Blackstar St. James 50-watt 1x12 inch Tube Combo Amp with 6L6 Tubes

Blackstar St. James 50-watt 1x12 inch Tube Combo Amp with 6L6 Tubes

Let There Be Light

When it comes to tone and that all-important ‘feel’ factor, great valve amps rightfully remain the ‘gold standard’. The trouble is that great ones capable of delivering 50 Watts or more are all back-breakingly heavy. Until now… enter St. James Series – the lightest 50 Watt valve guitar amps on earth.

Uncompromising Sound

Hundreds of hours of critical listening against the most revered amplifier references mean St. James raises the sonic benchmark again. The 6L6 version has the same clean headroom, but this is coupled with Blackstar’s highest gain Overdrive circuit to date.

Studio Ready

St. James amps are packed with cutting-edge features to deliver class-leading recording performance. From 50W, 2W and SAG switchable power modes, to an inbuilt reactive load that routes the post-power valve output signal to the amp’s three direct recording outputs (XLR, Stereo Line-Out and USB) for truly authentic ‘amp-in-a-room: feel. The sound from these recording outputs is derived from Blackstar’s state-of-the-art and fully customisable CabRig™ DSP speaker simulator.
