Overview
The Blackstar ID:Core Stereo 20 V2 is a 2 x 10W two-channel entry-level combo guitar amplifier with twelve enhanced stereo effects, six enhanced Voice channels, and a stereo MP3/line in for jamming along with your favorite tracks or listening to music with super-wide stereo sound. It can be used for a variety of applications such as practicing or recording at home, rehearsing with a band, recording in the studio, or performing live.
The ID:Core combo amplifier features two unique controls which allow you to custom design your own sound. The Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) and the Voice control. The Voice control has the following settings: Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, Overdrive 1, and Overdrive 2. By using the Voice control together with the ISF, you can easily dial in a variety of sounds, giving you the ability to bring the sounds you hear in your head to life.
In addition to its Super Wide Stereo design, the ID:Core's effects section delivers modulation, delay, and reverb effects simultaneously, as well as an envelope filter, which you can store with your sound. The Blackstar Insider software is used to edit and store up to six of your patches and can be uploaded and downloaded via the online community. Finally, a USB connector allows you to record from your amp directly to your computer. A speaker-emulated output and MP3/line input complete the package.

Super-Wide Stereo
Blackstar's unique super-wide stereo technology gives you an immersive sound experience that will have you playing along to your MP3 backing tracks for hours
12 Stereo Effects
12 vintage-style studio-quality effects - 4 modulation, 4 delay, and 4 reverb effects, specially voiced for electric guitar and delivered in massive super-wide stereo
ISF Control
The ISF control works in conjunction with the Tone control. It allows you to choose the exact tone signature you prefer. Fully CCW is a more American characteristic with a tight bottom end and more aggressive middle, and fully CW is a British characteristic which is more woody and less aggressive
Speaker-Emulated Output
The Blackstar emulated output design is a new benchmark for professional direct recording. This design makes it easy to get your tone to disk and tape. You can also use it to run a line out to a PA or for silent practice sessions
