Blackstar ID:X 100

Blackstar ID:X 100 Combo

Blackstar ID:X, a new generation of advanced DSP modelling amplifiers created for guitarists who demand intuitive control, powerful tone, and flexible connectivity. Available in both 50 Watt and 100 Watt models, ID:X goes head-to-head with the current market leader delivering a streamlined user experience with unmatched sound quality and versatility.
Built on the foundation of Blackstar’s acclaimed and award-winning ID:Series, Silverline and AMPED, ID:X introduces a discreet user-friendly OLED display, providing instant visual feedback and deep access for editing settings and effects without the need for menu-diving or external devices. The amps feature six carefully designed voices that cover everything from pristine cleans to our signature Blackstar high-gain tones, all shaped by a powerful four-band EQ section including our patented ISF, allowing players to craft their sound with precision.

Effects

Over 35 effects are included, spanning overdrives, distortions, modulation, delays and reverbs. Each effect is fully editable directly from the amp using simple, real-time encoders, making it effortless to dial in tones and jump between different effect types and parameters on the fly.

IR-based technology

ID:X also includes Blackstar’s latest IR-based CabRig™ technology, offering powerful speaker and mic simulation and featuring new In The Room™ technology which creates the experience of standing next to an amp while you play, rather than the more studio focussed tones of traditionally captured IRs – all with a choice of EL84, EL34 and 6L6 valve responses to shape the amp’s dynamic feel. Players can create and store up to 99 patches, with easy recall via the front panel or using the compatible FS-12 or FS-18 footswitches. The amps are fully integrated with Blackstar’s Architect software, providing deep editing, patch management and access to a growing online community where you can create, share and download patches with other users and artists.

Connections for the modern player

With a full suite of modern connections, including balanced XLR out*, USB-C for recording, a ¼-inch line out, headphone output, MIDI in and thru* and an aux input, ID:X is ready for everything from silent practice and studio sessions to full live performance. Selectable power modes (including 1W for quiet playing) make it just as suitable for late-night inspiration as it is for the stage.

Designed for players who want the sound and response of a pro rig without the weight or complexity, ID:X represents a bold step forward in modern amp design. Combining hands-on control with studio-quality tone and next-level flexibility, it’s the all-in-one solution today’s guitarists have been waiting for.
