Blackstar Fly 3 PSU Official Power Supply for Fly 3 Mini Portable Amplifier.

Product Information

I’m guessing that they feared that the tiny amp would sound thin with more treble so they make it warmer. An extra switch could enable some DIY feature like changing a resistor value in the preamp for EQ change or extra boost. Its even worse because the earth wires run alongside the mains AC voltage in the same cable sheaths. You might think a low pass filter is just for audio but in fact they're used all over the place in electronics, and in this case on power supply rails. With lighter picking (or playing with guitar volume control), it cleans up nicely without losing clarity.

I was looking for a small, portable battery-powered amplifier that I could play anywhere in the house without having to plug into the laptop or my full rig. Symphony Tech Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, registration number 716065. Can't really get too excited at this product it is a power supply for the Blackstar FLY3, you plug it in and then you don't use the batteries in the amp.It is a bit tricky to turn on the amp though, I have to turn the On button first before plugging to the charger or power bank or it will not work. As you can see, the response with ISF set to zero is very different than the rest of the pot travel, probably caused by the same effect that causes drastic change in tone with guitar’s tone knob at 0 when there’s no resistance in the network. Overdrive is literally what you get when a tube is pushed beyond its voltage limits causing a clip in the top of the waveforms resulting in a slight warm, fat and sometimes, sizzly tone.

Powering our booster directly from batteries would drain them even when the amp is not turned on, so we want to make sure to get the point in the circuit that’s downstream from the power switch. That means Very Low Drop Out, which refers to how close the input and output voltages can get to each other before the IC stops regulating.No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

To finish, here is a block diagram of the Blackstar Fly3, to show how all the circuit parts fit together. A power supply that is little more than a laptop charger and should be supplied with the Amplifier in the first place!

There are some amps that are very decent, but are a bit larger than I need, like Yamaha THR5, Roland Micro Cube and VOX Mini3 G2. which might seem unexpectedly high for a tiny portable 3W amp like this, until you realise that the Class-D power amp (Speaker Board) can demand some hefty current for very short periods, when it pulses the speaker current on and off. It's almost 25 percent less power but I'm assuming it might work as battery-powered gear tends to have a wide range of acceptable voltage. Andertons Music Company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm registration number 716155. FInally (on the subject of the clipping) I would have shown you the waveform on a scope, going into the pre-ISF EQ stage, but my amp is no in bits (a lot of the inter-PCB ribbon wiring fell off) and so I have yet to put it back together.Remember the Speaker Board has a Class-D power amp IC and this will take a lot of current in extremely fast spikes as it switches current to the speaker (See What is a Class-D amplifier?

The optional Extension Speaker cab is a 6 volt powered speaker full of space waiting to be turned into something other than a Blackstar Fly3. In this case it comes out of the power amp Ground connection on the Speaker Board and back to IC9 and beyond. The Blackstar uses the circuit in Fig 22 of the 57152 datahseet where the ADJ pin gets a proportion of the VOUT set by 2 resistors (in the Fly R66 and R67).The minuscule size is one of the biggest strengths of Fly 3, but it’s also a drawback at the same time because such a small speaker cannot provide enough depth in such a small plastic box. com/boss-ds1-analysis (another ElectroSmash circuit analysis) you'll see how the Fly circuit uses the exact same hard clipping arrangement as the Boss DS1 pedal. Fly 3 can be powered by batteries or an optional power adapter (regular pedal adapter will not work as it requires 6.
