In addition to amplifiers, Blackstar produces a variety of effects pedals designed to complement their amplification systems. These pedals offer guitarists a range of tonal options, from classic overdrive and distortion to modulation and delay effects. The HT-Dual and HT-Delay pedals are particularly popular among players for their versatility and sound quality.

With a commitment to innovation, quality, and performance, Blackstar continues to be a trusted name in the guitar amplifier industry, providing guitarists with reliable and versatile amplification solutions that deliver exceptional tone and performance in a variety of musical genres and settings.

Guitar Effect Pedal

A guitar pedal, also known as an effects pedal, is a device used by guitarists to alter the sound of their instrument in various ways. These pedals are typically small, foot-operated units that are connected in a signal chain between the guitar and the amplifier. They can modify the guitar’s tone, pitch, and dynamics by applying different effects such as distortion, reverb, delay, chorus, and more. Guitar pedals come in both analog and digital formats, and they allow musicians to create a wide range of sounds, enhancing their musical expression and creativity. They are essential tools for guitarists in genres ranging from rock and blues to jazz and electronic music.

PedalBoard

A pedalboard is a flat surface or board that guitarists use to organize and connect multiple guitar effects pedals together in a single, portable unit. It serves as a centralized platform for mounting and arranging pedals, cables, and power supplies, allowing for easy access and control during live performances, rehearsals, or studio sessions. Here are some key components and features of a typical pedalboard:

1. **Board**: The main surface or platform of the pedalboard where the pedals are mounted. Pedalboards come in various sizes and materials, such as wood, aluminum, or composite materials. The board may have a slatted or perforated design to accommodate cable routing and mounting hardware.

2. **Pedal Mounting**: Pedals are attached to the pedalboard using hook-and-loop fasteners (e.g., Velcro) or pedalboard-specific mounting brackets. This allows for easy removal and rearrangement of pedals while providing stability and security during use.

3. **Cable Management**: Pedalboards often include features for organizing and routing cables neatly, such as cable ties, cable clips, or cable channels. This helps minimize cable clutter and keeps the pedalboard tidy and organized.

4. **Power Supply**: Many pedalboards come with built-in power supplies or mounting options for external power sources. Power supplies provide the necessary voltage and current to power multiple pedals simultaneously, eliminating the need for individual battery power or multiple power adapters.

5. **Patch Cables**: Patch cables are used to connect the input and output jacks of each pedal on the pedalboard. They come in various lengths and configurations, including straight and right-angle plugs, to accommodate different pedal layouts and signal routing requirements.

6. **Effects Order**: The order in which pedals are arranged on the pedalboard can affect the overall sound and tone of the guitar signal. Guitarists often experiment with different pedal orders to achieve their desired tone, typically placing dynamics and filtering effects (e.g., compressors, EQs) first in the signal chain, followed by modulation effects (e.g., chorus, phaser), and ending with time-based effects (e.g., delay, reverb).

7. **Transportation**: Some pedalboards include features for easy transportation and protection, such as carrying handles, padded cases, or flight cases. These features make it convenient for guitarists to transport their pedalboards between gigs or rehearsals while keeping their pedals safe and secure.

Overall, a pedalboard serves as a centralized hub for organizing, powering, and controlling guitar effects pedals, providing guitarists with a versatile and customizable platform for shaping their tone and sound. Whether it’s a compact pedalboard for small gigs or a large, multi-tiered setup for elaborate effects rigs, pedalboards are essential tools for guitarists looking to explore and expand their sonic possibilities.

Blackstar Fly 3 Black Portable Battery Powered Mini Electric Guitar Amp MP3 Line In & Headphone Line Out

£69.00 £59.00

Huge Tone, Small Size Rather 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 Performance The 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 Detail Countless 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. Patented ISF FLY 3… read more
