$99.99
SKU: FLY3HIGHGAIN

The World’s Favorite Small Guitar Amp - Now with More Channels and More Gain

Designed for metal, hard rock and punk players, the Fly High Gain takes the iconic Blackstar Fly platform into heavier territory. Expanding the original two-channel design, it introduces a powerful third channel – Nitro – delivering aggressive high-gain tones with a built-in noise gate to keep everything tight and controlled. 

Key Features:

  • 3 Watt compact guitar amp – battery or DC powered
  • Three channels: Clean, Overdrive and Nitro
  • New Nitro high-gain channel adds an extra gain stage for modern heavy tones
  • ISF (Infinite Shape Feature): patented tone control that moves from tight, scooped US sounds to warm, British drive 
  • Built-in digital delay for added ambience and depth
  • AUX Input to jam along with music or use as a portable speaker
  • Emulated Line Out/Headphone Out for silent practice or recording
  • New Series One Mk II inspired styling

Next-Level Gain: The Power of the Fly High Gain Nitro Channel

Building on the success of the original Blackstar Fly 3, the Fly High Gain expands the platform with a three-channel design, introducing an all-new Nitro channel voiced for modern high-gain performance. Designed with metal, hard rock and punk players in mind, the Nitro channel delivers aggressive saturation while a built-in noise gate keeps tones tight and controlled.

Big Features, Compact Power: Versatility of the Fly High Gain

Despite its compact size, Fly High Gain offers the features players expect from a serious practice amplifier. Blackstar’s patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) allows players to shape their tone from a tight American-style response through to a mid-focused British voice, while the built-in analogue-style delay adds depth to solos and lead lines. An Aux input enables players to jam along with backing tracks, and the emulated headphone output provides high-quality tone for silent practice or direct recording.

Core Tone, Expanded Power: Inside the Fly High Gain

At the core of Fly High Gain is the same specially tuned sealed cabinet design and custom 3” speaker that helped make the original Fly a global success. The familiar Clean and Overdrive channels deliver the tones players already know from the Fly platform, while the Nitro channel introduces a significantly higher gain structure tailored for modern rock and metal styles.

Aggressive Style, Signature Sound: The Look of the Fly High Gain

Visually, the Fly High Gain features a darker, more aggressive aesthetic inspired by Blackstar’s flagship Blackstar Series One MK II amplifiers, including a new grille design, brushed control panel and metal logo. The Fly High Gain continues Blackstar’s mission of delivering inspiring tone and innovative design across every level of amplification, bringing serious high-gain performance to one of the most portable amps on the market.
