The FLY 3 Sugar Skull is an innovative, cutting edge 3 watt mini amp which combines two channels, tape delay and the Blackstar patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) to create the perfect compact and portable guitar amplifier. It's advantageously small and packs a punch with big TONE, even at the lowest volumes.FlyfOn the FLYHuge Tone, Small SizeRather than just being focussed on its look and compact size and ultimately sacrificing the quality of sound, the FLY 3's unique design delivers the same tonal balance and feel of a larger guitar amp even at low volumes.Sonic PerformanceThe use of a full range driver eliminates the need of a subwoofer. This has the benefit of removing the requirement for a crossover and the negative sonic impact that can have. The key part of a guitar's tone occurs in the frequencies that are normally affected by a crossover and for music playback the performance is similar to nearfield monitors.Attention to DetailCountless 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.Not Just a Guitar Amp...Guitar AmplifierTired of moving your large amp around? The FLY 3 combines awesome tone and features in a lightweight and compact battery-powered format, giving you the perfect take-anywhere mini amp.Stereo Computer SpeakersConnect to the FLY 103 cabinet (sold separately) for a 6w stereo setup - perfect for use with your computer or any other device capable of being connected via the FLY 3's MP3 / LINE IN jack.Your Tunes, Anywhere.Hours of research and development time were dedicated to the FLY 3 and Fly 103 to ensure they deliver the ultimate sonic performance as a portable music speaker. The FLY 3 is battery powered and has a competition beating battery life (when set at around half volume) meaning you can listen to your tunes or play your guitar for hours.Patented ISFFLY 3 comes equipped with our patented ISF EQ, allowing you to effortlessly dial in incredible sounds. Fully counter clockwise has an American characteristic with a tight bottom end and aggressive middle. Fully clockwise has a British characteristic which is more 'woody' and less aggressive.Emulated Line OutFLY 3 also features Emulated Line Out, perfect for 'silent' practice or home recordings, keep your Blackstar tone no matter the volume.In-built 'Tape' DelayThe FLY 3 comes features an in-built 'tape' delay effect with time and level controls. Dial in ambience from characterful slapback to epic-sounding long repeats.Organic Cleans & OverdrivesThe overdrive channels on the FLY 3 have been meticulously designed to clean up with your guitar volume, just like your main amp would. This allows for endless tonal textures and an addictive playing experience.

Great sound. Only negative is the lack of a power cord.

5 stars

It exceeded expectations.  I had a small 9v "smokey" amp a while back and figured this was going to be a glorified toy, but it isn't.  Tone is nice, clean, and crunchy when overdriven.  Tape delay effect is easy to play with so you can play some U2 or Pink Floyd.  I can play guitar in my home office without waking my wife and kids.

One thing, not the product but the description - it came with 6 AA batteries, but not a wired power supply.  The description said power supply was in the box.

I opened the box and I can't stop playing!

Love it. More options than I thought. The delay is a great feature. Having a portable amp makes for so many more hours playing. Quality compared to normal amps under $150 is fine, much better than I expected. Purchase exceed my expectations especially because I got it 15$ off.

Awesome

Everything works great and we take it traveling so we can play our music. 
Thanks

The FLY 3 has the most realistic sounding tube amp emulations and many of the best attributes found in legendary amps. It has an endless variety of timbres and can easily go from bell like clarity to a punchy overdrive. Plug in your favorite guitar, use your best microphones, headphones and cables with this battery powered wonder and you’ll get the same satisfying results I’ve been enjoying. I know I’ll never look back. I’m not affiliated with Blackstar.
