Ok!

Good little amp for it’s intended use, and for the price. Sound is marginal.

Mini Amp, BIG Tone
FLY 3 Bass is a compact, innovative mini amp that gives you a huge tone on the go. Combining two selectable channels, a continuously variable mid-cut EQ, Sub bass and a compressor for ultimate control over your dynamics; it's the perfect take-anywhere amp for your bass guitar, phone or table.

Music Playback
The FLY 3 Bass also comes with an MP3 / LINE IN jack built-in, allowing you to connect to your MP3 player, mobile phone, laptop, tablet etc. and jam along to your favourite tracks; the Speaker Emulated Output jack can also be used with headphones or for recording.

Sub Control
The Sub control sets the level of a harmonic generator. This produces an additional low frequency tone that is mixed in with the normal signal. It gives the perception of increased low-end girth and incredible bass from a mini amp.

Science in the Detail
Countless hours were spent on the design of the cabinet to achieve a sonic performance not normally found in a mini amp. The housing is sealed and tuned to ensure optimum tonal response and the material used has been mathematically modelled to have the Young's Modulus of wood. This retains the bass response usually associated with a wooden cabinet.

Silent Practice & Home Recording
FLY 3 also features Emulated Line Out, perfect for 'silent' practice or home recordings, keep your Blackstar tone no matter the volume.

Long Battery Life
Under normal playing condition the FLY 3 Bass lasts for 55hrs of performance time on a single set of AA batteries.

EQ Control
The EQ control allows you to adjust the depth of the EQ curve for preferred tonal response, from relatively flat with a slight mid-range boost, through to a formed mid response with a cut at around 400Hz. The depth of mid-range cut is continuously variable between the two extremes. You will find that the combination of the two channels and the carefully voiced EQ result in a huge range of great bass tones.

Compression Control
COMPRESSION is used to subtly smooth out the dynamic range of an audio signal, therefore softening the peaks and attack, as well as boosting the volume of lower levels which then increases sustain. The compression ratio of the in-built compressor is variable so you can dial in exactly the response you want.

Gain Control
The Gain control adjusts the preamp instrument level and also the amount of overdrive. When the Clean Channel is selected, low to medium settings will deliver a clean sound and as the Gain is increased the sound will gradually become more overdriven. When the Overdrive channel is selected (OD switch) there will be moderate overdrive at all Gain settings, which again increases as the control is turned clockwise.
