Uncompromising SoundHundreds 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 Blackstars highest gain Overdrive circuit to date. Studio ReadySt. 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 amps 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 Blackstars state-of-the-art and fully customisable CabRig DSP speaker simulator. Pro ConnectivityWith 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. I. for professional live use, both using the inbuilt reactive load and CabRig DSP speaker simulation. Revolutionary SpeakerBlackstar worked closely with Celestion to develop the unique Zephyr lightweight ferrite speaker. The Zephyr accurately emulates the rich sound and performance of Celestions 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 CompromiseCandlenut plywood is used for strength and lightness and its beneficial acoustic proprieties, creating a roadworthy cabinet that sounds great and wont let you down. Universal VoltageThis St. 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.
