First Look at Blackstar FLY Acoustic Guitar Amplifier

We got our hands on the ‘Just Announced’ new Blackstar FLY Acoustic Guitar Amplifier and our good friend Duncan treats us to a performance that showcases its natural sound reproduction.

The two switchable EQ shapes give you either a flat response or a mid-cut with some low and high boost and come with a  built-in echo effect to add that natural ambience. According to Blackstar, the amplifier is capable of up to 55 hours of battery life under normal conditions and is expandable as shown in our video to a 6 Watt stereo set-up with the optional FLY Acoustic 103 extension cabinet.
