Overview

An inspiring practice amp with pro-level tone shaping.

The Blackstar ID:CORE V4 Stereo 20 combo amp delivers a wealth of inspiring features for guitarists. With its wide stereo design, six distinct amp voices and deep tone-sculpting tools, the ID:Core V4 invites your creativity. Jam with studio-grade effects like delay, reverb and modulation in a lush, immersive space. Easily live stream your playing through your smartphone. Onboard perks like the CabRig Lite cabinet simulator provide pro-level tone refinement. Whether you're a beginner looking for your first real amp or a seasoned player seeking a feature-packed practice solution, the ID:CORE V4 Stereo 20 has you covered.

Immerse Yourself in Super Wide Stereo Sound

The ID:CORE V4 surrounds you with its unique Super Wide Stereo design, utilizing two 5" speakers for a beautifully expansive clean channel. You'll feel like you're playing on a grand stage, with transparent, organic tone. When you engage the drive channels, the amp's stereo voicing adds thickness and girth for a bold, speaker-embracing crunch. Dial in the amount of stereo spread to suit your music. The Super Wide Stereo design makes practice sessions more inspiring and transforms your tone into a living, breathing force.

Sculpt Your Sound With Pro-Level Tone-Shaping

An intuitive control set helps you dial in the perfect tone, fast. Shape your sound with ISF, presence and resonance controls. The patented ISF knob lets you determine the exact tonal signature you want by blending American and British characteristics. Built-in noise gate and density controls allow even more tonal refinement. The ID:CORE V4 also gives you Blackstar's studio-grade modulation, delay and reverb effects to add dimension to your tone. The onboard CabRig Lite impulse-response-based cabinet simulator provides the warmth and feel of miking up a real speaker cab.

Studio-Quality Tones With the CabRig Lite Simulator

Dial in authentic studio tones without mics or amps thanks to the built-in CabRig Lite speaker simulator. The advanced algorithm accurately captures the dynamic interaction between mics and speaker cabinets. Choose from a variety of cabs, mics and positioning options to craft your ideal direct sound. The USB and CabRig outputs let you record directly to your computer with rich, studio-quality tones. CabRig Lite makes it easy to get pro results at home.

Jam Anywhere With Smartphone Compatibility

The ID:CORE V4 Stereo 20 makes live streaming with your smartphone easy. Just connect your phone with a TRRS cable and you can broadcast your playing to your fans. The USB-C port also facilitates direct recording to your computer. These smart connectivity options let you share your music with the world, no matter where inspiration strikes. The ID:CORE V4 truly enables jamming and content creation anytime, anywhere.

Six Amp Voicings Offer Versatile Tonal Options

The six amp voicings built into the ID:CORE V4 serve up a diverse tonal palette. Clean Warm and Clean Bright serve sparkling clean tones, with a loose and tight low end respectively. Crunch produces a sweet classic rock overdrive, while Super Crunch kicks it up a notch for metal. The two hot-rodded overdrives, OD 1 and OD 2, offer articulate tube-like saturation. With this range of gain staging and EQ options, it's easy to conjure the perfect foundational tone for any genre.
