Blackstar IDX:100 100w 1 x 12 Digital Combo Amp
The Blackstar ID:X 100 isn’t just another digital combo amp—it’s a feature-packed tone chameleon with enough firepower and finesse to suit gigging guitarists, studio heads, and tone tweakers alike. Boasting a mighty 100 watts of selectable power and a custom-voiced 12” Blackstar ANTHEM speaker, this amp brings the feel of a big rig with the flexibility of a modern modeller—all in a portable, stage-ready combo.
Whether you're going for pristine cleans, heavy chugs, or soaring lead tones, the ID:X 100 offers six distinct amp voices that cover the tonal spectrum: Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD1, and OD2. Each voice is responsive, dynamic, and unmistakably Blackstar, enhanced by their proprietary True Valve Power™ technology, which lets you choose between virtual EL84, EL34, and 6L6 valve responses. It’s like having three classic amp backlines packed into one box.
Sculpt your tone further with a 4-band EQ including Blackstar’s patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF), which shifts the entire EQ contour between classic British growl and American sparkle at the twist of a knob. Add in over 35 studio-grade effects—including modulation, delay, and lush reverbs—editable directly on the amp via a crystal-clear OLED display, and you’ve got instant access to a personalised sonic universe.
When it comes to live or studio versatility, the ID:X 100 truly shines. It features CabRig, Blackstar’s advanced speaker simulation system, offering detailed control over mic placement, cab type, and room ambiance—accessible via balanced XLR out, USB-C, or ¼” line out. It's a godsend for direct recording, silent stages, or consistent FOH sound without needing mic’d cabinets.
For the tech-savvy player, there’s full MIDI support, an effects loop, foot controller compatibility (FS-12 / FS-18), and Architect software integration for deep patch editing and preset management. All this wrapped into a sleek, durable chassis built to take the knocks of the road.
From the practice room to the main stage, the Blackstar ID:X 100 gives you the feel of a valve amp with all the flexibility of modern digital design. For those who demand tone without compromise, this amp doesn’t just keep up—it leads the charge.
