DPR can reduce the power down to 4.5W and MIDI switching and a series effects loop make this the ultimate pro's combo.

45 Watt, 1 ECC82, 3x ECC83, 2xEL34
The Series One 45 is an innovate combo that features 2xEL34 valves that combine with its Celestion Vintage 30 speakers to create awesome tone. By switching both preamplifier and power amplifier parameters the Series One 45 delivers both Class A style tones with a bell-like ring and classic push-pull crunch depending on the mode selected.

ISF Control
The patented ISF control works with the Bass, Middle and Treble controls to give you access to infinite new sound possibilities from the USA to the UK and everywhere in-between. This fully interactive control allows you to infinitely adjust the response of the tone control network between any of the traditional voicing's. In this way you can design your own sound and truly find the sound in your head.

DPR Control
The DPR system allows you to vary the amplifier output down to 10% of its rated power without any loss in tone or valve reliability. Pure valve output distortion and compression at any volume - a dream come true.

MIDI Switching
The Series One offers the ability to control channel selection via MIDI Program Change messages and interfacing with most MIDI controllers is a straight forward process. The Series One can be placed in a MIDI chain allowing you to simultaneously select a channel on the amplifier and change the patch on a MIDI effects processor connected to the effects loop. There are 128 available Program Changes, giving you the possibility to access a vast number of tonal combinations.

Speaker Emulated Output
All Series One amplifiers have a state-of-the-art speaker emulator with balanced and unbalanced outputs via XLR and standard jack connectors respectively. The Blackstar speaker emulator is a complex multi-stage filter which takes the preamplifier signal and then introduces the important characteristics of a valve power amp, guitar loudspeaker and cabinet.

Solid Construction
All Series One amplifiers have plated through double sided PCBs for the increased mechanical integrity this construction affords. Designed to last a lifetime, Series One cabinets have an 18mm finger-jointed birch ply cabinet and heavy gauge wiring. The chassis, for mechanical integrity, are seam welded 1.6mm steel.

2 x 12inch Celestion Speakers
The Series One 45 features a duo of 12inch Celestion Vintage 30 speakers.

Series Effects Loop
The amp features an effects loop to allow you to connect effects pedals or other professional equipment using the return and send connections. The Effects Loop Level switch sets the effects loop to either +4dBV/-10dBV, which enables you to use it with either professional equipment (+4dBV setting), or with guitar level effects such as effects pedals (-10dBV setting).
