Description
The Blackstar ID:X 100 is a 100-watt 1x12 digital modeling combo for guitarists who want one amp for gigs, recording and practice. Six amp voices, a three-way valve response switch and Blackstar's patented ISF give it a wide range of tones, and four effect blocks with an OLED display put deep editing on the front panel. A three-position power switch runs it at 100, 10 or 1 watt.
Tone and Response
Voices run from Clean Warm and Clean Bright through Crunch and Super Crunch to the high-gain OD1 and OD2. Bass, Middle and Treble interact like a traditional tone stack, and ISF moves the voicing between a tight American character and a woodier, less aggressive British one. The Response switch emulates EL84, EL34 or 6L6 power valves, and holding Tap turns the Gain, Bass and Treble knobs into noise gate, Resonance and Presence controls.
Effects and Recording
Pre FX, Modulation, Delay and Reverb blocks run at the same time, and the Pre FX block covers boosts, overdrives, distortions, fuzzes and compressors. The amp stores 99 patches in 33 banks of three, with nine on the front panel and the rest reachable from Architect, a footcontroller or MIDI. CabRig, Blackstar's IR-based speaker simulation, feeds the XLR DI, the 1/4-inch line and headphone output and USB-C, and the Master knob leaves the CabRig level alone for silent recording.
