General

The Blackstar ID:Core has evolved again! This popular stereo guitar amplifier has reached its fourth incarnation and is still as perfect as ever for both beginners and experienced guitarists in need of a high-quality practice tool. The ID:Core V4 comes loaded with six different voicings ranging from pure cleans to fat high-gains, and in true Blackstar-signature-style, every sound can be nudged towards British-style or American-style thanks to the unique-and-patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF).

The ID:Core V4: All You Need

In addition to two full-range speakers that support Super Wide Stereo sound, the Blackstar ID:Core V4 features built-in modulation, reverb and delay effects, the latter of which even comes with a tap tempo function. You also get six preset slots for storing your favourite setting combos, a built-in attenuator so you can drop the output to just 1 Watt, and a headphone output for more private practice sessions. Effects and functions aside, the linear speakers mounted inside the cabinet of this multifunctional combo can even serve as your personal stereo, whether it's for casual listening, watching movies or even gaming.

Live-Streaming and Recording

Thinking of modern guitarists, Blackstar have outfitted the fourth-gen ID:Core with various welcome upgrades, including the option to stream directly to platforms like Instagram via your phone and a TRRS cable. The ID:Core V4 10 also doubles as a USB audio interface and is equipped with Cab Rig Lite DSP speaker simulation technology to guarantee authentic sound. Lastly, this amp supports the free Architect-software for Windows/Mac so you can adjust the sound in detail and share patches with friends and fellow guitarists.

Blackstar ID:Core 40 V4 Stereo Combo Guitar Amplifier

Wrote the following about Blackstar ID:Core 40 V4 Stereo Combo Guitar Amplifier
Goed, alleen een goede handleiding ontbreekt, ook op YouTube. De versterker an sich is beter dan m’n vorige, een Fender. Verder heb ik de software van Blackstar Architect nog niet onder controle.
