I own the original black Fly.. and everyone who played in it fell in love with it and wanted one. It has a surprisingly beautiful sound.. warm but very articulate.. i love it, especially for a small portable amp 👌
Great playing for the intro! Makes a change to hear a really musical piece when other reviewers just want to show off the speed they can traverse the fretboard.
Absolutely marvellous guitar playing ministering to me. I'm playing this YT video via my Huawei phone Bluetooth to my Blackstar BEAM amp. Beautiful tones with such feeling. Blessings in the most high King of Kings.
Hi Jonathan, I used to live there in Singapore during high school. Saw your videos of biking on east coast pkwy, I learned to sailboard there. Brings back old memories,
Of course I have the green fly 3 ext cab set up. It's just plain bad ass 6w output x 2- 3 in drivers. No comparison with the one cab version once played and put pedals behind the clean 6w both cab. Wow, it comes alive.
Jonathan, love your style of playing and the tone of your Ax. You are one marvelous guitar player, you had me at about 15 seconds in. I'm like, dude is a bad man.. I would absolutely love to jam with you man but it's not possible. Play on brother. Do what player's do...
Beautifully expressive playing... and such a gorgeous sunburst stratocaster, its reminiscent of a spectacular sunset :-) I like the chicken head knobs on the Vintage Fly 3 model best. Its a shame they aren't in an actual tweed covering, although the creamy white isn't far off. I find your playing utterly inspiring, such a talent... thanks for sharing. Happy New Year!
Wow!!! Absolutely fantastic playing and tone!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I have the Fly and it is one of thee best amps I have ever heard! If they could make a 15 or 25 watt version, that would be awesome! My gut feeling is that the Debut 50 would be a close second to the Fly at a higher wattage! I haven’t played through the Debut 50, but would definitely like to!
These are pretty good little amps for a short amount of money. I had the Fly 3 Bass for awhile. Sounded nice for a small practice amp. Thanks for sharing!
Use this set since its release as speakers for my laptop , easy to plug in and play along with youtube or backingtracks ,but without guitar very nice as speakers , headphone out i use sometimes to plug in a 2.1 logitech speaker to scale up the sound to dolby surround movie theatre levels . even plug it in to a Harley Benton 12 "cab its not same quality as my Vox AC 10 ,but so easy when on the internet to instant plug in my guitar when i feel like it . definetly a keeper ,and also fun for someone that doesnt play guitar as cheap computerspeakers .
Thank you! I have been wanting to know if it sounded decent as regular stereo music speakers. You are the first to comment on this that I have found...
Hi Jonathan Thank you so much for another video in which you share your nice tasteful playing and great advice. - another nice "takeaway' mini modeling 'all in" amp you may want to check out is the NUX Mighty Lite Bt Cheers from Belgium -You Rock
Hi Jonathan, I've been checking out reviews of this amp before buying (which I have), one of the best reviews on YT, and just have to say, you have killer feel my friend, my kind of player! Subbed!
Hey Jonathan, never played a Fly, but I still have the HT1. Love the Blackstar Overdrive a lot, this little thing sounds really great. Great Videos Jonathan 🤘🏻🎸🎶
Yes, it offers a very decent tone I have the original black one that I use when travelling for business, in hotel room. I like it better than using the Vox miniamp plugged in the guitar with headset. Tone far better than any other mini amp that I tried , Marshall, Fender, Orange. And it fits in a carry on aircraft luggage.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud maybe i will do some vids too.....next year. not about gear, about fixing gear the right way ;) and some guitar builds maybe.....wish me luck that we get the house that we want so bad
Looks cute as you say, that’s about it. It’s not for me, I’d rather just plug in to my audio interface for a quick jam, via a line 6 pod and out through my 2.1 speakers. Try and get your hands on a Boss Katana to try out, you won’t be disappointed, I think you will love it.
Great review! Thanks! A question: is possible to use a reverb pedal with this amp or is there some problems related to the absence of a "loop effect" to send and return the contribution of the reverb pedal? Thanks a lot.
Hello, is there any difference between this and the black one, tonewise? I watched the Ola Englund's video on Fly 3 and It can give a nice enought metal tone wonder if cream one do the same
Hi Jonathan, at the first look it looks like the small Marshall but at the second look its diffrent it sounds good, i have buy me for the little room the Harley Benton when i play with Batteries it loss loudness and it sounds not so good is this at the Blackstar the same? LG Detlev
Hello everyone, if i use the amp in a stereo set with the second speaker, which is the right and which is the left channel ? Not for the guitar, of course, the two loudspeakers are connected in parallel, i mean for stereo music playback via aux. Or are we being fooled here and this thing can only do double mono? Greetings Robby
Robby..you are not being fooled at all....This Fly3 was also meant to function as desktop speakers for your computers too. Try feeding a stereo input source in it before you make any assumptions
The FLY Stereo Pack includes the FLY 3 Acoustic mini amp, a FLY 103 extension cabinet and a power supply. Combined together, the FLY 3 Acoustic and FLY 103 make a 6 Watt stereo amp for guitar or music playback - perfect as a set of portable speakers or for using at home as pc speakers.

