Since 2007, Blackstar has led the way in the innovation of guitar amplification. ID:CORE represents the culmination of years of technical Research and Development. These amps have an intuitive control set like a traditional amp, but have the versatility of programmability. The unique controls allow you, the guitarist, to custom design your own sound.

The Voice control has six different settings – Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD 1, OD 2. When used together with Blackstar’s patented ISF, ID:CORE V4 amplifiers allow unparalleled flexibility and ease of use, enabling you to design the sound in your head and deliver it at home, in the studio or in rehearsal.

The effects section delivers studio quality Super Wide Stereo modulation, delay and reverb effects simultaneously that you can store with your sound.

Deep editing and storing of patches is simple using the Blackstar Architect software. Patches can be shared, uploaded and downloaded via the online community. By connecting a USB-C cable, you can simultaneously send both direct and processed audio to a computer for recording purposes.

Blackstar’s Architect software also includes its CabRig™ Lite platform, which is a next-generation advanced speaker simulator that reproduces the sound and feel of guitar speaker cabs in incredible detail.

The LINE IN / STREAMING input allows you to connect your ID:CORE V4 to a music device such as a mobile phone or drum machine to play along with. You can also use a suitable TRRS 3.5mm cable for easy input / output Live Streaming with a compatible device.

ID:CORE V4 now has power reduction down to 1W, allowing you to play at lower volumes without sacrificing tonal quality.
