Thanks to its incredible sound and cutting-edge features, the ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 also makes a stellar session tool.

The ID:Core V4 Stereo 40's TRRS Line In/Streaming jack enables you to film guitar covers and capture performances directly onto your phone, and its 4-channel USB-C output makes low-latency recording and re-amping a cinch. You also get Blackstar's CabRig Lite emulated output and their brilliant Architect software for deep patch editing and sharing. Finally, the Blackstar ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 is louder than its predecessor, and it includes power reduction down to 1 watt and an eye-grabbing new brushed effect panel for a premium feel.
Tube-modeled tone, rich stereo sound
The ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 comes loaded with six ear-grabbing amp voices that run the gamut from classic and boutique-style cleans all the way to rowdy, hot-rodded high-gain. An array of modulation, delay, and reverb effects arm you with all the ear candy you can handle. Blackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) enables you to dial your drive from American to British character. Meanwhile, its Super Wide Stereo technology makes playing through the ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 a truly immersive experience.
Built for the home, stage, and studio
Thanks to its function-per-knob control scheme, plugging into the Blackstar ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 and rocking out are intuitive affairs. And by virtue of its power reduction feature, you can do so without annoying your neighbors. The ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 includes a 4-channel USB-C audio output for pro-level recording and re-amping, essentially transforming the amplifier into an audio interface. You'll also appreciate its phone-ready bidirectional TRRS streaming jack that lets you connect audio from your media library, jam along, and capture performances directly onto your mobile device. To top it off, the ID:Core V4 Stereo 40's linear speakers reproduce movie, gaming, and music audio playback with full fidelity, enabling you to jam along with anything.
Cutting-edge editing and cabinet emulation
The ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 includes Blackstar's Architect editor, providing you access to deep editing and easy patch sharing. A searchable cloud-based preset list equips the ID:Core V4 Stereo 40 for any sound you can conceive. Here, you can quickly back up an entire set's worth of your presets and reload tones at will. You also get CabRig Lite, Blackstar's next-generation emulated output, with user controls for amp model, cabinet and mic placement, plus more — much like the company's higher-end HT Venue Mk III and St. James amplifiers. Here, you can cycle between Tweedy 12s and British half-stacks and audition endless virtual mic placements to achieve the tone in your head — no mics or stands required.