Yep.. can’t beat the fact that it’s really portable and Beatty it all, useable 😊✌️
Very Jeff Beck-ish. In fact, you took it and made it your own. You are always a pleasure to listen to.
Thank you✌️❤️
These little Blackstar practice amps really are quite good.
The volume swells in your opening jam, tasty!
John Janoski thanks John ✌️🤓
Great playing for the intro! Makes a change to hear a really musical piece when other reviewers just want to show off the speed they can traverse the fretboard.
Thank you✌️❤️
I just got one of these as a practise amp for when I'm out at work can't wait to see what it sounds like with my g&l comanche

Much love. I just got the fly 3 and can't wait for my cab
✌️❤️
respect to this guy. nice dude. good player.
Thank you✌️❤️
Love your feel on that axe.
Rua Stacey thank you ✌️
I'm back to using my Fly 3 daily now after selling my gear [holidays]. It takes pedal well and opens up the sound and volume.
Nice!! Expensive holidays huh? 🤣✌️❤️

Beautiful sounding
Thank you ✌️❤️
Enjoyed this thoroughly. You're an awesome player!
Thank you kindly!✌🤓
I own the limited edition Hot pink fly wish they would’ve done matching cabs for each one. But gonna buy the black cabinet
Cool ✌️❤️
Would have loved Hot Pink w/ black combo - favourite colour combination for aesthetic & political reasons !
No hot pink in Australia
When you play with overdrive + delay it sound great and more balance
✌️❤️
I like your tone and feel. Well done
Thank you ✌️❤️

Hey Jonathan, never played a Fly, but I still have the HT1. Love the Blackstar Overdrive a lot, this little thing sounds really great. Great Videos Jonathan 🤘🏻🎸🎶
Matthias Lorenz I was supposed to review the HT1 .. couldn’t find a cab for it.. ah maybe someone soon ✌️🤓
dang the blues 0n fire hear wow
✌️❤️
Jonathan would sound good on any amp. All the best guitar players wear shorts on TH-cam.
Lol✌️❤️
Hi Jonathan. Good review. The line out is an emulated line out & I get decent recordings running that into my Focusrite 2i2 & into Garageband.
Steve Duggan cool ✌️
Yes, it offers a very decent tone I have the original black one that I use when travelling for business, in hotel room. I like it better than using the Vox miniamp plugged in the guitar with headset.

Gilles Genete yes portable and sounds great ✌️
your editing skills are getting scary good man ! thumbs up.
Unfreundlich thanks man.. I made a boo boo by shooting the song segment in a slower shutter speed.. but then it became a dreamlike effect hahaha
I’m still learning...😂
@@JonIsJustTooLoud maybe i will do some vids too.....next year. not about gear, about fixing gear the right way ;) and some guitar builds maybe.....wish me luck that we get the house that we want so bad
and i know nothing about cameras or even editing :D that will be a lot of fun....screaming and shouting :D
Unfreundlich hahaha it’s not that hard Erna you set your mind to it!! You first video should be ‘how I made a guitar for Jonathan!’ Lol!!✌️🤓
I have the black version and was happy with the tones you can get out of it... nice little practice amp.
Yes it is!✌
I watch all your vids god i wish i could play like you
Thank you.. keep at it.. you will probably play better than me in no time!!✌️🤓
great improvising...as always..Jonathan... name of that JTC track..
Thanks.. it’s called wcg_uptown_sjt ✌️
Great playing
Those volume tricks are insaaaane
I never could do that volume tricks
Any tips?

@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks mate
Jonathan! Do you have any albums out? I love your playing style!
Thanks Gil! No...not at the moment 🤓✌

Garegh62 No, I’ve no need for it, would be for show only if ever I did get one.
Great review! Thanks!
A question: is possible to use a reverb pedal with this amp or is there some problems related to the absence of a "loop effect" to send and return the contribution of the reverb pedal?
Thanks a lot.
I dont know...you can try...'m sure it's ok✌💙
Hello, is there any difference between this and the black one, tonewise? I watched the Ola Englund's video on Fly 3 and It can give a nice enought metal tone wonder if cream one do the same
This is the vintage version.. much tamer than the black one ✌️❤️

Detlev Cohrs no they are not the same ✌️😝
Jon, have you got UAD software running on a iPad? Or is that a screen share?
It’s a screen share ✌️❤️
You should check out the vox amp plug headphone amps.👨🏽🎤
Hello, which one would you prefer, Yamaha thr (5h or 10x) or fly 3 with 103 extension? Thank you so much.
Very different amps
@@JonIsJustTooLoud yes I agree with you...only to know your opinion... Thanks
sorry to over post this sick case a gain is in about way a pre amp

Why do you mic up the amp Jonathan? I mean, it's not going to sound like that on It's own.
If I dont ..how are you guys going to hear it?? :)
Great guitarmanship, if that's a word. Maybe not a PC word though 🙂
✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud What guitarist doesn't!? 🙂
