About Blackstar St. James 50W EL34

A revolution in the world of guitar amplifiers, the St. James 50W EL34 Guitar Amplifier Head, Fawn, is an innovative product that combines power, versatility, and cutting-edge technology. This amplifier head is designed with an inductive load, allowing you to maximize the valve performance without the need for a connected speaker.

The St. James amplifier head features Cab Rig, a next-generation DSP speaker simulator, which captures exceptional tones via USB / XLR D.I. out or headphones. The Power Reduction switch provides flexibility, enabling you to select between 50 Watts, 5 Watts, or Sag, ensuring the perfect balance of power and response for any situation, from studio recording to live stage performances.

This amplifier head is paired with a unique Celestion Zephyr lightweight ferrite speaker and a candlenut plywood cabinet, creating the lightest 50 Watt valve amp stack in the world without compromising on tone quality. The St. James series sets a new standard in the industry, offering the lightest 50 Watt valve guitar amps on earth.

The St. James EL34 amplifier head is designed for classic tones, combining world-class British Crunch and stunning, US-sounding Cleans. It is packed with advanced features, including switchable power modes and an inbuilt reactive load, providing class-leading recording performance. The reactive load mimics the electrical response of a typical loudspeaker, delivering authentic valve power-amp tones in the studio or at home.

The St. James amplifier head also features Cab Rig DSP speaker simulator, overcoming the shortcomings of IR 'snapshots' by using state-of-the-art digital processing to reproduce the sound and feel of a mic'd up guitar cab in incredible detail. With over 250 mic and cab combinations, you can save your preferred settings into one of the three onboard slots.

Designed with modern musicians in mind, the St. James amplifier head offers professional connectivity options, including USB audio connectivity for pro-recording and an XLR D.I. for professional live use. The amplifier head uses highly efficient, lightweight power transformers designed around modern SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supply) technology, providing universal voltage compatibility while retaining the sound and feel of a traditional iron-core transformer.

In conclusion, the St. James 50W EL34 Guitar Amplifier Head, Fawn, is a powerful, reliable, and versatile solution for guitarists seeking superior sound quality and performance.
