5/19 only Blackstar bedroom/travel 12watt 2x3 $99
this is odd, but may be what someone here needs/wants. Battery powered, bluetooth, headphone jack. $99 instead of $230. I'm not endorsing it, but a small part of me is tempted. If it was an 8 inch, I'd be tempted. But I'm old school. I guess the Yamahas do pretty well with tiny speakers.

I have plenty of tiny amps but this one is also designed to work with acoustics guitars. It's been tempting me too...

I have one - along with the carrying case they make for it, the stand adapter, the Li-ion battery, and the power supply, as well as the 12-watt extension cab. They entire thing is about as ideal a set up as I can imagine for busking, etc. Takes electric or acoustic with ease, and provides more than sufficient volume for that task. Plus - if you wish, you can use the amp for the audience on a stand and the extension cab as a monitor.
I wish this deal had been available when I bought mine! |

2 parallel Stupid Deals?
SO I don't know how I got there, but I have 2 windows open in my browser (Safari, but it shouldn't matter), each shows the same url - https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid - but with different Deals!
One has the Blackstar amp and one has their cheapie wood guitar case, both have a countdown clock running with the same time-to-go, the only odd thing is, the Blackstar page has a 800-449-9128 phone number, and the guitar case has 877-560-3807. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? I'm almost afraid to call MF to find out... |

I received my SDOTD Blackstar Super Fly yesterday.
First impressions, solid little plastic box with cool kickstand. No ac adapter, that is an add on at about $35-40. Comes with 8 AA batteries. Sounds Very good with my single coil Danelectro U2 electric. Nice full cleans, and nice crunch. Definitely not a toy sound. Reverb sounds like a hall reverb. With a Taylor 114 acoustic with the ES-T, it is ok. It is a bit mid-rangey, adding some bass helps. It does sound a bit compressed. The vocal channel is very thin sounding. So obviously, there are limitations with two 3" speakers and 2 ports. I think it makes a real nice busking amp, it gets pretty loud for what it is. For a practice amp, i think it is expensive at regular price and there are better amps at this price point. Glad I got it at a Stupid deal price. Last edited by jricc; 05-28-2020 at 08:58 AM. |

I caved and bought one too. Just because I have never had a tiny amp that works with acoustics too. Not really ready to review yet but positive first impressions. Both my guitar and my neighbors gently weep as I fumble through my George Harrison impression. Think I even heard a dog howling.
