Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Blackstar FLY Series amplifier.
The FLY 3 is an innovative mini amp which packs all the great tones of Blackstar products into one compact, portable amplifier – perfect for practice when on the go; the FLY 3 also includes the Blackstar-exclusive ISF circuit, which gives you infinite possibilities for changing the tone of your amp. You can plug in your phone, MP3 player, laptop or tablet into the FLY 3 and jam along to your favourite songs.
The FLY 103 is a mini cabinet which, when connected to the FLY 3, creates a stereo sound for your guitar playing and music; a perfect combination for creating big sound and great tone whilst jamming, it also gives great output when used with other devices via the MP3 / LINE IN socket.
