Bluetooth model review. Small and sounds pretty good! Here are the measurements.

Bluetooth model review. Small and sounds pretty good! Here are the measurements.
Note: this is a review for the BLUETOOTH model, as some people will want that. I’ve attached a photo of the Blackstar beside my Roland MicroCube, which is about 9x9” height and width and can also run on batteries. The Roland is a much better amp, of course, but the Blackstar is great for traveling or practicing in a living room. The question here is whether it will meet your minimum requirements. I play swing and gypsy swing, so I want a good clean line where I can increase thickness of the sound by turning up the gain while turning down the volume knob a bit. I need a passable acoustic guitar sound for gypsy jazz, but also adequate tone for jazz soloing. I have a little Washburn Rover travel guitar that has a very nice neck and is very playable, but the acoustic sound is very quiet. I’ve installed in it both a piezo pickup and a Kent Armstrong jazz pickup, and they work either separately or together. I spend a couple weeks a year st a resort in Mexico where I sit in the shade on the beach near the crashing waves and play while my band—on my iPad—backs me up. The guitar by itself is not loud enough. I usually use a little round Altec speaker with Bluetooth with the iPad, and that is loud enough for my practicing with a mandolin. But not with this guitar. I wanted a tiny amp that will play Bluetooth from my iPad while also amplifying my guitar.The Blackstar is tiny, though much bigger than the Altec speaker. It weighs just under two pounds, and it is small enough to fit easily in my suitcase. Note: for Bluetooth, read the instructions and note the different meanings for single blinks and double blinks when setting it up with a new device. It’s easy, but there’s an unexpected step. So read it. Also, to get sound, turn up all the knobs. You might think it’s broken, otherwise.It’s very quiet—no annoying hums by itself. The EQ knob works well but is more cold to warm than treble to bass—very nice. It sounds good at all levels, but it changes to different sounds. Remember to match the Gain and the Volume knobs to get the tone you want, too. For an acoustic sound with a piezo pickup, turn down the Gain a lot and turn up the Volume. For a clean jazz solo with more thickness, turn up the Gain about halfway, then set the Volume to your likes. Both sound quite good, and without extra noise or distortion. (I hate distortion—if you want that, use the distortion button. I didn’t test it.) Again, the tone is not as compelling as my Roland MicroCube, which is less compelling than my AER which costs a lot more, but it’s acceptable. Volume: I used a decibel amp on myniPad to measure the volume from about two feet away, just asmImdomwoth instruments. I find that I can get a good acoustic strumming sound at about 85 to 90 decibels from a travel guitar I can barely hear. Using the jazz pickup and more gain, I can get about 95 to 98 decibels. The amp will go louder, but it then starts distorting a little. So how loud is that? Most acoustic guitars see, to provide about 85 decibels max, so the acoustic strumming volume is a significant bit louder. However, I have a couple unusually good luthier-made gypsy jazz guitars that easily cruise at 92 decibels and max out at 95. That’s very loud indeed for an acoustic guitar, and matches my Collings mandolin. (I do have a shrill travel mandolin that will hit 99 decibels.) Thus, the Blackstar is somewhat louder when clean than any acoustic guitar I’ve ever played. It’s just fine for the beach, or for using your solid-body while jamming with acoustic guitars. It’s great for your hotel room or the porch. You won't want this for your main amp if your band mates have big amps. If your band is playing at 110 decibels or, worse, 120 or 130, this won’t cut it.If you play jazz guitar in an unamplified big band with horns and brass and you can’t hear yourself, but your fellow band members don’t want you to use an amp and blast them out, this is barely noticeable and would give you enough volume to be heard a bit better without having to play as hard. You can use the batteries. By the way, I also bought the Hosa five foot cord, which seems very well made. I’m going to put two inch wide black Velcro around the sides and bottom of this amp (the rough part) and use a longer piece of the soft part of the Velcro to make a strap, so I can toss the amp over my shoulder or hook it to my belt and walk as I play.
