Hundreds of hours of critical listening against the most revered amplifier references mean St. James raises the sonic benchmark again. The 6L6 version has clean headroom, but this is coupled with Blackstar’s highest gain Overdrive circuit to date. 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. 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. For professional live use, both using the inbuilt reactive load and CabRig DSP speaker simulation. Blackstar worked closely with Celestion to develop the unique Zephyr lightweight ferrite speaker. The Zephyr accurately emulates the rich sound and performance of Celestion’s iconic’Vintage 30′ speaker at a fraction of the weight and this is achieved with a traditional ferrite magnet not a neodymium one. Lightweight with No Compromise. Candlenut plywood is used for strength and lightness and its beneficial acoustic proprieties, creating a roadworthy cabinet that sounds great and won’t let you down. James combo amp uses highly efficient, lightweight power transformers designed around modern SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supply) technology. More than 3 years of intense research and development have delivered all the benefits of SMPS, namely lightweight and universal voltage compatibility, whilst retaining the sound and feel of a traditional iron-core transformer. The resulting revolutionary transformer technology is patent pending. What’s in the Box. James 50W 6L6 Tube Amplifier Combo with Cab Rig Simulator (Refurbished).

Blackstar wanted to produce a range of heads and combos, that were the lightest available while still retaining the essential element found in traditional valve / tube amps. Lightweight amps with no trade-off in performance and tone are something guitarists have been requesting for ages making it the forefront during the design process of the new ST. Thus making them the lightest valve amps in the world. James Series In Detail. James heads and combos are highly versatile amplifiers suited to a wide range of playing styles and situations. Channel I, all models. The valve/tube gain structure and voicing of this channel have been inspired by classic American amplifiers of the mid-’60s (Fender’black-face’). It is very clean and bright but with a solid low-end and controlled mids. Also, on this channel, the valve/tube power stage is set to be tight and relatively clean, and linear across the frequency range. This is one of the most popular choices for a’pedal platform’ as it provides a solid clean foundation to apply effects to. Channel II for 6L6 model. On 6L6 models this increases the gain into the valve/tube overdrive section pushing the saturation available from the GAIN II control even further. This is great for fluid’legato’ lines and sweep-picking techniques as well as aggressive alternate picking. On these models the power stage is tight with VOICE off and reconfigures to a looser, more resonant response with VOICE on, to provide the low end’chug’ of modern high gain amps. When the footswitch is connected then this switch is bypassed but the LED will still indicate the VOICE status. As with all Blackstar products the St. James amplifiers are designed for maximum reliability. All the amplifiers are thoroughly endurance tested on automatic test equipment to replicate many hours of real-life use in a few days of laboratory testing. CAB RIG is Blackstar’s next-generation DSP speaker simulator and begets a fundamental shift in the accessibility of professional recording and performing. CAB RIG awards budding musicians the ability to access previously unattainable technology, that has long been reserved for professional sound engineers and producers. Leading-edge advancements in the speaker cabinet and microphone simulation will allow any player to achieve unparalleled quality in their live sound and recorded music. What’s in the Box.
