Blackstar ID:X 100

The IDX:50 and IDX:100 amplifiers are Blackstar’s latest high-power digital combos, building on the acclaimed original ID Series amplifiers and designed to deliver exceptional sound and versatility in a compact format and go directly up against the current industry leader in the hottest sector of the market, the Boss Katana. Featuring a built-in screen, these models offer intuitive navigation, real time feedback and deep editing of effects. Once an effect is selected, you can access up to 4 individual parameters on the screen to fine-tune the settings of each virtual stompbox. With advanced digital processing, the IDX series provides a broad range of tones to suit guitarists of all levels. Players can easily save and recall custom patches, allowing for quick access to their favourite settings. Combining sleek design with powerful performance, the IDX series is the ultimate all-in-one amplifier.

These deliver incredible sound, feature best in class effects and are incredibly easy to use - no app required. The built-in display screen lets you access all features and controls directly, making it simple to get the most out of your tone.
