Great Green Room Amp!

Blackstar* really did a great job on this combo; although only 3 watts and a 3" speaker, it has plenty of volume for the recommended application of a tabletop amp. It's very loud compared to other 3w micros.

Lots of neat features like a one-knob EQ and compressor and a simulated bass boost, as well as a decent distortion.

I wish there was a bit more control out of the EQ and compressor, but for what it's used for it's more than generous of Blackstar to facilitate these features on a dressing room jammer.
