Blackstar FLY 3 Acoustic Mini Amp - Portable Acoustic Amplifier | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Blackstar FLY 3 Acoustic mini amp delivers exceptional natural sound reproduction in a compact, portable package designed specifically for acoustic instruments. This 3-watt amplifier features switchable EQ shapes, built-in echo effects, and versatile connectivity options that make it perfect for practice, small performances, or personal monitoring. Whether you're playing acoustic guitar, ukulele, or mandolin, the FLY 3 Acoustic provides clear, accurate tone amplification that enhances your performance without coloring your instrument's natural voice.
Product Overview
The FLY 3 Acoustic features a specialized 3-inch speaker engineered to reproduce natural acoustic tones with remarkable clarity and detail. The compact design houses professional-quality electronics that deliver surprisingly full-bodied sound from such a small footprint. Two switchable EQ shapes provide either flat response for pure acoustic reproduction or a mid-cut with enhanced low and high frequencies for added presence and projection.
Built-in bass and treble controls offer precise tonal adjustment to match your instrument and playing environment, while the integrated echo effect adds natural ambience that makes practicing more enjoyable. The amplifier angles back to function as an effective personal monitor during performances, ensuring you hear yourself clearly without overwhelming your audience. This versatile positioning makes the FLY 3 Acoustic equally suitable for home practice, small venue performances, or intimate acoustic sessions.
The FLY 3 Acoustic operates on either battery power or DC current, providing exceptional portability without sacrificing performance. With up to 55 hours of battery life under normal playing conditions, this amp keeps pace with your most demanding practice schedules and performance needs. The MP3/Line In connection allows you to jam along with backing tracks or use the amp as a high-quality speaker for music playback, while the headphone/speaker emulated line out enables silent practice or direct recording capabilities.

Key Features
Natural Acoustic Tone Reproduction
The specialized 3-inch speaker delivers authentic acoustic sound without the harshness or artificial coloration common in small amplifiers. Blackstar's acoustic-specific voicing ensures your instrument's natural character remains intact, whether you're playing delicate fingerstyle passages or driving rhythm parts that fill the room.
Switchable EQ Shapes
Two distinct EQ shapes provide instant tonal versatility—choose flat response for pure, uncolored acoustic reproduction, or engage the mid-cut setting with enhanced bass and treble for added projection and presence. This simple switch gives you professional-quality tone shaping without complicated controls or extensive tweaking.
Built-In Echo Effect
The integrated echo effect adds natural ambience and depth to your playing, creating a more immersive practice experience and enhancing live performances. This thoughtfully designed effect complements acoustic instruments perfectly, adding space and dimension without overwhelming your core tone or clarity.
Extended Battery Life
Enjoy up to 55 hours of operation under normal playing conditions with standard batteries, making the FLY 3 Acoustic ideal for extended practice sessions, outdoor performances, and situations where power outlets aren't available. The option for DC power operation ensures you're never without amplification when you need it most.
