Blackstar today introduces three colour special editions of the ID:Core 10 V4: Oxblood, Racing Green and the returning Double Cream. Three distinctive looks for Blackstar’s best-selling amp series.
Oxblood brings the unmistakable, premium Artisan aesthetic to ID:Core, with deep Oxblood Tolex and black basketweave fret. Racing Green delivers classic British heritage, complete with premium biscuit-coloured basketweave fret. Double Cream returns after its first run in 2024, with cream covering, corners and control panel, finished with contrasting black knobs.
ID:Core has always been about making practice sound bigger, wider and more inspiring. Blackstar’s unique Super Wide Stereo technology surrounds you with sound, creating an immersive playing experience that goes far beyond what you’d expect from a compact practice amp. Stereo effects spread out around you, filling the room and putting you right at the centre of your sound.
Whether you’re practising, playing along to your favourite tracks or experimenting with huge ambient effects, Super Wide Stereo makes playing at home feel like more than just practice. Plug in, turn it up and immerse yourself.
Six distinctive voices take you from pristine cleans to high-gain tones, while twelve studio-quality effects give you everything from subtle depth to expansive stereo soundscapes. Blackstar’s patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control lets you continuously shape the response of the tone control network to find the sound that feels right for you.
And when it’s time to record, CabRig™ Lite brings Blackstar’s next-generation IR-based speaker simulation to ID:Core. Choose from professionally captured cabinet responses and record incredible studio quality tones directly over USB-C, without ever needing to mic an amp. Combined with 4-channel USB-C audio and simple re-amping, ID:Core 10 V4 becomes a powerful recording tool as well as an inspiring practice amp.
You can also livestream Direct-to-phone via TRRS audio for high quality livestreaming or recording videos, making content creation with the ID:CORE V4 simple and intuitive. Blackstar Architect software gives you deep control over your ID:Core V4, letting you edit patches, fine-tune your amp and shape CabRig from your computer. Browse and manage patch libraries, back up setlists and use the randomise feature to spark new ideas when inspiration runs dry.
