Blackstar St. James 50 6L6 - Head

Blackstar St. James 50 6L6 Head

Ultra-lightweight 50 Watt head with 2x ECC83 and  2x 6L6 Valves.
Two footswitchable channels, Reverb and Effect Loop with Level Switch.

Channel I is inspired by those clean, dynamic American amps of the mid ’60s.  St. James brings these circuits right up-to-date, producing a whole new level of clean headroom and dynamic compression to deliver inspired musical-mids and tight-lows. This channel is a perfect pedal platform.

Channel II is an absolute gain machine. In standard mode, the amp has a gloriously British, ‘punch in the chest’ roar.  However, with the Voice switch activated, the saturation gets cranked ‘to 11’ and the power-stage damping is reduced for a girthy, modern-sounding, high-gain, low-end chug.

Completely separate EQ circuits are used for each channel. This is achieved by switching dual-ganged potentiometers, which means there is no compromise in tone between the two channels even with the shared EQ controls.

With more musicians recording at home, or playing on silent stages, St. James is perfect for the way we play today, with USB audio connectivity for pro-recording and an XLR D.I. for professional live use, both using the inbuilt reactive load and CabRig DSP speaker simulation.
