Wanted a battery amp for the porch, patio, etc, so read reviews and thought the Blackstar Fly was good for the price.  Found it with the additional speaker and power adapter on Amazon for $90 in the limited edition green, I would've gone for the black, but they didn't offer the combo in black for that price.  Decent sounding little amp, wouldn't play the Rose Bowl with it, but for a quiet setting and clean playing it works well.  Has effects, and they work well, but not what I bought it for.  Bass strings sound a little rough if you turn the gain up enough, but overall sounds better than my little 15 amp Fender Frontman, which hasn't been plugged in for a while.

Thought a little cabinet would be nice, had some spare oak, so spent a few hours Saturday throwing it together.  Could've made a few of the joints a little cleaner, but it will do the job.  When the little amp and speaker sit, the face is slightly angled back, so as picture 4 shows, I routed a groove for the front hard plastic feet to sit in, sorta holds them in place.  The back feet are rubber.  This made the face sit fairly perpendicular.

Anyway, not a bad little amp for the price, the amp alone runs around $60, and runs on 6 AA batteries, if you don't have the power adapter.  Fun little project!
