the twin 5″ speakers really does spread around the room enough to convince you that you’re playing through a much bigger amp.

The amp has 6 onboard voices, 4 reverbs, 4 delays and 5 modulations as well as a tap tempo, built in tuner, USB interface, lineout for live streaming and line in for music playback. There are so many features jam packed into this little amp.

The amp also has 6 preset slots which can be accessed via Preset Mode. These can be edited on the new Blackstar Architect Software (Video on this coming soon!)

It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner with your first amp or a pro looking for an amp to jam in the hotel room or at home, this amp has it all.

The ISF feature makes each of the voices transform from scooped, sparkly American voiced tones to mid humped British tones and there is enough gain in the OD2 channel to satisfy even the hungriest of gain seekers.

In the video I am using my Jackson Adrian Smith SDX plugged straight into the amp which is mic’d with a Lewitt Audio LCT440.

  • 12:00 I just got the Idcore v3 10, but if I increase the gain on the "clean" tones it sounds like if it had overdrive, eg, If I use the same settings youre usign in here 12:00 in my amp that sounds like overdrive, It doesnt sound that clean :c

  • I own the original version ID Coe stereo 40 that I bought used for under $100 at my local Music-Go-Round.. and a year later got a Starcaster Strat electric guitar By: Fender (said it on the head stock) ..I bought the guitar to upgrade and mod it severely to my design.. it got a cool custom stars and planets paint job on body and head stock. sports a hand made custom extended brushed stainless steel pick guard which acts as the main ground through the control cases and shield, loaded with 3 quad rail/coil humbuckers ( average at 18k ohms each)each with vol. and tone pots including the output jack and a kill button just for fun, wired like a 50's Les Paul with coil splits and the bridge tone pot a P/P to activate the bridge and neck Pick ups together regardless of other controls. I retained the Fender 5-way blade switch. The bridge got upgraded with a full size solid brass trem block and roller saddles, the headstock is graces with a titanium nut roller string tree and locking tuners. with all the tones available in the guitar and those in the amp with it's built in effects I have nearly unlimited tone variations available. My guitar is named the "Stellarcaster" in keeping with the motif of the paint and it's starting name. from Fender. A truly out of this world guitar that looks good feels nice in the hand plays and sounds fantastic… and to think that this is in fact my very first ever guitar project.. I wanted a totally overboard build for the challenge and the resulting extreme instrument I can be proud of having built myself.. Wanna Play??. Oh yeah I floated the bridge and tuned it to E-Flat standard like any good Strat should be… Wanna Play???

  • Could anyone help with what settings I should use to achieve a John Mayer style tone on this amp? Cheers

  • So, I’m still new to all this and this is my amp…the reason you would still need to buy pedals that do the same effects as the amp does is so you could change effects mid-riff is that correct?

  • My amp is V3 id 10, it has a different factory crunch setting, hall and chorus, instead of hall and phaser. Paperwork says hall and phaser but also says patches might be different, they set with more gain also, od1 and 2 are set with full gain.

  • Your the only person ive seen talk about the tuner and how it works and ive been wondering why its listed as a feature on the amp and yet no one was mentioning it so thanks for that

  • ???????? CUIDADO com os amps da Blackstar! Tenho um id core 10 e durante o download do software Architect da própria marca meu amp "morreu" e não liga mais. Entrei em contato com a Blackstar mas NÃO RESOLVERAM NADA. Não estão nem aí com os clientes.

  • I know this is an older video but wow has it helped me out. I have watched it twice and learned so much on how to use the control. there are still a few things i need to learn about the different effect but I least I know have a better I did on what I need to learn to fully get the best use out of the amp. You did an outstanding job on explaining the effects. Thanks for taking the time on making this awesome video.
