So tiny. So small. So light. You can carry it around the house super easily, works with rechargeable batteries or on 9V.
And it sounds dope, the bass response is relatively solid for such a small amp.
You should get one or two. Do it.

I have one and can only agree.
Sounds decent with the fuzzers as well.

I like to play mine on the porch; it’s perfect.

The Fly 3 has absolutely no polarity protection built inside. So if you try to use a power supply that's not the original one by Blackstar you will almost certainly kill your unit ... on the fly! That happened twice in the music shop that I used to work in (closed since 2018) and we had to pay for the repairs. So "thanks" to Blackstar for leaving away the polarity protection and maybe saving half a cent per unit in the production. Apart from that it's a really nice sounding amp.

Also it needs 6 volt DC and it doesn't step down 9V, unless that's going via the battery pack. Which is enormously stupid. But their power supply is cheap and pretty ok so... whatever.
