An inductive load is built into each St. James amp, this allows you to run the valves flat out without having a speaker connected. Plus Cab Rig, our next-generation DSP speaker simulator to capture incredible tones via USB / XLR D.I. out or headphones. The Power Reduction switch allows you to select 50 Watts, 5 Watts or Sag to easily get the perfect balance of power and response for any situation from studio to stage. The unique Celestion Zephyr lightweight ferrite speaker, candlenut plywood cabinet and universal power supply all go together to create the lightest 50 Watt valve amp in the world and deliver amazing tones without compromise.

Developed after months of forensic examination of vintage valve amps, the St. James series offers valve amplifiers that are truly lightweight and portable. Available in a higher gain 6L6 model, these amps are simple to use but highly versatile; the intuitive two channel set-up deliver Blackstar's best ever cleans and overdrives.

The 6L6 models use a 'modern' preamp gain structure for Channel II. This specific channel is a combination of Blackstar's award-winning cascaded valve/tube overdrive circuits and a traditional 'British style passive tone stack' (EQ). When CH. II is selected but VOICE is off, the valve/tube power amp is set to be tight and relatively linear.

Switching to the alternative VOICE setting on the 6L6 model revoices the overdriven cascaded valve/tube preamp for more saturation, as well as reconfigures the power amp to be open loop, to provide that contemporary high-gain looser feel with plenty of resonant low end 'chug'.

All models feature a 3-way 'POWER' switch to give the user options on how their valve/tube output stage is run.
