  • I have an original version ID Core stereo 40 which I bought a few years ago at my local Music-Go-Round in order to upgrade and mod it in the extreme to my design specs and in all I put about $400 in the guitar including some tools to do the project. over all I have about $500 in the whole rig. My amp has most of the features that the V4 has less some of the newer ones. but still sounds great. If I want to go stealth mode with headphones where only I hear it aor if I want to really annoy my nosy neighbors I can just crank it up or if I really want it louder I can use an adaptor cable from the headphone out into the CD input of my surround sound receiver to get a deeper and more full tones from all the surround speakers including the powered subwoofer in the surround system. that really shakes the walls god… the guitar has a hand made custon extended brushed stainless steel pick guard loaded with 3 quad rail(quad coil) humbuckers wired like a 50's Les Paul with coil splitting. along with all the amp control;s and those in the guitar there are nearly unlimited tonal variations available. imagine the coil splits with a 5-way Fender blade switch and the bridge tone pot also a P/P to activate the bridge and neck P/O's together regardless of the 5-way position. so in Pos. 2, 3 and 4 I can have all 3 P/I's active together and when coi; split I can get close to single coil tones. in any combo I want. the wiring was quite the adventure but well worth the time and mental exercise it took to figure it out. It all works as designed and the space theme stars and planets paint scheme on the body and head stock are in lin with the new name I gave it. the "Stellarcaster" imagine the brushed stainless steel pick guard loaded with the 3 quad rails and the chrome Tele style knobs abd the chrome switch tip to match on the custom paint job. really cool looking and great playing guitar. played through a good small amp that is soon to be nodded with a pair of 1/4" switched extension speaker output jacks that will power a pair of 4X12" vertical/Tower speaker cabs that when stood together and the amp face down controls forward (internal speakers inactive when switched output jacks are in use) all together the cabs and amp make essentially a "Full Stack" ….. LOL so moch fun and O too cool as well…

  • I just bought it and can't wait to get it in the mail.

    These kinds of modeling amps are perfect because they have a headphone output that I can connect to my big JBL PartyBox 310.

    And an amp that is already excellent becomes absolutely incredible when connected to the right speaker system.

    When I feel like it and want to play with something light, I can unplug it and use the amp alone.

    And the Blackstar Architect software is really excellent—intuitive, well-designed where it needs to be, simple, and so on.

    I still keep a tube amp with a 2×12 cab for when I want to change things up and need a big, full sound, but I stick with modeling amps because there's no need for big amps nowadays.

    I even have the little Positive Grid Spark Go.

  • Why do people hate this amp?
    I cant figure out why (although I've never heard this amp in person) but people say the roland microcube is way better and this amp is really bad compared to it.

  • Bluetooth connectivity? I can't find anything about Bluetooth connectivity on the Blackstar website. Other images of the labels on these amps do not show the Bluetooth connection that appears on the labels in this video. Are there 2 versions of V4: with Bluetooth, and without Bluetooth?

  • I need to use a cable to connect to a computer to use the Architect software? No mobile phone app? No Bluetooth connection to the software?
