Amazing Acoustic Combo Amp from Blackstar

Acoustic guitar enthusiasts who want pure amplified tone will love the Acoustic:Core 30 combo amp from Blackstar. This compact, lightweight amp features two 5-inch speakers driven by 30 watts of power and separate instrument and mic channels. The Acoustic:Core 30 is also loaded with a wide array of tone-shaping options. To begin, two switchable EQ shapes give you either a flat response or a mid-cut with some low and high boost. There is also an independent EQ and built-in Reverb and Chorus effects for each channel that let you dial in your tone to your desire.

Lots of tone options!

When you want to push the envelope a bit, Super Wide Stereo effects provide a really cool, analog-style tone. Here at Sweetwater, we love the USB port that lets you record your instrument and vocals directly, giving you lots of rehearsal options for improving your performance. And, an MP3/line input is ideal for jamming and listening to music. The Acoustic:Core 30 can also be tilted back to act as a monitor during your performance!

Blackstar Core 30 2 x 5" 30 watt Acoustic Amp

As others have said this amp has a bunch of Great Features in a Small Package. I use the 2nd input for my Digitech Control Out for my drum/bass machine and run the guitar to the 1st channel. Perfect for what I am trying to do. Makes the guitar sound like what it supposed to be.... an Acoustic guitar. Very Pleased when this amp went on sale. The Line Out is Perfect for gigging out and sends an Excellent Signal to the board.
Waiting for the pole mount which will complete the package.
Fast, Free Shipping from Sweetwater. Thanks !
I might have to get one for each of the other band members when they go on sale again. Buy It !

Best acoustic amp best value

This amp is loud enough for solo performances, it's all you may ask to stream and record videos singing and playing thanks to the audio input that offers stunning high audio quality for recording purposes, sound quialitt is excellent, portability is matchless, channel for vocals is amazing , you can use it also as an audio interface it and you can also plug a battery bank separate that will allow you to use it unplugged for 5 hours or more , I think this amp gives you so much for less that you can go wrong with this , I'm so happy with my Bkackstar acoustic core 30.

Blackstar acoustic

I had the Roland AC-33, but this one outdoes it for less than 1/2 the price. The feed to iPhone is great, the xlr out sends the effects! I've made 2 videos with it, here's one...So far I really like it!

I LOVE this little guy!!

First off... with this price point, it's hard to go wrong. But I'll tell you right now... it punches way above its belt. The sound mix quality with the vocals and instrument is out of this world. I wish I could buy a beefier version of this, I would do it without any hesitation so that I could use it in large venues. I still use it to run my own personal mix in small venues thanks to the d.i. output in the back... I run it through my board, but just use my board to control the line level volume into my speakers and you also probably would want to use some sort of personal monitor preamp just to makes things easy and simple. My only gripe is that no one keeps the accessory items made for this amp in stock in the US. I've got all of them on backorder, except I did receive the battery pack which works amazingly. I'm still waiting on the stand adapter and foot pedal. How awesome would it be to run this small setup including a couple of pedals without needing to plug into an outlet. So cool. The amp is really strong for just 30 watts. I am blown-away impressed by Blackstar's little amp here. The ability to connect it to your phone and livestream with the same quality sound it puts out is nothing short of amazing! There is nothing out there at this price point that comes close to this for an at-home amp. You will not regret it. Buy one for yourself and then go out and buy one for a friend... they'll love you for it!
