Product Description

The ID Core 20 is one of the best sounding practice amps available on the market today. It's versatile and small making it easy to use in any home situation, whether in the lounge or bedroom with up to 6 different voicings so that you can get a great sound, no matter what style of music you play.

The 6 voicings offered will allow you to go from pretty clean tones to mild overdrive for classic rock, to heavily distorted for hard rock and metal.

The 6 unique voicings available are:

  • Clean warm
  • Clean bright
  • Crunch
  • Super Crunch
  • OD1
  • OD2

It has 2 speakers in the cabinet which gives your sound more width, especially when using modulation effects like chorus and tremolo where the sounds bounce from left to right.

Version 2

For the newest version of their ID core range Blackstar have improved the sound quality of all of the voicings available. So each channel has had an upgrade and you can still use the ISF (Infinite Shape Filter) as an easy solution to set up your EQ.

Here's what Blackstar Say


Since their launch our ID:CORE 10, 20, 40 and 40H models quickly established themselves as market leaders in the entry level guitar amp market.

Amazing tone, Super Wide Stereo sound and classleading features made them the best value amps available.

Mr Rodney Beasley22nd Dec 2020

Although this is a practice amp, it has big amp tones. The wide spatial sound from the small speakers gives the amp a huge depth of tone from Jazz to rock. The software is limited and does take some getting used too and could do with a help menu. Overall this amp packs more depth that the Marianna trench.

Mr Scott Cunningham21st Dec 2020

Small and loud. Packed with plenty of features and voices. If the Insider software worked it would be 5 stars but not a deal breaker. A small practice amp is what I wanted and that's what you get with the Blackstar iCore 20

Simple controls, well laid out, uncluttered. Should be easy to operate but if you're not familiar with settings and combinations, it's not easy to to get the sound you want, even with the single sheet instructions included and online reviews. Have looked for a good tutorial on ID:Core not a run through of knobs & settings and have got close but still falls a little short.
