The Blackstar Silverline Special is an exceptional digital guitar amplifier designed to meet the diverse needs of modern guitarists. With its 50 Watt output and 12” Celestion V-Type speaker, the Silverline Special is comparable in power and performance to traditional valve amplifiers but offers far greater versatility and control.

Utilizing groundbreaking SHARC® DSP power for precise audio reproduction, the amplifier provides six distinct preamp voices ranging from “Clean Warm” to “OD 2”, alongside six Response settings that mimic the dynamics of classic power amp circuits such as EL84, 6V6, EL34, KT66, 6L6, and KT88. This wide array of settings ensures that players can effortlessly switch from shimmering cleans to rich, sustaining leads.

The patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) allows for nuanced tone-shaping between American and British characteristics, adding another layer of customization. For those looking to extend the amp’s functionality, the optional FS-10 footswitch provides seamless transitions between presets, enhancing live performance dynamics.

Connectivity is a strong suit of the Silverline Special, with a USB port for direct recording and re-amping capabilities, alongside MP3/Line In and Emulated Out/Phone jacks for silent practice or direct feed to PA systems. The Blackstar ARCHITECT software enhances user experience by offering deep-editing features, patch management, and sharing capabilities.
