ID:Core 40 V4

The ID:Core 40 V4 offers the familiar intuitive controls of a traditional amp but is much more versatile thanks to its programmability. The Voice knob lets you select six different sounds: Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD 1, and OD 2. Combined with the ISF knob, you can dial in tones ranging from American to British and everything in between. The amp’s effects section produces wide stereo modulation, delay, and reverb effects in studio quality. The included Architect software allows further settings to be adjusted and saved via USB-C. The Line In / Streaming input enables not only music playback but also direct streaming from a smartphone using a 3.5mm cable.

The ID:Core V4 amps are suitable for both beginners and pros thanks to their lightweight design and built-in effects!
