Blackstar St. James 50 6L6 212 Combo Guitar Amplifier

General

The Blackstar St. James 50 combo manages to encase classic sonic character in classic style, set it up with modern ease-of-use and, despite the valve-driven design and pair of twelve-inch speakers, keeps things compact. Making no compromises, this valve-driven amp features a power-reduction switch so the standard 50 Watt output can be shifted down to just 2 Watts to support home rehearsals or shifted into Sag mode to give the sound an irresistibly loose playing feel. This edition of the James 50 comes loaded with 6L6 valves, so you're not just getting classic, American-flavoured cleans and more than enough headroom to play with, but thick and juicy, high-gain overdrive - flip between the two via the included single-button footswitch.

The Blackstar St. James 50 212 Combo: Vintage Sound Meets Modern Function

Thanks to the built-in reactive load, the vintage sound of the St. James 50 6L6 can be sent out via the stereo line output, the XLR output or the USB port without any fuss. Add that to the three authentic DSP-simulated speaker sounds of the Cab Rig output and what you get is an amazingly potent combo you can set up in the studio or on stage, even combined with a matching 8 or 16-Ohm cabinet. Of course, a set of headphones can be plugged in for silent practice sessions, and your favourite stompboxes can be hooked up to the integrated mono effects loop.
