Blackstar Amps ID:Series full demo with Steve Marks | PMTVUK

[@stevemullen7979]

This guy is such a great player. His precision is remarkable. This is easily the best demo of blackstar amps you will get...

[@IAmSteveMarks]

Thank you buddy! Appreciate your kind words

[@MrLespaul2000]

Spot on demo straight to the point no muckin around humerous chap and good player too,nice one,we need more demos like these!

[@PMTVUK]

We'll do as many demo's as we have time and amps for ! Thanks Mr LP.

[@LABRAXGR]

+MrLespaul2000 couldnt agree more !!!

[@stevedewdney6978]

I love these amps so much I bought three of them! So versatile, never a bad sound, easy to dial in great tones.. and the digital reverb stereo effects are to die for. Awesome guys.

[@stonechurch1988]

These are fantastic amps in their own right I have a TVP15 watt for home practice and TVP260 for gigging I also have regularly gigged my Katana 100 and Marshall DSL 40CR and as much as I love all 3 amps I really find the TVP most usable ...... especially when clean tones are equally important as the gain tones and a bonus on top is the tuner built into the foot switch

[@SteveReynoldsGuitarist]

The best demo I've seen on these amps, shows much more the range of tones and styles that this amp is capable of. Well done guys

[@HDBT_]

This is by far the best demo I have ever seen, thank you so much. Really enjoyable and on point.

[@kyleritter3701]

Update: Got my ID 100 head. Running it through a full stack. A Bugera straight cab and a Laney slanted cab on top of it. All I have to say is wow. It sounds absolutely massive. Even at low volumes. Being in 2 rock cover bands this amp is a dream. All of the hype about this amp is all true. My tube amp is out the door. Lol

[@alfie1951]

I'm actually in the market for a new stage amp at the minute and searched KZbin for a decent review of this particular amp. Lots of heavy metal and shred reviews which tell you nothing at all about the bloody amp. Then I came across this review; spot on! Excellent playing from Steve Marks and a great way of getting across the amp's capabilities by referencing various chords and licks that then indicate to me exactly what amp type he is emulating. Tells me exactly what I want to know about the amplifier's capabilities. Thanks Steve.

[@davidhunter3762]

Great demo!! I have a ID:60TVP which I've had for about a year but I'm still discovering the almost endless possibilities of the amp. Great with or without pedals in front, and this video helps even more :-)

[@joecrowsantibanez1733]

By far the best demo I have seen on the ID Amps . Thanks. I'm going to buy one.

[@Sisidis]

This review convinced me ! I buy ID 60 combo and super. It plays super quiet like a tube, and holding a long tone. Bravo Blackstar David

[@peterschmidt9942]

After owning this amp for years, I've only ever dialed in a Marshall sound with a boost. I finally got off my arse to see what else it could do! Nice demo of how to get some additional sounds

[@roberth7399]

blackstar did a great job on this ID series I got the id tvp head and it rocks no need for pedals, I have tube amps JVM and 6505 heads their put away good job blackstar:) the metal tone is spot on OD2 6L6 is my favorite

[@TomsRockHouse]

Great review. Glad I own the ID60. You really digged into the great possibilities of the amp. Thanx!

[@tisucasas]

I've seen this videos a thousand time and never get tired because of the excellent guitar Player.He's got an awesome Style.

[@kingstumble]

This is easily the best demo of the ID and has made me think very seriously about getting one. All the other reviews/demos I have seen didn't impress me at all and I had dismissed it as 'just another modeller'.But this has made me think again,so thanks to all concerned.

[@MAGROLA43]

I got a Blackstar ID 100 TVP 250w and You help me a lot to make a basics sounds . Thank You so much ! I’m almost senior men! Lol

[@ianmac93]

The best demo I have seen in a long time.

[@DmitriSkif]

The BEST ID Series video I've seen! Decided to buy ID15 TVP immediately )))

[@hutchfromba]

I love the idea and concepts with this Amp . Blackstar has quickly become my favorite amplification company . I do think that I will wait for the V2 of this technology so the output to the speakers (in volume) doesn't depend on the ohms (or at least 8 ohm instead of 4 ohm) . I don't run a 4x12 . I received this note from Blackstar . - As a matter of fact it is perfectly safe to use any speaker cabinet rated between 4 - 16 Ohms. The 4 Ohm marking relates to the 'minimum' load the amp will accept. As it is a solid state power section it works somewhat differently to valve power sections. In general you get full power at 4 Ohms, aorund two thirds power at 8 Ohms and around a third of the power at 16 Ohms.

