Impressive endurance
I thought that putting eight AA batteries ( a total of 12 volts ) into this little box meant it was going to devour them pretty fast but it has surprisingly lasted several hours . I have left it on by accident for three hours a couple of times and it didn't kill it . Soundwise it is great to have because I can play bass along with songs and it will be heard. Might be suitable for busking though I have not tried that. One thing to note is that I plugged a mandolin into it and it did not work well for that but it is the bass model and for bass it does well

Sounds good
Can dial in nearly any tone you might want. Speaker sounds good, mostly. It struggles with a low B, but so does my 15. Gave only 4 stars on portability. Add a strap or a handle somewhere. Held back a star on value because the extension cab isn’t included. Would like to have the pair for use with PC. Nonetheless I like the sound of this amp, and I am pleased with the purchase.

Revised review - Better than initially thought it was
It has taken a little time to figure out how to get the best sound out of this little amp, the instructions are not that helpful. After I added the fly103 extension cabinet and figured out 1) it cannot handle active electronics, so set the pass in passive mode, and 2) the little "sub" knob adds tremendously to the bottom end of the amp, I found this thing to be surprisingly capable of putting out decent sound, especially for it's size. It's not a set-up for performance or playing with another instrument, but it is excellent as a practice amp when playing solo and trying not to annoy neighbors. I would suggest buying the package to include the extension cabinet and the AC converter. I've been playing it for a week 2 hours/day and haven't worn out the batteries yet, but could get expensive if you don't have the converter.

Best small battery amp in my opinion
I've tried a number of small battery powered amps, to include the Danelectro Sweet Honey, Fender Mini Twin, Orange Micro crush, Roland Micro Cube, among a couple others I can't recall. The Danelectro and Fender amps just sound horrible if you turn them up past whisper volume. I found the Micro Crush and Micro Cube to be way too loud given their intended use. I wanted a amp I could play quietly, not at whisper volumes, but quiet enough so as not to disturb other house occupants. Blackstar nailed it here! For being a little plastic battery powered amp, this little guy can produce awesome tone, clean or overdriven, at my target volumes! Truthfully, I think this amp is an excellent investment to literally guitarists at all skill levels. Experienced players would at the very least find this amp's tones satisfying, and it's extremely portable. Beginners would be able to start with an amp that can be played at reasonable volumes, isn't too simple or too complex to experiment with dialing in tones, and sorry if I sound arrogant, but I think this amp sounds leagues better than any of the amps you see packaged in electric guitar starter sets. This amp sounds so good, a fellow guitarist actually mistook this amp's tones for my Blackstar HT5-R's tones once! I'm sure he went and bought one too!

but I'm pretty sure that all the compressor did was destroy the ...
Tempted to give it 5 stars, but I'm going to leave the 5th star blank for the uselessness of some of the controls. Haven't used it in a while and batteries are dead so I can't check, but I'm pretty sure that all the compressor did was destroy the sound. It seems to have a lot of bells and whistles, but they're pretty useless. You can get a good sound out of it though and that's what matters. I should warn also that it's NOT incredibly loud. It's not really designed, IMO, for performance. It might hold up with some softly played acoustic guitars, but I bought it for travel practice. It works excellently for that. Had previously purchased some of those tiny $25 belt clip guitar amps, but they distort too quickly. This holds up a lot better and actually give you a tiny little bit of bass boom, but if you're expecting something to jam with - you're going to need something more powerful. And bigger. I later added the extension, and while it does make it louder, it's still not loud enough to get you past the practicing alone point. It's great as a tiny little travel thing. With both speakers I feel one might as well just buy a bigger more powerful amp.

Terrible, weak, distorted sound... why does anyone like this?
I can't tell you how disappointed I am with this. Here's all the reasons it's going back immediately: -- cannot get a clean sound out of it. When Gain=0, there is no sound at all. Turning up gain at all results in distorted, fuzzy sound. The "OD" button just makes it even more fuzzy and distorted. -- volume is ridiculously low and weak. If you are trying to just have something audible without waking your roommate who's sleeping 5 feet away from you, this will work great. But then why aren't you just using headphones to begin with? -- the "EQ" control did nothing that I could detect, at all. -- same for the "COMP" controls. Frankly everything sounded compressed, all the time, no matter what I did with the controls. There was no subtlety about the sound, no nuances -- just fuzzy, flat and distorted. I've never twisted so many controls and not been able to detect any change whatsoever. -- Honestly, I was so disappointed, especially after reading so many positive reviews, I thought the batteries might be bad -- nope, used a battery tester on each AA and they were all 1.6v. I thought maybe I got a used or broken unit -- nope, I inspected the box and it had only the original packing tape, and the interior of the packing was pristine. I can see a parent buying this for their child who's just learning to play bass, and is very bad at playing bass, and you want to make SURE they are incapable of making a loud, terrible racket. In that case, this will definitely keep the volume down. That's about it.

Suitable for small practice area.
The mini amp was much small and compact than I expected. I wish the power cord came with the speaker saving me an additional cost.

Delivered early!
Arrived early and is more powerful than I anticipated for it's size!

