Sound Like A Pro From The Get-Go
The Blackstar Debut 50R offers professional-grade sound right from the start. This simple and elegant all-analogue amplifier is a great alternative to digital modelling amps. Ideal for players of all levels, it excels whether you’re jamming in a bedroom, practicing in a small room, or performing on stage. Engineered with MOSFET technology, it delivers authentic valve-like tones that enhance your playing experience.

Groundbreaking MOSFET Design
At the core of the Debut 50R is Blackstar’s exclusive MOSFET preamp design. This technology emulates the valve tone found in high-end amps but in a compact, lightweight format. The MOSFET design ensures rich, detailed sound with every note, based on Blackstar’s award-winning valve amps.

A Gigging Workhorse
The Debut 50R is built to handle both your first gig and regular performances. Its robust design and versatile features make it a reliable choice for live shows. With a wide range of tones and a solid pedal platform, the Debut 50R provides the power and tonal options needed for any stage.

The Features You Need
The Debut 50R includes essential features for aspiring guitarists. It offers two footswitchable channels, allowing easy switching between clean and overdrive tones. The patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) tone control lets you fine-tune your sound. The amplifier also features power reduction from 50W to 5W, a series effects loop, and custom-voiced digital reverb with Plate and Hall options.

Clean & Overdrive Channels
The amp’s two channels are designed for specific tones. The clean channel, inspired by the HT-20R MKII, includes a “Bright” switch and provides clear, headroom-rich sounds. The overdrive channel, modeled after the St. James 6L6, offers tones ranging from blues and classic rock to heavy metal. Both channels deliver exceptional valve tone recreation, suitable for various styles.

Silent Practice
The headphone/recording output of the Debut 50R is perfect for quiet practice. It simulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet, maintaining detailed sound even at lower volumes. This feature is ideal for practicing or recording without disturbing others.

Power Reduction
A standout feature is the power reduction capability. Switch from 50W to 5W to play at lower volumes without sacrificing tone quality. This feature is great for home practice and late-night sessions.

Footswitchable Channels
The Debut 50R supports dual footswitch control, allowing easy switching between channels and reverb. Use a 2-way footswitch to control these features, offering greater flexibility (note: footswitch sold separately).

Music Playback
Plug in your phone, tablet, or audio device and enjoy your favorite tracks through the amp’s speakers. The Debut 50R provides excellent audio quality, making it a versatile option for music playback.