[@Angusrather]

Fantastic demo and a fantastic guitarist!

[@kyleritter3701]

Ordering the 100 watt head. Can't wait to ram it through my full stack at our next gig!

[@gr3hn]

waiting for my ID30TVP! Steve Marks, sick player and seller!

[@agile654321]

Cheers Steve unbelievable Blackstar demo.Keep em coming Good Day

[@robertc.3186]

very good demo - I just ordered one !

[@edwinmartinez9787]

amazing player again British are born with an instrument in there hand you guys are great.

[@PMTVUK]

Blackstar ID Series amps offer a wealth of amp models, power valve and effects options in one easy to use unit. Check out Steve Marks demo of this amazing range....

[@ramarazzz]

NevadaMusicUK i can't seem to save my patches properly??? Every time I save and turn it off and turn it back on my patches are gone...

[@ericsrandomstuff9233]

ramarazzz Sounds like your amp is still in demo mode. To exit demo mode, hold down the Manual button while turning the amp on. You need to hold the manual button while the bank led cycles through 3 colours, then turns off.

[@DeadShred9]

Wish I had known The ID:Core series didn't offer the TVP option !! It was not clearly stated to me!! The patch function was pushed out front but they didn't mention no amp modeling would be available with that Series . I like the amp a lot very good amp but they really should offer a software upgrade offering at least 3 or 4 TVP voices to people like me who feel cheated . The whole patch concept really doesn't work as well without the TVP aspect of the amp . BUYER BEWARE . Im not sure if I will buy BlackStar again because of this and I really like the amp but didn't get what I was lead to believe !!!

[@jerrygallant2890]

Got the ID 260 coming today ! Can't wait to tear the roof off this place with my Les Paul . Hoping to get some 'Marksy' like tones from this monster .

[@oliquidificador]

Great demo! Will buy an ID60 soon

[@extremeloco23]

this was a beautiful review. Ordering one now.

[@TheThinker39]

Excellent demo! Thanks.

[@kevinbrooks6265]

man steve,your playing kicks some serious ass! seriously dude!

[@Doug5524]

That was a first class review thank you

[@lucaspires8833]

Great demonstration and review!! You really got me by playing stranger in this town =D

[@pirajeant]

Great playing, great démo and Great Amp.

[@craighornsby78]

Thanks, pretty much the best review on this amp on here.

[@mmolnar360]

These amps sound awesome! I'm thinking about replacing my HT Stage 60 with one of these.

[@tonepimp1431]

Actually loving this Amp

[@radosny22]

awesome tone!!

[@IamtheActionman]

Excellent demo

[@Macpreth]

Great demo, nice playing !!

[@rubentrevino6288]

superb demo dude

[@hutchfromba]

100W Head with a 16 ohm Cabinet is about 35W or so (valve loud) . It is more than enough at most pubs or wedding halls . 8 ohm cabinet will give you about 66W (valve loud) and a 4 ohm Cab will give you a 100W (valve loud) . Overall , it's an impressive amp . Kudos to Blackstar ! Blues On .

[@Stratblooz]

Great demo !

[@bobphillips6356]

ok Steve you,v sold me well done mate ...Rockin Bob wales uk

[@itsonlyrocknroll22]

Superb Demo, Love the Blackstar motto " The Sound in your head" as this really does seem to have every sound ive ever dreamt of, so much so ive just ordered the ID 100 TVP, I often wondered when it would be when the ultimate every tone, feel amp would come out, £10 bet that theyll do one with valves next - time will tell, but what a fab & exciting time it is to play guitar - Bye Bye to my Marshall JCM200 sorry Marshall, but you really should be on to this and be quick before someone else does

[@stefanerceg89]

actually marshall made something like this 3 years ago, check out marshall JMD1 probably the best marshall amp ever made. I'm gigging with that amp 2 years and I'm very satisfied. You should try that amp out. Cheers mate

[@stevecolledge8355]

Great Demo thanks.

[@bobandtheevilturnips]

I m trying my best to get an American metal tone (quite similar to Jeff loomis etc) and I used the same setup as he did for the maiden song but with the isf the other way and I can't get close. Any tips?

