Pro Connectivity:
The Blackstar St. James 50 6L6 Head offers exceptional connectivity options for versatile use. The USB output allows you to capture pure valve tone directly during recordings. The XLR CabRig output provides high-quality stage sound without needing microphones. Additionally, the 1/4″ output lets you enjoy the amp’s distinctive tone through headphones, making it ideal for practice and recording.
Revolutionary Speaker:
In collaboration with Celestion, Blackstar has developed the Zephyr lightweight speaker for this head. This speaker uses a traditional Ferrite magnet while being significantly lighter than standard models. It represents an innovative leap, similar to optimizing a Formula 1 race car—removing excess weight to enhance performance without compromising sound quality.
Lightweight With No Compromise:
The St. James 50 6L6 Head utilizes Candlenut plywood, balancing strength and lightness. This material enhances the cabinet’s acoustic properties, ensuring both durability and exceptional tone. The result is a roadworthy, robust cabinet that maintains excellent sound quality while being easy to transport.
Universal Voltage and Power Options:
This head combines modern SMPS technology with the classic feel of traditional iron-core transformers. It supports universal voltage compatibility and offers a 50W / 2W / Sag power reduction feature. These innovations set new benchmarks for valve amplification, catering to various playing environments and preferences.
Versatile Tone Control:
Featuring two footswitchable channels, the St. James 50 6L6 Head allows you to switch between clean and overdriven tones effortlessly. The footswitchable Channel II Voice provides two overdrive settings (OD 1 and OD 2) for diverse musical styles. It also includes a Master Volume control and Digital Reverb for further sound customization.
Professional Audio Integration:
The head includes an Effects loop with an effects level switch, allowing seamless integration of external effects. With both USB audio output and XLR D.I. output, it ensures professional-grade connectivity for both live performances and studio recordings.
