Many have tried to topple it, but Blackstar’s Fly 3 remains the original actually-sounds-very-good mini guitar amp - and now the British amp co has brought the format to acoustic guitar players.
The Fly 3 Acoustic aims to give a little extra volume or sound dispersion to otherwise unplugged players, or even act as a personal monitor.
A pair of switchable EQ shapes are onboard, offering a flat response or mid-cut with low and high boost, while there’s also a built-in echo effect.
Other features include line-in and emulated-out jacks, as well as the ability to run the amp on batteries or a power supply.
An extension cab, available separately, doubles the wattage and offers a wider stereo field.
The Fly 3 Acoustic is available now for £69 (US price TBC). See Blackstar Amps for more.
