Blackstar ID:Core BEAM guitar amplifier

Blackstar Amplification is a prestigious British brand founded in 2007 by a group of former Marshall Amplification employees who sought to create more flexible tone-shaping tools for guitarists. The ID:Core BEAM (Bluetooth, Electric, Acoustic, and Bass) model shown is a versatile practice amplifier designed for home use, functioning as both an instrument amp and a high-quality Bluetooth speaker.

While the brand's design and engineering take place in Northampton, United Kingdom, manufacturing is primarily carried out in China to ensure global accessibility and competitive pricing. The brand remains under its original founding management, maintaining its identity as a specialist in guitar technology and innovation.
