The Blackstar St. James 50 EL34 is a sublime-sounding 50-watt valve combo amplifier that combines vintage tone with cutting-edge technology. Designed for modern performers and recording artists, it offers a lightweight design without compromising on sound quality or performance. Featuring EL34 and ECC83 valves, this amp delivers a classic low-gain pedal platform with a +10dB clean boost, allowing you to shape your tone from crisp and chimey to smooth and creamy.
Named after one of Northampton's oldest areas, the St. James series was developed after extensive research into vintage valve amplifiers and is considered one of the most innovative 50-watt valve amps ever created. Its patent-applied-for design integrates a Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) with a real valve amp, a reactive load, and advanced DSP for XLR and headphone outputs, offering unprecedented versatility.
Equipped with next-generation Cab Rig DSP speaker simulation, the St. James accurately replicates the sound of a mic’d guitar cab and allows for seamless recording via USB/XLR or direct monitoring through headphones.
The exclusive lightweight Celestion Zephyr loudspeaker ensures a massive tonal punch while keeping the amp incredibly portable. With professional connectivity options, including low-latency USB audio and XLR D.I. output for live performances, the Blackstar St. James 50 EL34 is the perfect blend of tradition and modern innovation, making it an exceptional choice for guitarists seeking the ultimate valve amp experience.