大きいアンプとは比べても仕方がない。これだけの小ささでこれだけの音が出れば十分。居間などでちょっと練習するなどの手軽さで、練習の機会が増える。ベースらしい音は出るので教則本練習などでの音の確認には十分使える。ニッカド電池で駆動しているが、結構電池の持ちはよい。小さい取っ手があると便利だと思う。

Habe den Blackstar Fly Bass gekauft um unterwegs eine Alternative zu meinem Kopfhörerverstärker von VOX zu haben. Die zu erfüllenden Mindestvoraussetzung war ein Line In um MP3's während dem Üben mitlaufen zu lassen. Ein Kopfhörerausgang war wünschenswert aber kein Muss. Funktional und in Bezug zu den Möglichkeiten bietet der Fly Bass, im Vergleich mit anderen Geräten in der Größe ein überragendes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Das mir gelieferte Gerät hat allerdings deutliche Schwächen, wobei mir aktuell nicht klar ist ob diese beim Fly Bass generell nunmal so sind, oder ob ich einen Rückläufer erhalten habe, welcher technisch nicht einwandfrei ist. Auffällig war, dass die Originalverpackung mit einem 2. Klebeband verschlossen war und der, laut Rezessionen eines anderen Onlineshop, normalerweise vorhandene Trennstreifen zwischen den standardmäßig bereits eingelegten Batterien und den Kontakten fehlte. An dem mir gelieferten Gerät ist zu bemängeln, dass die beiden mittleren Regler eigentlich unbrauchbar sind. Da bei diesen, mit Ausnahme der 0-Stellung starkes Rauschen erzeugt wird und die Töne beim Spielen in der Lautstärke , . Der Gain-Regler kann zu max. einem drittel genutzt werden, darüber ist der Klang unbrauchbar. Der Klang insgesamt ist brauchbar und zum Üben ausreichend. Die Materialanmutung und Verarbeitung ist für ein Gerät mit der Ausstattung und in dieser Preisklasse sehr gut. Da ich es hier nicht gefunden hatte, habe ich mir das Netzteil bei einem großen Musikhaus dazubestellt. Ich werde das Gerät mit dem Netzteil, ohne Batterien über das Wochenende testen und am Montag entscheiden, ob ich es zurücksende oder mit den vorhandenen Defiziten behalten werde. Entsprechend der genannten Probleme gebe ich dem Fly Bass max. 3 Sterne. Nachtrag: Nachdem ich gestern 2 Stunden mit dem Fly Bass verbracht und dabei sämtliche Einstellungsvarianten, sowohl an Bass als auch Verstärker (Fender Jazzbass aus der American Elite- Serie + verschiedene Kabel) durchprobiert habe geht der Fly Bass morgen zurück. Der Klang ist zumindest bei meinem Gerät katastrophal. Rauschen, Kratzen und Scheppern ist nicht akzeptabel. Das Klangbild wäre bei Nichtvorhandensein der Störgeräusche in Ordnung. Bezogen auf das mir gelieferte Gerät korrigiere ich die Bewertung auf zwei Sterne nach unten. Zwei Sterne bleiben für die Ausstattung.

Es muy bueno, se escucha muy fuerte para su tamaño, de hecho me sorprendió su sonido para ser tan pequeño, es perfecto para llevarlo a campamentos, la playa o en algún viaje, suena bastante bien, muy buen ampli

Es un ampli sencillo, sólo 3 vatios de potencia, y con un sonido aceptable. La mayor ventaja de este amplificador es su tamaño ya que puedes llevarle a todas partes sin ningún problema, ya que también pesa muy poco. Cuenta con un canal de overdrive que puede venir bien según qué situaciones, una EQ con un sonido decente que tiene como extra un potenciometro de "Sub" para potenciar las frecuencias más graves. Lo que menos me convence es el compresor, que para mi gusto no suena muy bien y sus opciones son más bien limitadas. El ampli también cuenta con entrada auxiliar y salida de cascos, muy utiles para ensayar por ejemplo. En resumen, un amplificador más que recomendable ya que por su bajo precio tienes un amplificador para ensayar que puedes llevar a todas partes. En cuanto al envío fue fácil y rápido, sin ningún problema.

Très petit HP donc on est loin d'un "vrai" ampli mais la restitution d'un son d'une guitare basse reste plus correct qu'avec un haut parleur non-dedié basse même si ce n'est toujours pas ça... Le volume est suffisant pour jouer seul mais un peu limite pour jouer avec une guitare acoustique Les contrôles sont pas terrible: -OD et compresseur inutilisables -Gain et EQ sont à ajuster pour extraire un bon son suffisamment fort et non pas un choix pour chercher un son voulu La finition est très plastique, très cheap et n'inspire pas beaucoup de confiance pour balader sans souci au fond d'un sac Line in et du marketing qui suggère qu'il peut être utiliser comme un HP musique mais le son est mauvais Nécessite 6piles AA (rechargeable c'est mieux) mais tient en autonomie =>Le concept est top et peut faire un job pour des usages/attentes bien précis mais on atteint rapidement ses limites Dommage car quelques modification de conception (quelques décibel de plus, contrôles simples utilisable, boîtier plus robuste, alim/batterie rechargeable) et ça sera une tuerie
