Responding to the needs of guitarists everywhere, Blackstar brings to the world the St. James range of amps. These truly lightweight and portable valve amplifiers are less than half the weight of their traditional counterparts, built for performance with modern features for flexibility and ease of use.
The St. James is a 50w, dual channel amplifier which delivers Blackstar's best ever cleans and overdrives to date. With pro connectivity, the St. James integrates into any setup using low latency USB audio as a valve interface for recording, or XLR D.I. for live use. A Power Reduction switch allows you to select 50 Watts, 2 Watts or Sag to easily get the perfect balance of power and response for any situation from studio to stage.
Featuring a built-in reactive load, you can drive the valves without a speaker connected, perfect for using the on board Cab Rig technology, a speaker simulator that reproduces the sound and feel of a mic’d up guitar cab in incredible detail. Deep-dive using the accompanying free software and capture the incredible tones via USB / XLR out or headphones.
This EL34 model is a classic low gain pedal platform with a 10dB clean boost to take it from ‘chimey’ to ‘creamy’ and beyond.
