Up for sale/trade is my ID Core: Beam in black.

In superb condition with minimal scuffs and marks if any and comes with PSU and the original box/packaging.  Owned this about two months now and it's a great bit of a kit but I really miss my Yamaha THR10 so I'm looking to re-acquire one of them.

Specifications
20W Super Wide Stereo (2x10W) 
Bluetooth connectivity for music streaming 
Styled for use in the home 
6 electric guitar voices, from Clean Warm to OD 2 
2 acoustic guitar voices 
2 acoustic simulator voices 
2 bass voices 
Revolutionary sonic performance 
Patented ISF 
12 Digital FX per Voice 
Programmable - store up to 12 patches, or use in Manual Mode 
Full Blackstar INSIDER compatibility - create and share patches with the Blackstar Online Community 
MP3/Line In for jamming along or listening to music 
Emulated Line Out for silent practice or recording 
Stereo speaker configuration - 2x3 speakers producing true stereo Blackstar tones 
Mains powered via a separate power supply (included)"

Now it really is a cracking little amp, the cleans are pretty authentic in my opinion, especially the clean bright, you do get that gradual breakup and has a real snap/quack to it which I really liked.  The hi-gain sounds are probably where it excels because it's not fizzly, farty fuzz but has a decent bottom end and a solid EQ.

The bluetooth option works really well and I paired it with my iPhone without much hassle at all and it could get very loud so could easily be used as a portable speaker for travelling.

The ID software is decent and I've upgraded the firmware to the latest version.

Looking for £180 delivered on this.  Collection would be £165.  Based in NW London, place called Uxbridge just off of J4/M4.

Tradeswise: I would do a straight swap for a Yamaha THR10 in a similar condition so with PSU, box etc.  

Thanks!
