Thanks for watching and supporting me here at "MartyMusic"!
Hey Marty can u do brandy Clark your drunk*.
marty did you go to college or you just play ya geetar all ye life
Good man
How about the vintage edition? Is it same or sound better ?
Anybody know of like a guitar mounted mini amp battery powered amp? With like quality speakers? If not I'm inventing one.
Back in grade 9 we would all bring in our mini amplifiers and jam in the hallway at school. I swear our whole class played guitar back then. Mini amps 15 years ago did not sound as good as this, that's for sure.
Slenderspartan me too
AllKeys JamTracks bruh what hs did u go to..
How old are you sir ?
Was it a micro cube? lol thats what we used
Yeah, they sounded like ass!.. I had one that looked like a half stack and u could clip on your belt.. Blew the thing up by running a distortion pedal into it and cranking it lol
I watched this review in Jan 2019, I still have this little amp, and it still works fine. I've dropped it, stepped on it, kicked it, I've spilt everything from soda to water on it, and it still works. What the heck did they use to make it? Space metal? Souls of their enemies? Idk, but it was like $60 bucks at a Guitar Center, so a newbie guitarist like me can just jam my heart out.
I named it Blumblyboo.
What duration can you say the batteries last(if played continuously)?
@@devvratpandey2980 To be honest, I've accidentally left the thing on for a day or two, and it still played fine. I think if the speaker in the amp isn't producing sound, it won't use the battery. It uses 4 AA batteries, and I don't remember if it came with batteries when purchased, but if it did, I'd change the batteries out asap, to something like Duracell or whatever.
@@nugget._.samg0 Alright, thanks for the advice.
lmao blumblyboo
Ok so i just want to ask you 2 questions. 1st one is can i ask you a queation? 2nd can i make the amp sound less loud when using distortion? Kinda new to guitar
I always learn something every time I watch you. I’m 75 and still get better!
Ashutosh Pathak
How’s that even funny ?
That’s kinda bad of you
Dude , why do ndians like destroying our name ?
You sir, keep doing what you have been doing. You are awesome.
I'm with you; Marty is great and one of my favorite sources of lessons. I'm 71 and enjoying the journey after playing for 3 years.
Oh my 1947?
@@mrtambourineman6107 he isn’t senile for crying out loud
Been shamelessly using this for recording demos and let me tell you, it's a godsend for those who live in apartments but still want a somewhat authentic recording.
I was worried, I am new to this and ordered one today.
Richard Childs how was ur experience?
str8 in a DAW or using a mic ?
what does authentic recording mean?
There’s no shame in it, some old rock hits were recorded on amps with 8inch or even smaller speakers and not what they used on stage ;-)
I was worried when I bought this wee amp that it would just eat batteries, but the 6x Duracell that I installed on the first day are still working and that was a year ago. Pretty pleased with that!
Should add that I use it nowhere near full volume. Usually around 10 or 11 o'clock which must savr a bit of energy.
thats impressive
Dang, impressive...
Apparently the delay doesn't use anywhere near the juice that reverb does. Mine is still on its 1st set. I'm impressed, and like Marty says, it's fun! And so portable!
Thanks for the review, Marty!
I think it can run full volume for 16 hours straight. They sell a power supply as well.
This amp is my current best friend along with my guitar.
It sounds great for such a tiny amp, and from what I could tell, it didn't sound very hissy or have any dirty background noise when cranked right up. Impressive.
Just picked one up and I can’t get over the clean tone on thing. The volume as well is unbelievable for the size.
THANK YOU MARTY! I wanted to hear this little amp and you demonstrated it masterfully and completely. Great playing, btw, love your Tele sound. :)
This amp is amazing. I sometimes forget I’m playing a battery powered mini amp, it sounds surprisingly good for the size. Also the batteries I placed over a year ago are still working. Wish I had this as my practice p when I was just starting out playing.
That Jam track is straight up dirty man! Awesome stuff Marty, you the OG of youtube guitar videos.
