AMPLIFIER- BLACKSTAR CORE: ID 40 ...the hard to believe it exists amp???

 BLACKSTAR CORE 40 

First this is NOT a review. This is a heads up of just how far this tech has come in just a few years. 

The amp has a clean and a dirty channel with a Marshall amp voice. It come with all the modulation sounds, a digital delay and digital reverb. It is a stereo amp. It is small but it's a full 40 watts enough for a gigging player.

It even has a pro vibe to the look.

Yes you could get such an amp several years ago.

BIG,BIG BUT!!!  

CONCLUSION

WTF !!! ....$200.00 USD

I bought a used Ibanez with P90's that can rip 

walls down for $280.00 USD. It needed a

2 minute neck adjustment and nothing else

The neck is dead flat, the frets are perfect 

even the paint looks new. I am sure the tuners & 

hardware are Gotoh. It is still killer three 

years later. In fact it is a life time keeper!

Sometimes you get lucky. But this amp

is new ...no luck required.

If needed I could gig with this guitar & amp setup! 

I could sell the amp for half price in a year 

and it would be cheaper than renting. 

So I say again... WTF !!! 

BUT

I don't have to. I have my Marshall & also have my old 1983 

Peavey Bandit 65. But all my life I have been up and I have 

been flat broke with just a guitar and suitcase. It is nice to know 

all the places where they keep the parachutes.
