Blackstar Fly3 Vintage - 3w Combo Mini Amp

The Blackstar Fly 3 Vintage – a pocket-sized powerhouse with serious retro charm and more tonal character than it has any right to at this size! Don’t be fooled by its compact footprint and old-school cosmetics—this is a fully-featured 3-watt combo amp designed to deliver rich, articulate tone whether you're jamming at home, busking on the go, or plugging in for a quiet night of songwriting. Dressed in warm cream and oxblood, it nods nostalgically to vintage amps of yesteryear while packing the punchy modern features that Blackstar has become known for.

Despite its size, this little box is no toy. Inside you’ll find Blackstar’s famed Infinite Shape Feature (ISF), which lets you sweep seamlessly between classic American and British tones. Craving something sparkly and bright? Or perhaps a bit more gritty and mid-heavy? It’s all right there at your fingertips. It also boasts a tape delay effect that adds a surprisingly lush ambience, making it feel much bigger than 3 watts would suggest. And with both a clean and overdrive channel, it handles everything from glassy cleans to full-throttle grit.

What really makes it shine, though, is its versatility. It’s battery powered (or can run off mains), making it ideal for travel, practice sessions on the go, or those moments of inspiration that strike when you're far from your full rig. You can also hook up your phone, laptop or other audio source via the MP3/Line In and play along with backing tracks—or simply use it as a stylish little speaker. The emulated headphone output ensures late-night noodling won’t wake the neighbours, while still delivering tone that feels full and responsive.

Whether you’re a seasoned player after a grab-and-go practice companion or a beginner wanting quality tone without taking up the whole living room, the Fly 3 Vintage is a soulful, stylish solution. And yes—Musicmaker proudly stocks this wee beauty, offering trusted advice and support from musicians who know tone inside and out.