Sounds pretty good! The best part is that you plugged right into the amp and played it! No miking into a PA or something to distract from the sound ...After all we want is to hear the amp so we can decide if it is worth it in this complicated world...Thanks for the Review, Marty...Rock on!!!
I have this amp, the British Flag version. I just love it. I also bought a $35 Ammoon 2.4g wireless guitar system. That way you don’t have to worry about knocking it off the table by the guitar chord which is easily stiff enough to move it. The power adapter was $12 extra. I play this amp far more than any other amp I own. Want to sit on the front porch? How about taking out the amp and jamming? Highly recommend it. As a professional pilot it goes everywhere with me, as well as my Traveler ES-2.
In combination with my electric guitar controls this provides a satisfying range of tones and simple effects. I've been using it as an all-purpose amplifier so I noticed that the batteries that came with it lasted for many hours. Then the power light began to dim slightly, but it still worked fine for a while after. Then as it started to get really dim the sound quality began to fail. So there is a clear indication when you need to change batteries soon.
Best demo I’ve seen on this amp. That you respect the importance of its clean tone is one reason. I also like the cut of your jib young Simpson.
That's crazy, I just began researching portable amps today, that I could take to school; when good old Marty reads my mind and helps me out on my search.
Thanks for the demo , I just brought one , it sounds great ,a warm full tone
I love how you are always this enthusiastic with every video. Respect, keep it coming Marty!
I'm 6 years late to this video, but I only just got one of these amps not long ago, so videos like this are still awesome to be able to see what this little beauty can do. Thanks, Marty!😁
A cracking wee amp! Good tones and volume for such a small amp especially with second speaker. Tweaking the delay gives a reverb feel. Got the amp free with Magazine subscription - best mag freebie ever!
The "Mini Me" of guitar amps.
Thanks Marty, that is a great tune you did with Jamie. Could you demo a mini Strat or other brand 2/3 size guitar, like for kids?
Lesson on adding the 9th to the minor pentatonic please.
Ray Ross i startet playing on a mini squier, great guitar:)
Thanks Marty, I like your playing and you also really showcased the telecaster very well.
This is a brilliant little bit of kit. All you need really for home practice.
I have one since they came out. Since then I play everyday a few hours with headphones on, over backingtracks. It sounds OK through the speaker but the real strength is the headphones output. It then plays the backingtrack in stereo and sets your guitar in the middle. That sounds great. On headphones it draws around 40 mA so batteries last long. I play blues/rock/progrock. I have 2 Fender tube-amps but seldom use them since I have the Fly (bought them in the 80's when I played in a bands). I'm thinking about selling them and buy a small modelling amp with a lot more effects, more EQ settings and mains poowered. (But it must be stereo with a headphones output and mp3 input like the fly)
Try the Boss Katana !
Yamaha THR10
Rafael Quintas Can you play backing tracks through it via iPhone?
joe monroe Can you play backing tracks through it via iPhone?
tenantrep yes there is a 1/8 trs aux input for plugging in any phone or ipod type device. As long as the device used also has a headphone jack it will work.
Back in Black on a telecaster! 🤘love it!
Beard is looking awesome man.
When I was first learning to play, back in the ‘70s, if you wanted to be portable at all, the only option was the good ‘ol “Pignose” amp.
😂😂😂Damn you mean the one that they've shown in the Cross roads movie ?
Totaly agree with you. The old pignose usa are killers small amp👌👌
Pignose's are awesome!!!
Yes no need to look any further. But vintage usa are Really better than china build.
That little amp sounds great to me! Also that Telecaster is a righteous axe!!! Thanks Marty!
I just got one. I can now play along with your lesson and hear my self play along. It’s awesome......
The beginning of the review, starting jamming and not talking, and with such funky bluesy licks deserved a "love" button. Are you using any pedals in that?
Hey Marty do you know what kind of AC power adapters to use on this amp?
