The Blackstar Fly 3 Union Jack is a 3-watt, battery-powered mini guitar combo amplifier featuring a 3-inch speaker and a special cream and Union Jack design. It is a compact and portable amplifier that combines two channels—Clean and Overdrive—with a digital tape delay effect and Blackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF), which allows for infinite adjustment of the tone, enabling users to shape the sound from a US to a UK character. The amp can be powered by six AA batteries or a DC power supply and includes an MP3/Line-in jack for connecting devices like smartphones or tablets to jam along to music, as well as an emulated output jack for silent practice with headphones.
Users have praised the Fly 3 Union Jack for its surprisingly full and rich sound, with crisp cleans and strong overdrive, making it a favorite for practice and travel. The battery life is noted as being long, with some users reporting up to 8–10 hours of use on a single set of batteries. The amp is also appreciated for its versatility, with the ISF control and delay effect offering a wide range of tonal possibilities. It has been described as a "great-sounding, portable, battery-powered guitar combo amplifier" that is not just a toy but a functional and enjoyable tool for musicians.
The Union Jack edition is considered a special and collectible version, with its aesthetic appeal evoking British rock heritage and drawing comparisons to iconic bands like Oasis and The Beatles. While the amp is not suitable for large gigs, it is highly recommended for personal practice, recording, and as a portable speaker for casual use.
