Bass knob = Resonance.
Treble knob = Presence.

If you hold the Tap Tempo button, it accesses the secondary use of the knob.

I don't know if you guys go back and read the comments from the old videos.
There's got to be thousands.
But I love that I can go back and find these old videos to view and totally enjoy them.
You guys are definitely my favorite gear Channel and even when I'm not interested in the gear that you guys are talking about it's still really entertaining.
I just love this channel.

[jontnoneya]

That intro was beautiful! I just want to hear more songs like that. OMG guys. Well done!

[keithfields]

I still have a TVP series. I think I would keep this amp over any other in my arsenal. Great, diverse, ease of use, seems a complete package. Black Star is an excellent amp in any flavor. Met Ed Hohay, and he signed it at a local music store seminar. The thing I took away from his presentation is that they are really involved in what their customers are concerned and interested in, engaged I guess would be a better description. I’m sold on everything Black Star.

New set looks awesome ! And as always, great demo, great playing and lovely people :D

[rauchbdr]

These have always been great and so easy to dial in great tones. I wrote Blackstar a while back and said they should put the ID Core amp tech into a pedal.

[burtsgurt]

Pete had some damn good playing in that intro!

[LoveyDovey_]

I bought the Stereo 40 V4 on Monday. Loving it!

[mmiller]

Diggin the new studio set up. As always, keep these informative vids coming because you all keep me inspired to keep picking up a guitar and playing around. In addition, you always keep me wanting to try out new gear that you test.

[stevieburrows]

Just watched the Video, , I had previously owned the original 20 watt version then I moved on to the 40 watt V2 and after watching your video I plugged my little amp into my MacBook pro after downloading the Architect software and it has just opened up the sounds I want from this little belter.If you can go for the 40 watt version and download that software to adjust the amp to your sounds in your head.The presets loaded in from new are ok but not a "PATCH" on what you can extract out of these little beauty's

[todoguitar]

These amps are great, I got Core 100 some years back and it sounds just right, very comfortable for rehearsing and playing at home. most of my YouTube videos I’ve been recording with this amp. Cheers 🤘

[PhreddCrintt]

Superb. I was in on Friday last and chopped in my Katana Mk 2 Head and Blackstar HT-112 cab for the the 40 watt version. My gigging days are over and this will do me nicely thank you!!
Great video as always guys!

[HeyHammadAusafi]

I love my STEREO ID:CORE V4-10 (Bluetooth Edition) because it was the same price, lol. The only thing I kinda hate about it is the rubber feet, but the majority of amps in stores have rubber feet. I’ve heard they are solid and don’t break easily, so I should be good to go for a very long time, I hope.

Just sucks you can’t always get exactly what you want, but as a casual player, this is great. I got a large shopping bag with bubble wrap to put in the bottom and I use a monitor cover on top of the amp to keep it safe, lol.

[alexdenton]

I just bought it and can't wait to get it in the mail.

These kinds of modeling amps are perfect because they have a headphone output that I can connect to my big JBL PartyBox 310.

And an amp that is already excellent becomes absolutely incredible when connected to the right speaker system.

When I feel like it and want to play with something light, I can unplug it and use the amp alone.

And the Blackstar Architect software is really excellent—intuitive, well-designed where it needs to be, simple, and so on.

I still keep a tube amp with a 2x12 cab for when I want to change things up and need a big, full sound, but I stick with modeling amps because there's no need for big amps nowadays.

I even have the little Positive Grid Spark Go.

[Parariddle]

New Set looks smart gents and great video!

[Aaaaandcut]

I still love my v1 ID core, but to be honest if they would just make it Bluetooth and with an app I would upgrade in a heartbeat. I was excited to see V4 being released then let down with lack of that feature. They could be a Katana/ Spark killer if they added an app. I think their tone is better than both of them, but I don’t want to be tied to a laptop to dial in more tones. (First world problems I know), but it’s 2024 keep up or get left behind. Excellent work as always gentlemen!

[abramscank]

I probably should have watched this before sending it to my 12 year old daughter haha I just bought her this Amp and it will arrive at her mother's house in a few days and I won't be there to explain haha! You guys cracked me up any way haha thank you for editing hahaha. Cheers guys! I may have to get one foe myself as a practice amp!

[HarshTruth]

That jam session in the beginning was beautiful boys. I coulda listened to that all day

[RusoDryLaw]

Damn, I just got rid of my V3. These things sound amazing, ngl. Might buy another one again just for small rooms and practice.

[johnr]

These are the absolute best for when it’s very late, everyone is sleeping, and you just want to play very quietly. Because you had an idea, and you can’t sleep anyway.