Great little video, really settled my decision. love your tele as well. thanks.
Have one of these little guys, awsome for practices riffs and ideas. Will have to try some these tones out. Cool Vid.
Its unreal how good that tiny little amp sounds,gonna buy it, great video.
Great demo. I'm seriously considering buying the new Def Leppard version of this mini amp.
how do you set the settings on the amp i just bought a guitar and this amp
That backing song sounded pretty cool. My Fly 3 comes tomorrow!
Bought the blackstar mini with the extra speaker and by the way it fits in my strat case...you have to place it face down and put a note pad at tail piece to push the body towards the middle of case so the tuning peg don't hit amp knob
Hey,
Can I send the EM. Out from the Blackstar fly3 directly through 3.5mm Aux to a laptop with FL Studio? Thanks.
I've recorded my songs that are on..with my Blackstar Fly! Its the sweetness!
Most of my learning curve has been on the 4-12 cab. Back in 2012 got my first Blackstar HT-5 which is rated 5-watts into a Celston 10" 16ohm 40 watt speaker open back. After owning and paying a high price which still holds it value; darn this model is stout. I decided to acquire a Fly 3 and today own two complete Blackstar Fly combo setup with chargers. I still have original 6-1.5 volt batteries even near two years old with some closed cup hearing headphones which I can use my pedals and these little monsters put out the tone and volume. Also have the ability to tie Fly into chain in/out of HT-5 for using the digital delay. It all works perfectly plus able to study my music either with head phones on or off. Great convience. I also picked up a bass Fly Three and when able to afford a bass will try out amp and it's features. Awesome job techs for Blackstar Company.
Love that clean sound! Might have to get one!
I wish I video taped my progress for the last month I never played cords before or for that matter played anything but I have learned so much thanks to your videos .. **question can you maybe put all videos in order to progress with you from the beginning ** if not I'm still going to learn from you thanks for taking the time to do this for me and all others
Looking to get this for my friend’s son so I looked up your review. Thank you so much 👍🏻! This will be a great birthday present 🎁 I am sure 😁!
Amazing. Especially the clean setting.
Learned to play the guitar back in 2014 mostly through your videos and just bought myself this amp today it kicks ass and so does your channel
Hey Marty, good overview of the amp. I've been looking for a small amp to use out on the deck - was thinking a pignose, but this seems better. Cool video
Mr. Marty, the first few seconds of this video had me in awe. You are a phenomenal guitarist. Fair play to you! (An irish person's way of saying "You are doing great / Good on you / You're on the right track with what you're doing).
I have the green one that came with other speak and AC charging cable. Best lil guitar amp.
Dope amp. The only thing I would like to see on it that's not there is a carrying handle similar to the Boss Katana Air
Where can i buy these hands
That's a nice comprehensive review, and you get some great tones out of that thing!
do you think if I either used the headphone output or miked this mini amp into a mixer I could gig with this amp?
I have seen a number of demos of this unit but Marty is the first one who uses the i-phone to demo that application. Thanks Marty. You may have missed an opportunity to plug in the extension cabinet and external power supply... you'd then get 6 watts of JUICE. I have to get one of these.
I got my Fly 3 with the extension cabinet and ac/dc power source. A couple things to note: They don't like Lithium batteries... gotta use alkaline cells... and IF you plug it into alternating current, you can't turn up the gain too far without it becoming annoyingly buzzy... even without anything plugged in to it. Use it at about halfway and play with the reverb and it is really cool.
Great demo. I got one free with a magazine deal. I wouldn’t have given it a chance without seeing your demo with it I reckon Blackstar owe you a pint!
I have the blackstar 10. Can you do a review on it. Trying to learn when I would change settings and finding the right sounds.
I have fly3 but i only practice using headphone. do i need a bigger amp for better sounds or the sounds are the same with headphones? i plan to use pedals.
Cool little Amp. I bought one about six months ago and have enjoyed it.
Hi what are you using to record the amp?