[@russellhall55]

One of the best demos of this amp.The 6L6 setting is kick ass and the effects are boss (not the company lol)

[@JOHNKUHNMUSIC]

Great Demo! Very thorough and well illustrated! Im kinda torn between a PV Classic 30 and the ID:30/60 Combo. Only because this Foot Controller looks quite intimidating to an old 60s/70s Guy. The manual is pretty Vague. Being a lead singing player , I GOTTA have presets on the fly.Cant find ANY ID foot switching demos anywhere!!!. If anyone knows of a link, PLEASE post it. Thanks.

[@hutchfromba]

In the very near future , I'm buying the Blackstar ID 100W Head.

[@Tatkovladko]

Thumb up for the WINDMILL!

[@johnland82]

I played on one recently (and oredered one!), and it seems to have tons of gain capabilities.

[@WallyBoots]

Thanks, I do see where you're going with that.

[@xDark91x]

Guys i have a question... ID260 combo 2x12 where i'll replace the stock speakers with 2 V30 8-16 ohm or ID 60 head with harley benton g212 with v30??

[@AtTheSourceStudios]

The 260 is the way to go man. Super wide stereo effects put it on another level and the cab is awesome sounding. Get the 8ohm v30s.

[@Fbregy]

Great Review.

[@bobphillips6356]

By the way just orderd it the 100w head ..thanks Steve Rockin Bob Wales uk

[@MrGlasstech]

Great job on the demo - which speaker cab were you playing through?

[@danielfismannigri754]

hi ! that's a huge sounds ! I've got my Id 100 tvp head and love it ! I use it with a 2x12" with a nordik ghalahorn (a Brazilian speaker) but I think that's not enough. could you advise me a good speaker where I can get a similar sound from yours? I dont want to but a new cabinet . just want to change the speaker . many thanks !

[@MrJzlavallee]

8:05 dat Clapton.. that was beautiful.

[@Akyuz1000]

I'm looking into getting the 150 Version of the Head and I'm wanting to know if a 1x12 would still work ok with the 150 Head.

[@MrEstpas71]

Great and promissing demo. But my concerne is how keeps up in a band setting? For example: i've had a Fender Hot rod deluxe 3 which sounded great at home but absolutely didn't deliver in rehearsals... And i meant not only volume but also 'headroom'!

[@JMoore68]

I had that concern as well, but I took a chance. It kills in a band setting. KILLS! :)

[@Jacksonade]

There is only one thing that doesnt make this the best amps in the world. The dont have the looks, the legends, and the name of Marshall, but soundwise. Unbelivable!

[@hutchfromba]

[@MrJazzedBlues]

Nice review, what speaker cabinet did you use ? I've got the TDP:15 couple a days ago and I think the speaker in it is to "boomy" escpecially when using clean channels. Seems like there is an unwanted resonance starting between low B and up to low D on the 5 & 6 string. I can't here this on this video. I'm using a Gibson Midtown Custom. I tried to remove the back of the amp but that didn't help much to the sound. Maybe change the speaker to a Jensen 10" or like. What you think ?

[@ecsrvjh]

Nice sound but only at low volume effects get muddy when you raise the volume took on stage last night and after a few songs into first set I had to ditch the amps effects and push a clean patch with my Boss me-70 huge mistake buying this amp for gigging $600 for a clean channel I could've just dished out $179 at guitar center for an Acoustic 2x12 budget combo

[@johnland82]

That really depends on taste, it is totally subjective. I think most of the pickups that come in lower end Epiphones are terrible, and I don't care for them in most any amp. But, that is me! I've heard some great epis, and if they sound good on one amp, they'll sound good on a versatile amp like this.

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Great demo, at 5:41 what song is that?

[@JediGuitarMaster429]

I feel stupid for not knowing this... But what's the riff at :25?

[@Mendelian]

Van Halen - Ain't talkin' bout love

[@bennettskb555]

excellent demo, seems like things have moved on from the avt days

[@SpookeyEyeGhost]

That's true of a lot of low end guitars though. When you get into the higher priced Epi's,( Standard,Custom etc.) with the Alnico Classic or Probucker pickups, you get better tone. The best Epi Les pauls I've tried are the 2013 Prophecy Ex/ Gx. I love my Ultra 2, but really want an Prophecy for heavier stuff. Go to $400 and up, and they usually sound good.

[@1969MARKETING]

looks like Blackstar doesn't make a lot of the ID series anymore. is it still worth getting and how does it compare to the Boss Katana?

