Blackstar ID:CORE 10 V4 Stereo Digital Combo Amp in British Racing Green

The Blackstar ID:CORE 10 V4 in British Racing Green is a compact, 10 watt stereo digital combo that is perfect for home practice, recording and content creation. With six versatile amp voices, studio-quality effects and Blackstar’s immersive Super Wide Stereo technology, it delivers inspiring tones at sensible volumes, all wrapped up in a striking limited finish that looks as good as it sounds.

Designed by the same R&D team behind Blackstar’s professional amplifiers, the ID:CORE 10 V4 gives you an intuitive, plug-in-and-play experience with the added power of programmability and computer connectivity. From sparkling cleans to saturated high gain, you can dial in your sound quickly, save it, and then take it straight into your DAW or live stream via USB-C or a simple TRRS cable to your smartphone.

Whether you are picking up the guitar for the first time or you are an experienced player needing a reliable practice and recording tool, this amp is built to keep you playing for longer. The power reduction down to 1 watt makes it easy to achieve rich, driven tones at neighbour-friendly levels, while the stereo 3 inch speakers fill the room with a surprisingly big sound for such a portable combo.

With free access to Blackstar’s Architect software and CabRig Lite cabinet simulation, the ID:CORE 10 V4 also opens the door to deeper editing and direct recording, giving you a complete, modern guitar rig in one compact box.

Super Wide Stereo Sound

Blackstar’s Super Wide Stereo technology uses two 5 watt power stages and a pair of 3 inch speakers to create an expansive sound field that makes your playing feel bigger and more immersive. Delays, reverbs and modulation effects come alive in stereo, helping you get lost in the sound and making practice sessions more inspiring.

Six Versatile Amp Voices

With Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD1 and OD2 on tap, the ID:CORE 10 V4 covers everything from glassy cleans and edge-of-breakup blues to tight modern rhythm and singing lead tones. Each voice is carefully voiced by Blackstar’s engineers so you can quickly find a sound that suits your style without getting bogged down in menus.

Built-in Effects and Patented ISF Control

Four types each of delay, modulation and reverb give you a full palette of studio-style effects without needing pedals. The patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control lets you sweep the overall character of the amp from a more American-inspired response to a distinctly British flavour, making it easy to fine-tune your tone to sit perfectly in a mix or match your favourite players.

Ready for Recording and Streaming

USB-C connectivity allows you to plug straight into your computer and record without an audio interface, while live streaming to your smartphone is simple using a standard TRRS cable. With the free Architect software and CabRig Lite cabinet simulation, you can craft detailed patches, manage presets and capture convincing miked-cab sounds directly, making the ID:CORE 10 V4 a powerful tool for modern players creating content at home.

• 10 Watt Super Wide Stereo Power - The 10 watt (2 x 5 watt) stereo power section and twin 3 inch speakers deliver a surprisingly big, room-filling sound that makes practice more enjoyable and helps effects sound richer and more three-dimensional.
• Six Flexible Amp Voices - Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD1 and OD2 provide a complete tonal toolkit, so you can move from subtle cleans to saturated lead tones at the twist of a knob without needing multiple amps or complex setups.
