Six preamp voices span clean country twang through razorsharp funk, classic rock crunch, and blazing modern metal saturation. 128 programmable presets store complete amp and effects settings. Blackstar's ISF tone control adds American-to-British character shaping. Built-in effects, USB connectivity for re-amping, and a speaker-emulated output make it a complete studio and gigging modeling platform.
