Great little amp the accessories are super hard to buy Fyi....
The amp makes any Acoustic Guitar sound great. It's much louder than I ever expected. The DI out to the board sounds really good as well.Ok the Bad.....Nobody carries the accessories for this amp. Amazon doesn't carry them. I had to buy the battery from an English website it took forever and when it arrived it didn't have a U.S. plug. Fyi Gear 4 Music sucks!The footswitch I had to special ordered from Blackstar thru Sweetwater it took a month to get. The speaker stand adapter is the only part you can buy easily from sweetwater.Ok so if we are rating just this amp 1 thru 10. I would say for how tiny it is, and how good it sounds it's a solid 8. The good.... it's small it's loud enough for a very small gig. I wouldn't sing thru it sounds ok. The effects are good, you def have to DI out to a board to get any volume with a full band but using it as a stage monitor it's just loud enough. The connectabilty to your phone seems a bit silly to me but I don't perform on the street so maybe someone else can speak to that. Headphones sound good as well but it's an acoustic amp why would you use headphones? Idk on that. Ok that's all I got. Maybe for $250 with tax maybe a slightly bigger amp would be nice. Idk I do like the portability for rehearsals. Oh also the battery with the amp lasts 10 plus hours. That was a huge surprise!

Oh Heck ya
Wooo wee, this sucker kicks azz. Creating great tones and it pushes out the sound. Wireless guitar and phone ports work great. Has pedal port too but don’t need it. It’s packed with loads of capability and the software will let you preset your specs for different songs. I got it when it was $225. Excellent purchase!

It's hard not to love this amp
The media could not be loaded. After playing and tinkering with the knobs on this amp, it becomes apparent just how versatile, innovative, and outstanding this amplifier is. At the price of $200 + tax, and the $80 to buy the POWERBANK in order to take it Busking, you get one steal of a deal for such a clean sounding amp. the effects aren't horrible, the eq sweeps are very reasonable and the knobs turn great. I love the line out feature on this amp but most of all, the streaming port. I own a pair of Astro A10 Gaming headphones that come with a TRRS cable and that worked very well. No more awful sound quality from my phone microphone. now it sounds like it's been recording in a professional studio. all I had to do was turn the volume down on my cable and boom. clean and dynamic tones for hours. Just because the name says acoustic doesn't mean it can't be used for other guitars. For example I used my strat and it sounds fantastic. I can't wait to plug in my Guild Starfire I SC and see what kind of sounds I can get. Seriously, if you want a great sounding amp at an affordable price tag with loads of features for portability and professional quality audio, look no more for you've found the jackpot of clean amps for the best price.

Very good
Really good, only problem is that it makes random loud noises/ buzzing sounds. It also disconnects from my laptop every now and then

Great Amp
Item is as advertised. Watched many videos on the product and I’m happy. This amp sounds great. It would be nice if it came with a foot switch, I’ll have to get one.

40 watt Blackstar id:core storage amplifier
As a replacement for my 10 watt id:core stereo amplifier, with it set on 40 watt mode, it’s loud enough to hold its own around an acoustic drum set for band practice or mic’ed or direct out into the P A for gigs, yet on 1 watt quiet enough to practice at home with. Very versatile little amp. The software modeling ability allows almost infinite sound possibilities.

Try it
Didn’t work out for me, but I live the concept.
