Brilliant addition to an already awesome sounding well designed product
I'd been looking for battery powered amps for a while for a multitude of reasons.
* Instant plug and play
* Portability
* Headphones
I'd tried a few options, and had always avoided the price tag attached to the BlackStar Fly 3 because I couldn't imagine it would be that better than the battery powered amps I had tried already that just seemed like toys.
They either sounded tinny, or distorted, and it wasn't enjoyable playing them.
I finally tried one out myself and instantly bought it along with the extension cabinet.
When we entered lockdown, I was looking for a solution to be able to attend virtual open mics.
There was the obvious choice that seemed to be the standard for when you wanted an option for your guitar and voice, but then this "SuperFly" amp had been released.
At first looks, it didn't seem as sturdy as it's competitors, but then, the same could have been said for the Fly 3. It's size and no frills appearance defies the great tones it produced.
The additions to it looked like it could be a very good setup, if it was built as well as other BlackStar products.
So I purchased the SuperFly amplifier and was mightily impressed with it.
The design, the weight, the features, but more importantly, the sound of it was brilliant!
Two separate channels for guitar and reverb. A specific acoustic setting. It just sounds great with both an electric or an acoustic.
And it's mind boggling to think this is not a tube amp, and that it is battery powered.
I quickly updated my setup to add the powerbank PB-1 so I would always have more than enough batteries (and spare batteries in case I was in a position where I needed to play a 24 hour marathon!).
I was always told I had a great setup and sound on the virtual open mics I joined.
So the natural progression was to purchase the SuperFly Extension Cabinet in order to expand my setup from 12W to 24W and have true stereo sound.
So the Cabinet arrived with the XLR cable included and batteries as well.
All I needed to do was connect it all up, then decide whether to us Dual (both the original SuperFly Amp and the Cabinet with Left and Right channels on both) or to use Split (The original SuperFly Amp operating as the Left Channel and the extension operating as the right channel).
It just sounded fabulous and full.
I tested it in my house, and in that setting, Dual seemed to work better.
Perhaps Split is better suited for outdoor environments to project the sound using the tilt stand on both the amplifier and the cabinet.
I'll be purchasing a second PB-1 Powerbank so that both the amplifier and the cabinet are able to be powered for more than enough time than I should need them for.
But I am very happy.
It's such a great design and setup that sounds amazing and is so easy to use and almost impossible to get a bad sound out of.
I'm so glad I opted for this amp and setup over the defacto standard as it seems that with this extension, and the powerbanks, I have a solution that is far more flexible and capable of being used for longer than it's competitors.
Which is nice.
