Well you did it again. You sold mr on this Blackstar ID Core Stereo 100 Amp. I have a chance to buy a used one here in Sacramento Californis. Hope she is still there. Again thank you for all your hard work and help.
Way to go Jon ! ! Great demo on the tones. The gain setting on the clean and crunch are about the best I feel without having to fiddle with a bunch of outboard stuff. I have one of these amps and they are flat out predatory. Thanks for the review ! ! I'm subscribed but I haven't seen your videos in my feed. I'm still lookin'.
Yes...it's got some really nice tones..And to think this amp came out years ago...If I wasnt doing reviews..I'll probably will not get to play amps like this..✌🤓
Does it sound much better.i have the I'd core 20.best practice amp ever.im wondering weather I'll be better off with the blackstar for local gigs katana is ok but I like the sound better of my small I'd core.
Good morning Jonathon,I used to have the ID core 20 combo which is a fantastic little amp, great fun.I usually play thru a 50 watt marshall head and 2x12 cab.I also have the boss katana 50 which I like.I wanted the looper facility the octave and I tried the id core 100 and bought straight away.My fav guitar at the minute is my Fender telecaster vintage Mod surf green.They sound very good together..................or is it me ha ha .Keep posting the vid's you are deffo a bright light amongst the dark clouds at the moment
I think you saved me. I am looking for a gig-able but also stereo recording amp, with looper. I think this is the one to go for. 👍Earlier looked at the Roland jazz chorus, but I guess this one is better. Thnx!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Hi very good review, thank a lot, just one question, if you only use external effects from your pedalbord with the amp clean would you still get the stereo output ? or you need to use the amp effects to get it ? Thanks a lot.
Be interesting to hear a side-by-side with the 100W Katana. This has stereo; the Katana has more effects and they're Boss effects. Also, the Katana goes down to 50W and 0.5W. This sounds damn good though.
It could be interesting with a comparison with the Katana 100 mk II or maybe the Blackstar 260 against Katana Artist.... I have a feeling that modelling is here to stay,,,, :o) btw - did you ever present your complete live setup ? it could be interesting and inspiring as you sound is always amazing... Take care and stay inside
Jonathan: Thanks for the vid - nice work as usual. Obviously, the main comparison here would be against the Boss Katana MK II 100 watt. Any chance you can do a deeper back to back shootout, comparing each amp? Cheers and stay safe....
I'm confused about the footswitches, too. The ID Core 100 manual and Blackstar website both call for the FS 12 The FS10 looks like a more versatile pedal, but Blackstar says it is only for the Silverline and ID-TVP series. Blackstar and Line 6 must be competing on confusing footswitch compatibility. Anyone using the FS10 with ID Core 100?
Hi Jonathan, I prefered the tones of the Blackstar HT5120. I feel like something is missing with this Id Core. May be it's because I'm playing a lot my Vox AC those days.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud or a 100watts amp needs to be cranked loud to really sound its guts !? Also my Vox AC delivers lots of sparkling highs, and strong enlarged cabinet of AC HW1 gives more headroom. I feel the Boss Katana has more precise sounds.
Hallo Jon!Thx for your excellent video!I have two questions.First,how would you compare the blackstar with boss katana?Second,whats the name of this beautiful guitar?
I have the katana artist 100w. Blackstar puts out much better OD tone right out the box for metal players. Katana is much louder though, volume at noon is good enough for bar gigs while my idcore 100 needs to be at around 200 or 300. Many more internal fx on the katana. No looper or footswitch comes with katana, there is a looper with footswitxh with the idcore100.
Hi. Another great video. I enjoy watching you play. I notice that your playing area seems to get smaller with each video. Your stocked with amps and guitars. Do you have to return the equipment that you demo or is it sent to you without any strings attached? Keep the videos coming.
Sounds great! Can you adjust the power output like on my Boss Katana? It has a 0.5 watt setting I use for home, which means you can max out the volume to get the best sound out of it. What is ISP? Thanks for the demo Jonathan, take care and keep safe!
I am quite happy with my Blackstar Stereo40 V2 ID Core. One regret, you cannot set in to 0,5w ot 0,1w. Upstairs neighbours get annoyed with a volume about 1 out of 10....that is when you live in a concrete building. Pff, but mostly they are not rock/metal/blues fans hahaha
hi there, thx vm for the vid.. however, i cant seem to find any vids on this blackstar id core which demos the mp3 input and how it sounds just to listen to music.. can you pls respond and tell me what you think about that? does it sound like a true hifi system or does it sound like most guitar amps with an aux in (a bit muffled and a lot of low ends) ?? thx vm
So I can go TRS to dual TS cable from the emulated output into an interface and get stereo reverb from this amp? Just need to clarify as if so there is one nearby me going cheap I want to grab, if not then I'm not interested.
@@aidanalburo an in ear monitor is basically a Head phone.. if you need the amp speaker to be turned on at the same time, you will need a separate headphone amp.
Which one is best fender champion 100 watt or blackstar 100 watt please help me, my valut says blackstar but my mind says fender champion, all ready I had bitter experience with black star...
Dude! Teach me about the amp! Demonstrate your playing ability on a different format. I know you can play, but how do I make full use of my amp. Need knowledge, not entertainment. Katy Perry called...

Wonderful!!!! Enjoy your evening! Tim n Tina

That amp Sounds amazing. This may be the eventual successor to my MK1 Boss Katana 100. I especially love the Od2 sound. Cheers Jonathan 😊👍

Very good review . Thank You

I have the ID Core 150, 4 cable method from a helix floor. Best investments I ever made
cool!

Love my Blackstar. I have the HT-20R MKII and the tubes just scream. And it can be 20W or 1W
nice!
Jon you are growing so fast!! At least 5 grand in 6 to 12 months! Duly worthy.
Thank you Robert!! You have been so encouraging✌️❤️

Loud enough to play live?
Rock and pop
Yes it is✌️❤️
Is there a line out on the back that can go directly to House PA?
Nope unless you convert the headphones out

Another excellent video from bro Jonathan. Does the amp have Bluetooth like my wee I.D Core BEAM amp?
nope it doesnt🤓✌❤

Hallo Jon,what about the headphone quality by this amp? I have a oscartana for testing at the moment and the headphone quality is a bit low!
They sounded good✌️❤️
Jonathan, can you please tell where do we find this backing track? jam tracks for guitars ?

Would this be an upgrade from the line 6 spider 3?
Wouldn’t know✌️❤️

Sorry, no idea....I did not try having mp3s played thru the amp
So I can go TRS to dual TS cable from the emulated output into an interface and get stereo reverb from this amp? Just need to clarify as if so there is one nearby me going cheap I want to grab, if not then I'm not interested.
no you cant..
I'm trying to play through headphones on this amp and no sound comes through either pair I've tried; I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Can you get support from where you are?
Can I plug an in-ear monitor into this amp?
Use the headphones out ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud does it not disable the speakers?
@@aidanalburo an in ear monitor is basically a Head phone.. if you need the amp speaker to be turned on at the same time, you will need a separate headphone amp.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I see. So, the amp doesn't have an Aux Out.
is it good for acoustic guitar?
Not meant for acoustic guitars
PS THE FS13 COMES WITH THIS AMP.
Ah yes
Which one is best fender champion 100 watt or blackstar 100 watt please help me, my valut says blackstar but my mind says fender champion, all ready I had bitter experience with black star...
Go for the Fender then!!✌️❤️

Dude!! The amp is back in the shop...Google Blackstar to find out more about the workings of the amp....And..Tell Katy to call back....lol
