Blackstar ID:CORE 10 V4 Stereo Digital Combo Amp in Oxblood

The Blackstar ID:CORE 10 V4 Stereo Digital Combo in Oxblood is a compact, great-sounding practice amp that is just as happy on a desk in a home studio as it is in a bedroom. With 10 watts of immersive Super Wide Stereo sound, six versatile amp voices, built-in effects and modern USB-C connectivity, it gives you inspiring tones at any volume, whether you are learning your first chords, refining your technique or recording at home.

Armed with Blackstar’s patented ISF tone control, a switchable power reduction down to 1 watt and the powerful CabRig Lite speaker simulation, the ID:CORE 10 V4 makes it easy to dial in your ideal sound and capture it directly into your computer. The full-range stereo speakers also make it a handy hub for music playback, films and gaming, while the limited-edition Oxblood finish adds a stylish twist to your home set-up.

Immersive Super Wide Stereo Sound

Blackstar’s Super Wide Stereo technology uses two 3-inch speakers and clever processing to create a spacious, room-filling sound from a compact combo. Backing tracks feel bigger, effects sound more three-dimensional and practising becomes more inspiring, helping you stay motivated and play for longer.

Six Versatile Voices with ISF Tone Shaping

With Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD 1 and OD 2 on tap, the ID:CORE 10 V4 covers everything from sparkling cleans to saturated high-gain tones. The patented ISF control lets you sweep between American-style and British-style responses, so you can fine-tune the feel and character of your sound to match your playing and your guitar.

Quiet-Friendly Power Reduction

A switchable power reduction takes the amp from its full 10 watts down to 1 watt, letting you achieve rich, responsive tones at much lower volumes. You can enjoy the amp’s dynamics and drive without disturbing housemates or neighbours, making it ideal for late-night practice sessions.

CabRig Lite and USB-C for Recording and Streaming

CabRig Lite speaker simulation recreates the sound and feel of a miked guitar cabinet, so your direct signal sounds natural and mix-ready. Connect via USB-C to record straight into your DAW or stream your playing online, and use the free Architect software to access deeper editing and fine-tune your presets from your computer.
