Blackstar IDX: FLOOR THREE Gitarr Multi-effekt

Blackstar ID:X Floor Three — Pro DSP Floor Modeller For Guitar, Bass And Acoustic

The Blackstar ID:X Floor Three packs component-level DSP into a full-size floorboard for guitarists, bassists, and acoustic players who want genuine valve feel without hauling a full backline rig. Twelve electric models, three bass models, two acoustic voices, and an acoustic simulator cover rock rhythm, bass-driven songs, and fingerstyle on the same unit, while the OLED display and dedicated encoder keep live editing approachable without a manual.

What Sets It Apart In The Multi-FX Pedal Category

CabRig rebuilds speaker, cabinet, microphone, and room response with no latency and no phase issues — solving the stacking limitation of standard IR-based sims. Patented ISF plus EL84, EL34, and 6L6 Response switching changes how each model compresses and breathes, not just which amp is loaded.

Amp Models And Speaker Simulation

Modelling targets individual valve stages rather than a static snapshot, so clean, crunch, and lead voices react to picking dynamics. A built-in expression pedal drives volume, wah, or any assigned parameter in real time.

• Electric amp models: 12 component-level amps combining Blackstar and Ampton voicings
• You can pick an EL84 / EL34 / 6L6 power-valve Response emulation per preset, and each setting shifts compression and breakup behaviour without reloading the amp model.
• Bass and acoustic coverage: 3 bass models, 2 acoustic voices, plus acoustic simulator

Effects Library And Patch Workflow

The effects engine covers modulation, delay, reverb, and Pre-FX blocks, editable from the top panel. Patches store in banks of three with crossfade switching that smooths transitions between presets during songs.

• Onboard FX count: 35+ studio-grade effects — 14 Pre-FX, 10 modulation, 6 delay, 5 reverb
• Patch capacity: 99 user patches mapped across 8 footswitches, with manual mode for live tweaking

Connectivity, Build, And Software

The unit straddles silent-stage and traditional backline setups through a broad I/O panel, and free Architect software unlocks deeper editing plus community patch sharing.

• Build measurements: 397 × 195 × 68 mm (W × D × H), weighing 2.88 kg
• The rear panel carries MIDI In/Thru, FX Loop, stereo XLR CabRig outs, USB-C, headphone out, "To amp" output, and line in — silent FOH, traditional backline, and direct studio recording all fit on one floor unit.
• Power requirements: standard 9 V 500 mA pedalboard-friendly supply
