Mini by name but maybe a little bit more by nature!
What do you do when the children have gone to bed, your partner is in the lounge watching TV and the only place to have a noodle on guitar at a reasonable practice volume is in the kitchen? You get a Blackstar Fly 3 mini amp!
No lugging your big amp from one room to another. Pop your Fly 3 on the table next to your lap top and jam along to your favourite music or learn something new.
The Fly 3 gives a clear punchy sound even at reasonable volume. You're not going to get tremendous bottom end, after all it's a small amp with a small speaker, but it's enough for it's intended purpose. I like the tape echo / delay, nice little feature, which also helps a bit as there is no reverb.
I have the ISF control at 12 o'clock position. Too much to the left and the top end is a bit too biting for my tastes and too much to the right and it gets slightly woollier. In fact all dials on 12 o'clock position seem right to me.
I put my little Behringer modeller / DI box in front of it and it comes even more to life and it helps the bottom end too.
It was the cheapest little desk top amp of them all but appears to be sturdily built.
All in all, just what I expected - and fit for purpose!

still have to experiment ...
At first sight (and listening) the sound quality is not so nice. I appreciate the very small size, but I probably have to do some more testing on the overall set of features. Sound through headphones is better than thru the loudspeaker. Construction & robustness seems ok. To be re-evaluated
