Blackstar ID:30 30 watts, 12″ Celestion Speaker.
For a small amp, this really delivers. Usually a 30 watt solid state isn’t nearly as loud as a tube amp but Blackstar advertises this line of amps as “Loud As Valves”. They have meticulously engineered these to emulate output tubes, not only in tone but also in volume as well.
This amp will not disappoint

Review from Sweetwater:
Very versatile, great sounding and affordable Amp
Had the amp for about 6 months now and I am always amazed at the tones I can easily dial in. The cleans are clear and beautiful, the crunch channels get me really close to SRV-style blues tone, and I’ve been able to dial in a great brown sound and metal tones as well. For someone who only has room for one amplifier, this is an awesome do-it-all amp. The built in effects are surprisingly great as well, especially the reverbs and tremolo. Blackstar’s TVP function is where this amp really shines though. I honestly never turn it off; it really sounds rich and dynamic and I think does a great job of emulating a tube amplifier. It is quite loud with this feature active, I generally never turn the master volume past about 9 or 10 o’clock, given most of what I play is high gain. It does great as an at home practice amp nonetheless. It’s a pretty light piece too, very easy to move around and the handle feels nice and sturdy. The only thing I’d change about would be the addition of a mid control on the EQ, but I haven’t really missed it much. All around great value for your money with this amp, sounds great, easy to use and was exactly what I was looking for. Another great product from Blackstar. close
