Features
In the five years since its launch, )lackstar has led the way in the innovation of guitar
amplification. The ID!:eries represents the culmination of more than seven years’
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, store it and then have
the confidence that the amp will perform in a live environment.
)lackstar’s patent-applied-for True =alve Power offers six distinctly different power
valve responses ¶ E384, 6=6, E334, KT66, 636, KT88. When engaged it delivers the
response, dynamics, sag and break up characteristics of a valve amp and uniquely
delivers the same acoustic power output as an equivalent valve power amp. This
means these amps deliver live without compromise ¶ True =alve Power means
36UD as valve
TM
.
The =oice control has six different settings ¶ Clean Warm, Clean )right, Crunch,
:uper Crunch, 6D 1, 6D 2. When used together with )lackstar’s patented I:F
control you can get the exact tone you’re thinking of.
The effects section delivers studio quality modulation, delay and reverb effects
simultaneously that you can store with your sound.
Deep editing and storing of patches is simple using the )lackstar Insider software.
Patches can be shared, uploaded and downloaded via the online community. The
U:) connector also allows you to record from your amp directly to your computer.
An emulated output, MP3/line input and MIDI footswitching complete the package.
)y using the unique =oice control, the patented I:F and patent-applied-for True
=alve Power, ID amplifiers allow unparalleled flexibility and ease of use, enabling you
to, in effect, design the sound in your head and deliver it live as 36UD as valve