[@iliana_b]

They have updated the ID Series to the Silverline Series.

[@DrSuess360]

Would this beast be too loud for a bedroom setting??

[@christosvasiliou219]

when you play with the best guitar is awesome...when you play with an epiphone lp standar is still good? iam thinking to buy thiS one(15w) an ht5cror a studio 20 heeelp( iwant it for home and school

[@seanyamada6830]

Do they still make the heads? I visited our local music store and the heads were all gone

[@michaelbell75]

No but guitar center and musicians friend have a newer 150 watt version of this for $399 thats even better. The TVP is always on.

[@susnikslayer]

Hey guys! Can anybody help me, please, I have contacted Official Blackstar website (with no answer), I watched all Official and unofficial reviews, but still I have problems with saving my sound settings on the Blackstar ID(30) series. I change the sound settings on the control panel, then I hold one of the channel buttons button (so the channel buttons start to blink), then I choose on wich bank and channel I would like to save that specific sound, and then I hold the manual button so everything shuts down, only the recoil light turns green. Now here is the problem, when I shut it down, the next day none of the sounds are saved and I need you to tell me what am I doing wrong? Must I click the manual button, before I change my settings? Thank you in advance! Tilen

[@AndrewRyan716]

Tilen Sušnik Is the amplifier still in demo mode? It is possible that this is issue. Try holding the "manual" button down while powering up the amp (the bank LED should go from red, to orange, to green and then turn off). This might help if you haven't already solved your problem.

[@adrianmutimer5022]

I get conflicting input about these amps. Some long time valve guys say it is close, but it is not quite there. Others say it is there and have sold their valve gear. My problem is I have no experience of playing valve amps. All I know is I love good clean tones and have heard other players get them with a valve amp...Dilema...not sure what to do...

[@ChrisMusickx]

So I'm thinking about buying the 60watt head but does it have enough gain to play like modern metal stuff (djent,hardcore,metalcore) Please help meeeeee

[@lewisbarnes]

I was shocked to hear Stranger In This Town at 12:30

[@jaychen2000metal]

I have a white faced tweed ? Id 150 head. Is that newer or older?

[@mrsig5163]

Newer..

[@dannydoo123]

Ask Steve to come round mine coz i get nothin like this outta mine. I bought the amp on this demo. I got it home now it sits in the corner. I have an awful lot to learn LOL

[@PMTVUK]

If you're struggling feel free to pop into the shop and we can dial in some sweet tone for ya!

[@dannydoo123]

That sounds Awesome Thank you

[@takoloko1211]

Name of the song he is playing 0:24 please..?? Sounds cool

[@chrisdonaldson660]

Ain't talking about love - Van Halen

[@kvapa94]

It is the 60 watt head version enough to play gigs ? :)

[@thedandynandy]

Think of it this way. You need 10x the power to double the volume of an amp. So a 100w amp is only twice as loud as a 10w amp. I have one and run it through an Avatar 2x12 live and it's plenty

[@EvilMP5]

It depends on the size of the venue and natural acoustics of the venue play a significant part. I have seen people use the 60w with a signal booster. Because if you run it through the house PA if they have anything worth it a damn it will be loud enough. I play mine through a Orange 212 closed back and it does really good with thrash, nu-metal and old school heavy metal.

[@yotatech]

What is the name of the Iron Maiden song at 10:30?

[@JMoore68]

Number of the Beast :D

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Also, at 10:30, what song?

[@RichardCollier434]

i have the boss katana 100 and im going to get the id 260.

[@carlosandchrlys7889]

Price please?????

[@wildamendez]

Hello Steve what is your email again??

[@michaelmiller7909]

I think I get where he's going with that.

[@Rich6Brew]

All well and good until the FS-10 pedal develops a mind of its own. After that, good luck.

[@derajrm]

the only knock i have on this thing is that there's no loop. Other than that...wow

[@raypage839]

Jared P yes you can...with insider software

[@itsonlyrocknroll22]

Ps... And a realisitc price too!

[@kyleritter3701]

O and selling my tube amp too. Lol

[@theverbalrelease]

Shame about the whole economy being crap, and my personal economy being crap along with it, otherwise I'd get one of these little beauties and gently rub it on my body.

[@Cha1kieDog]

WTF??? Why are there add in the middle of the video??? This is a totally messy up! Thumbs down for the vid... thumbs up for the amp.
