Blackstar – A Digital Revolution for Modern Guitarists

Since 2007, Blackstar has stood for innovative guitar amplification “by musicians, for musicians.” Founded by former Marshall engineers, the brand combines British tonal tradition with cutting-edge digital technology. The ID:X 100 is the result of this vision: an amp that authentically simulates classic tube tones while offering maximum flexibility and ease of use. The ID:X series is an evolution of the popular ID:Core line—with significantly more power, control, and connectivity.

Technical Highlights of the Blackstar ID:X 100

At the heart of the ID:X 100 are advanced digital sound engines with freely selectable tube emulations. The choice between EL84, EL34, and 6L6 allows you to faithfully reproduce the playing feel and tonal character of classic amps. Using the Power Response circuit, you can select the output power between 100W, 20W, and 1W—ideal for quiet practice, recording, or large stages.

The 6 amp voicings range from Clean Warm to Crunch to OD2, covering a wide stylistic spectrum. The ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control allows for seamless blending between British and American tone characteristics—for even greater sonic freedom. With over 35 effects (modulation, delay, reverb, pre-FX), you can shape your sound directly on the amp with studio-quality results.

Effects and Controls—Fully Integrated

The ID:X 100’s effects are visible on a dynamic display and can be edited directly on the amp via the intuitive control panel. Control elements include, among others:

• Pre FX, Mod, Delay, Reverb
• Gain, Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble
• ISF, Master Volume, Cab Rig Level
• Bank Switch, Channel Selection (CH1–CH3), Tap Tempo, Power & Response

Every setting can be saved—so you can create your own sound banks and recall them at the touch of a button. Ideal for live situations where quick sound changes are crucial.
