Blackstar ID:Core10 V4 Modelling Combo

Blackstar IDCV4-10 Modeling Combo Amp — Studio-Grade Tones in a 10W Practice Package

The Blackstar IDCV4-10 ID:CORE V4 Stereo 10 is a compact 10W modeling combo amp delivering immersive Super Wide Stereo sound, six enhanced voices, and studio-quality effects in a desk-sized package. Designed by the same R&D team behind Blackstar's professional amplifiers, it brings genuine amp modeling and direct USB-C recording to home practice. Weighing 3.7 kg, this model slips easily between a bedroom, a dorm room, and a small stage.

Super Wide Stereo, ISF Tone Shaping, and CabRig Lite

Blackstar's patented Super Wide Stereo technology runs through two dedicated 76 mm speakers, creating an immersive stereo image beyond what most practice amps deliver. The patented ISF sweeps the EQ curve from American-style tightness to British-style warmth, while CabRig Lite — Blackstar's next-generation cabinet simulator — shapes the headphone and USB outputs for finished silent practice and direct recording.

10W Stereo Power with 1W Practice Mode

The stereo power stage delivers 10W total through two Blackstar 76 mm speakers for room-filling bedroom practice. A dedicated Power Reduction button drops output to 1W for neighbor-friendly late-night playing.

• Power Output: 10W (2x5W Super Wide Stereo) — full output for group rehearsal
• Power Reduction: 1W mode — drop volume without losing tonal character
• Two dedicated 76 mm Blackstar speakers handle the stereo image independently

Six Enhanced Voices and Twelve Built-In Effects

Six enhanced voices — Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD1, and OD2 — cover pristine cleans through high-gain overdrive. The ISF control blends American and British tonal signatures, while twelve built-in effects add studio-grade depth in stereo.

• Voices: Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD1, OD2 — full range from clean to high gain
• EQ: Patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) — single-knob sweep across American/British curves
• Twelve built-in effects — four delays, four modulations, four reverbs — run in stereo with Tap tempo

USB-C Recording, TRRS Streaming, and Architect Software

USB-C turns the amp into a 4-channel audio interface for low-latency recording and re-amping, while a TRRS 3.5mm jack streams audio directly to a smartphone. The free Architect software unlocks deep patch editing, CabRig Lite cabinet simulation, and online patch sharing.

• USB-C: 4-channel audio interface — record and re-amp without extra hardware
• TRRS Streaming: 3.5mm input/output — direct-to-phone livestreaming
• Free Architect software unlocks deep patch editing, CabRig Lite cabinet simulation, and online patch sharing

Home Players, Beginners, and Content Creators

Home guitarists and bedroom players who need genuine amp modeling, real effects, and silent-practice capability in a single compact unit will find everything here. The IDCV4-10 is the right choice for content creators who need a TRRS streaming jack and USB-C audio interface for recording and livestreaming. Beginners benefit from guitarist-friendly top-panel controls and the built-in chromatic tuner.
