Blackstar ID:15TVP 15-watt programmable guitar amplifier combo

General

This compact, 15-watt Blackstar guitar amp combo from the revolutionary ID series is perfect for use at home. It gives you the intuitive controls of a traditional amplifier, with the possibility to programme it. With the ID:15TVP you have six channels, each with a typical Blackstar voicing. Choose from Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD1 or OD2. In addition, there are twelve studio-grade effects built-in - four modulations, four delays and four reverbs. What really sets the ID series apart though, is the unique TVP amp-modelling technology.

Blackstar ID:15TVP: the sound and volume of real tubes

Thanks to Blackstar's patented 'True Valve Power' technology, this digital practice combo not only delivers the sound of a real tube amp, but the volume and punch as well. With the TVP knob you can choose between the characteristic sound and dynamic properties of six different tube types: the EL84, 6V6, EL34, KT66, 6L6 and the KT88. Combined with the renowned Black Star ISF tone control, you can create a wide range of guitar sounds, from classic British combos to modern American stacks. You can then add one, two or even three effects simultaneously to your sound and save them in one of 128 available memory slots. With the optional multi-functional foot switch, you can recall these easily at any time.

Handy extra functions

The Blackstar ID:15 TVP can be connected to a computer using the USB connector, which is situated next to the emulated out / headphone output. Sounds can then be easily edited using the included Blackstar GUI software and shared via the online community. Finally, this versatile combo is fitted with a mini jack MP3/line input for connecting devices like iPods, MP3 players or drum machines. This way you can easily jam along with your favourite music, backing tracks or rhythms.
