Solid Extension cab for the Fly3
I bought this to go with my Blackstar Fly 3 desktop amp.
I bought it as I was planning on using the fly 3 as a speaker for my iPod and laptop so reasoned that a second speaker would give me a stero spread.
The volume certainly increases compared to using the amp on its own, and it sounds good when using it as a music speaker. I found it was very good when using it with my laptop watching movies, certainly better than the computer speakers.
The only issue, just like the amp, is that it's quite a bulky item, and putting it in a bag along with the fly 3 amp takes up a lot of space.
It's built well, and survived a month of being shoved in and out of bags, indoors and outdoors it hasn't fallen apart.
The method of cable storage is quirky but I would rather have had a port to be able to connect a 4.5mm jack between this and the amp so you could choose you own length rather than that specified by Blackstar. Long term, it will be the cable that lets this speaker down as you can't replace it yourself.

When one fly is not enough
I bought it to give my Blackstar Fly3 some extra volume and to use them as a pair of stereo speakers when needed.
Although they don't produce the loudest of sounds, you really shouldn't expect them to. That being said, I have taken the Fly with the extension cab to a very small jam session and when paired with the right guitar that can cut through the mix, such as a Tele, you actually don't need to turn up very loud. So, quite a portable package!

It makes the FLY 3 sound a bit bigger.
Pros: Makes a good amp a bit better -- a bit wider sound. I like it. Has a place to coil the cable at the back.
Cons: Mine has something rattling inside. You need to remember that its attached to the amp and pick it together with the amp. The cable is a bit short.
Is it essential? No. Nice to have? Absolutely.

Simple and effective
I really liked the sound of my Fly3 as a study amp. The extension cabinet made for a really nice addon, enabling stereo sound and ended up becoming my go-to computer speaker to jam with.
The cabinet is well built for its price and connects easily through the network cable which folds itself into the back of the unit. Very smart.
Really worth every buck.

I ordered it to enhance the volume of my beloved Blackstar FLY 3 Amp and in fact it is substantially louder. I can keep up the volume with other guitars now during a jam.

A must have product!
The Blackstar extension makes the fly 3 much more enjoyable and gives the stereo image when you listen to music. You can play your stereo music and jam on top of it. Amazing sound for its size, great delay effect and excellent purchase in total! Great delivery from thomann

it makes the amp deeper and bassier
the ethernet-looking connection cable is sturdy and has a clever coiling system

Double the fun?
The build quality is amazing and the sound is killer for its size. it helps make the original Blackstar fly feel more like a real amp and not just a mini or travel amp.
There is literally no point in using it on battery power though, I haven't actually tested it but from what I've been seeing if you're thinking about getting this you should definitely get the power supply, or you'll go broke buying batteries.
I kind of miss the fact that it doesn't have a jack input... that would have made it so much more versatile, but instead it has an ethernet type deal. I knew it before getting it but I still can't get over it

Great addition to the fly 3 amp.
I was impressed with the fly 3 amp and bought this after reading the information about it. I was not disappointed, it has increased the volume to the point where it cuts through even in loud sessions. I use it with mandolin and guitar. Very good.
