Blackstar FLY 3 BT Black Mini Combo

Blackstar FLY 3 Bluetooth Mini Amplifier — Big Tone in a Pocket-Sized Package

Built around 3 watts of authentic Blackstar sound, the FLY 3 Bluetooth brings wireless streaming and built-in effects to a format smaller than a lunchbox. This model combines a unique ISF tone control, digital tape delay, and dual channels into a battery-powered solution for practice that delivers surprisingly full-range sound for its size.

Patented ISF Circuit and Tape Delay in a Mini Format

Blackstar's Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) smoothly shifts between American-style tightness and British warmth — it's a curve adjustment, not just a simple tone knob. When paired with an independently adjustable digital tape delay, you get ambient textures that would usually require a pedalboard.

Dual Channels and Intuitive Tone Shaping

You can easily switch between clean and overdrive, opening up a range from clear cleans to rich gain, all with a minimal control layout that encourages experimentation.

• Channels: 2 (Clean and Overdrive) — transition from sparkling cleans to thick crunch via OD select
• ISF Control — this patented feature lets you sweep from tight American lows to warm British mids using just one knob, replacing a traditional tone stack
• Delay: Digital tape delay — independent Time and Level knobs allow anything from short slapbacks to extended ambient repeats

Bluetooth Streaming and Silent Practice Options

Acting as both an amplifier and a portable speaker for backing tracks, it creates a complete wireless practice setup.

• Bluetooth — stream wirelessly from your phone, tablet, or laptop and play along with your favorite tracks
• Headphone / Emulated Output: Combined jack with speaker simulation — practice in silence or record directly with cabinet-emulated sound
• Power: 6× AA batteries or DC adapter

Engineered Cabinet for Full-Range Sound

A sealed, tuned enclosure is designed by Blackstar to replicate the Young modulus of wood, so you keep bass response that small amps often lose. The full-range driver means there's no need for a crossover, ensuring the guitar's midrange frequencies remain clear.

• Speaker: 76 mm full-range driver — delivers broad frequency response without a subwoofer
• Weight: 0.9 kg — light enough for backpacking or travel
• Its compact dimensions (170 × 126 × 102 mm) mean it fits easily on any desk or nightstand.

Traveling Musicians, Apartment Players, and Beginners

Designed for guitarists seeking a portable amp with no tonal sacrifice. Those on the road can practice in hotels using battery power and stream tracks wirelessly. Apartment players value the headphone output for silent late-night sessions, while beginners appreciate the simple controls, with ISF and delay providing creative growth. With the optional FLY 103 extension, you can expand to a 6-watt stereo rig.

Blackstar Amplification and the ISF Patent

Blackstar's Infinite Shape Feature modifies the amp’s entire response curve, rather than just boosting or cutting frequencies. The FLY series brings this philosophy to the ultra-compact world, showing that professional tone engineering fits in your hand.
