Blackstar ST. JAMES 50/EL34H Fawn Valve Guitar Amplifier Head

Allmänt

Valve-driven classic cleans and vintage crunch stacked up in vintage design and set up with contemporary features - and it all weighs just 6 kilos. This is the Blackstar St. James 50/EL34H amp head.

Classic & Ultra-Light

The Blackstar St. James Series includes two 50 Watt touring amps: the more modern-sounding 6L34-driven edition, and this more vintage-flavoured, EL34 valve-driven edition. Despite the peak output and valve-based design, the specially developed housing of both amps keeps the weight ultra-low while compromising absolutely zero on sound quality. On top of that, a lightweight Universal Power Supply has been fitted and is able to adapt to 90-to-264 Volt mains power points at 6/60Hz, so this amp can literally be taken all over the world.

Classic American & British Vintage

Each of the two channels have their own distinct character, so Channel 1 gives you the full might of a sixties-vintage American amp, which is the perfect place to start when coupling up a small army of stompboxes. On the other side, Channel 2 brings things back across the pond to the more classic, sixties and seventies British-flavoured rawness and crunch required for rhythm work. Of course, you can always hook up the included footswitch to trigger the boost function for solo work as well.

Variable Power Modes & Inductive Load

To accommodate any gig, no matter the stage-size, Blackstar have loaded in a three-mode attenuator that can be switched from full power at 50 Watts all the way down to 5 Watts, reducing the volume while retaining the pure sound of overdriven valves. The third Sag setting gives the output a more vintage, tasty and worn feel that's well worth the investment in itself. From the vintage to the modern, this combo even features Inductive Load, meaning that it can be directly hooked up to an audio interface via USB or XLR, or you can even plug in a set of headphones. A feature that you just don't get with most valve amplifiers.

Cab Rig

The Inductive Load can also be teamed up with Cab Rig: Blackstar's own in-house developed DSP technology which accurately emulates the power of external speakers. So, when recording or rehearsing on your own, you're backed up by the force of a virtual speaker cabinet while keeping the noise as low as humanly possible.

Full Control

The control panel of the St. James 50/EL34H amp lines up a master volume pot and a three-band EQ section, while around the back, ports for setting up an effects loop are provided. A reverb circuit already comes built in and can be toggled hands-free using the included footswitch, which can also be used to flip between the two channels and activate the Channel 2 boost function as needed.
