Key Features
The Blackstar FLY 3 High Gain Mini Amp is a compact 3W practice amp built for players who demand crushing modern gain without sacrificing portability. Expanding on the hugely successful FLY platform, it introduces a dedicated Nitro channel that delivers aggressive saturation, tight low-end punch and articulate distortion tailored for metal, hard rock and punk. Alongside the familiar Clean and Overdrive channels, it offers an impressive range of sounds in a compact format, while the sealed cabinet and custom 3" speaker produce a surprisingly full and powerful voice.
Whether you're practising at home, warming up backstage or travelling light, the FLY 3 High Gain is designed to go wherever inspiration strikes. Blackstar's patented ISF control lets you sweep from tight American-style tones to warmer British voicings, while the built-in digital delay adds depth to your playing. An AUX input makes it easy to jam along with backing tracks, and the emulated line/headphone output provides authentic tones for silent practice or direct recording. Powered by batteries or an optional DC supply, it can be paired with the optional FLY 103 extension cabinet.

The FLY 3 High Gain takes Blackstar's best-selling mini amp platform into heavier territory with the addition of the all-new Nitro channel. Designed specifically for modern rock, metal, punk and alternative styles, it introduces an extra gain stage that produces aggressive saturation while maintaining impressive clarity and note definition. A carefully voiced preamp keeps high-output pickups sounding tight and articulate, delivering crushing rhythm tones and fluid lead sounds without unwanted fizz. Whether you're practising riffs at home or writing new material on the road, the Nitro channel provides inspiring high-gain performance from an incredibly compact amplifier.
The addition of the Nitro channel transforms the FLY 3 High Gain into a versatile three-channel amplifier capable of covering everything from pristine cleans to classic crunch and full modern distortion. Blackstar's patented ISF control gives you the freedom to shape your sound between tight American-style response and warmer British character, making it easy to tailor the amp to your preferred playing style. Combined with the built-in digital delay, the FLY 3 High Gain offers far more flexibility than its compact size suggests.
Whether you're at home, backstage before a show or travelling between rehearsals, the FLY 3 High Gain is ready to perform. It can run on batteries for genuine portability or from an optional DC power supply when mains power is available. The AUX input lets you play along with backing tracks or music from your favourite device, while the emulated line/headphone output delivers authentic Blackstar tone for silent practice or direct recording without disturbing those around you.
Despite its small footprint, the FLY 3 High Gain uses Blackstar's specially tuned sealed cabinet and custom 3" speaker to produce a surprisingly rich, powerful sound. It can also be paired with the optional Blackstar FLY 103 extension cabinet to create a larger stereo mini rig with even greater projection. Finished with styling inspired by the flagship Series One Mk II range, including a brushed control panel, updated grille and metal logo, it looks every bit as aggressive as it sounds.
