The FLY 3 is an innovative, cutting edge 3 watt mini amp which combines two channels, tape delay and the Blackstar patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) to create the perfect compact and portable guitar amplifier. It's advantageously small and packs a punch with big TONE, even at the lowest volumes. The ISF allows you to infinitely change the sound of your FLY 3, which gives you endless possibilities on the tone of your amp. The FLY 3 also features tape delay effects, allowing you to make your amp output resonate during play. The FLY 3 also comes with an MP3/LINE IN jack built in, allowing you to connect to your MP3 player, mobile phone, laptop, tablet etc. and jam along to your favorite tracks; the Emulated Output jack can also be used with headphones. Capable of being battery powered, you can take the FLY 3 with you wherever you go as a set of portable speakers. Battery Powered The FLY 3 mini guitar amp can be battery powered or when bought as a stereo pack, it can use the included power supply. Tape Delay Effect The FLY 3 includes an awesome tape delay effect with a tape delay level control. A mini guitar amp hasn't ever sounded this good. MP3/Line Input Use your FLY 3 as an MP3 speaker or as a general speaker for your computer. Also use it to play along to backing tracks while practicing. Emulated Output/Headphones Record directly to your computer, or even run it through a PA. Use with headphones to practice when you need to keep quiet. Features Include: 3 Watt compact mini guitar amp 2 channels - Clean and Overdrive Patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) Digital 'tape' delay effect MP3/Line In for jamming along or listening to music Emulated Line Out for 'silent' practice. Review: Good enough to write a long review for a mini amp - Mini amps are fun for practice, but they all have "character"; aka defects and flaws. Cracking, crackling, thin and toy-like tones, battery guzzling, flimsy build etc etc. Things you generally justify for their price and size. This one has no "character", it's no nonsense. This is probably the most capable mini amp out there. This 3W-er has amazing headroom (for a little amp), big enough a speaker to not crackle and break up (in a bad way) at high volume. You can actually crank this one up, clean or dirty, and not cringe. The delay is a decent addition which can get reverb-y at low levels, personally don't use it since I use a pedal. And yes, this handles pedals really well. The overdrive sounds surprisingly usable for a mini amp, sensitive to your guitar's volume and tone knobs. The EQ is just a tone contour, but gives you two classic tones on either side apparently ("Brit" and "American" types, in simpler terms, something like sparkly and fat). I personally stick mostly to the balanced flat EQ at 12 o' clock. Don't understand what the patented tech is but it's as effective (or not, depending on your personal opinion about EQ) as a tone contour can be. Can't expect crazy versatile 3-band EQ for this price. Although the bells and whistles (aux in, headphone out, additional 3w speaker) are worth the premium over the other minis out there. The additional speaker is seriously double the fun, it doubles up the wattage to a loud and full 6W, and makes the amp a stereo laptop speaker. Ultimately, what sets this apart from the other minis is also the build quality. Not even remotely flimsy or rough around the edges like other minis I've used. Don't think twice if you want something portable*, capable, well built and... Well.. fun. *You'll need 6 AA batteries for real portability but I haven't tried how long it lasts though.

The fly 3 runs on 6volts /positive tip . When you buy the fly on amazon, the planet waves adaptor is suggested . My friend bought the fly to his son and pluged it on a 9 volts adapter...... he blew the amp . You may pay a little more but buy the right adapter, it works well and saves batteries **Q: Why is there what appears to be an Ethernet connector just above the power adapter plug?** A: Yes, for the extension cabinet, which expands this from 3w to 6w. The 3-pack is a good deal, because a) you get better volume but mainly because b) it includes the power supply, which means that c) the extension cabinet is virtually free. **Q: does it come with a cable** A: The package I received was the amp only. The instrument cable and power supply I had to purchase separately. My amp was in original packaging. **Q: are batteries included?** A: Ours came today (April 3) and did include batteries ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good enough to write a long review for a mini amp *by A***R on 4 September 2016* Mini amps are fun for practice, but they all have "character"; aka defects and flaws.

Good quality build.Great sound output. Ideal for home practice ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't go wrong with this little gem *by S***R on 30 May 2021* Great little amp. Sound quality is great even at full volume. Ideal for smaller settings and for practice. It is powered by 6 AA batteries which last surprisingly long. Some sellers include an AC adaptor which is an added bonus. I am not a great fan of the finish on the plastic body but this is an unimportant detail. A matte finish would be greatly appreciated. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blackstar Fly 3-3-watt 1x3 inch Compact Mini Guitar Amplifier w/ 2 Channels and Patented ISF - Black - Blackstar Power Supply AC DC Adapter for Fly 3 Amplifier, Guitar Bluetooth & Acoustic - New bee Guitar Cable 10ft Electric Instrument Bass AMP Cord for Electric Mandolin, Pro Audio (Right Angle to Straight, Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/79230108-blackstar-fly-3-mini-guitar-amplifier-black](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/79230108-blackstar-fly-3-mini-guitar-amplifier-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