I know this is an older vid but there is two TH-cam channels that has intros that is just freakin bad ass! first is yours and the other is riffsandbeards its just awesomeness!
should I get the Blackstar fly3 pak or the roland micro cube ???please answer
I just got this yesterday. I love it, it's awesome
HI Marty,
Love your videos.😀
Just wanted to know what is the meaning of Watt rating in amp.
Does high watt means high sound?
Impressive for 3 watts. Helps when what’s being inputted (your playing) is so terrific.
Awesome little amp i bougth the blue one after this video it helps a lot when the power is out that is happening often since hurricane María
I have been using this exact amp for quite a while, while it does sound like a transistor, its good enough for a group of 10 or so friends and is also the most mobile and convenient shit ever
Dude you cold on that guitar!!!
This song goes in my motorcycle riding playlist immediately. Funky!
Would this sound better than the practice amp (elevate 10 watt amp) that came with the epiphone sl starter pack? I just blew a lot of money on a Strat and only have about 150 left and am looking for my best option.
Great review, Marty, and thanks from Australia!
Thank you. I subscribed to your channel some time ago when I saw your lessons. I literally grabbing my keys and heading out to get the black star. I'm a complete noon when it comes to electric guitars and was debating black star vs katana.
I'm going blackstar
Please do not put the newest Boss Amp to rest. It does have its positives.
Hello Marty , where did you buy your Amp?
Love it! I'm going to buy based on the sound you're getting! Thanks
Is there a cable for putting the AMP in the wall. Included ???
Another great video Marty. Still a fan of the whole vibe thing you got goin' on ! ! Cool brim too dude. Another note is how cool is that funk vibe you goin' there ! ! It's tight and in the pocket. Good stuff Pal ! ! Keep it up ! !
Another rockin video. Thanks man.. I may get one of these.. very space saving and sounds pretty good considering... your videos are top shelf... chow...
Hey Marty your the best on you tube!! Your lessons is so good
This is how you do a demo/review folks. Thanks!

Great video, already got me thinkin´!You shoud review the Marshall MS-4 next,that´d be cool.
Does it come with the mp3 cord??
Wicked little amp.
Would this be ok for a electric acoustic guitar (Epiphone EJ-200Sce)?
Thanks Marty...this is a nice little amp and you are really good at guitar too. 🙏🏻
eyeing this amp for my bedroom... i guess I'll get one!
That little thing sounds really great!
My amp ran great for the first two months without charging but now it will only give me 30 mins output on charging it for 3 hrs. What should I do? Please help.
Sounds great,great playing as well.
Marty I love you man
I don't play nearly as much as I should but every time I watch one of your videos, It always makes me want to pick up my guitar. Cheers
Hey Marty can you do a demo on the Friedman BE OD overdrive pedal? Thanks love your channel!
Is this good for an acoustic or classical also?
Hey Marty,, following your lessons mate. Just an old learner. Think I might buy an electric, what do you think of the Baccus BLS-98. Live Road Black 1997 ? Thank you..
Awesome, thanks! Can you teach the funky rhythms you played in the video? :)
Great little amp. I stop playing my full size amp because the sound is amazing.
Could you review the Vox
AC2 RhythmVOX Mini Amp w/ Built-in Beats please.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Hi I need a little help. I have the black box like yours. I like the functions it has but I dont like the noise. My guitar dont have plug in and thus I get a portable guitar pickup and plug into the box. every little movement of my guitar cause distortion noise. My guitar needs to be a distance away from the amp or else there would be noise. I see that you are not too far away from the box but there is no noise. Is there anything I can do ? please assist. Thanks
Actually your in need of the acoustic version to eliminate the feedback distortion and you should check your cable to amp input. It could be frayed near connectors or in the pickup itself.
I've got the bass version of this amp, it sounds great!
Love the telecaster. Have you heard that guitar center is selling jimi hendrix fender sratacoster. And love the theme song cover
