The Blackstar STJ50-6L6-212 St. James Combo Amplifier:

The Blackstar STJ50-6L6-212 St. James Combo Amplifier is a groundbreaking amplifier that sets new standards for performance and design. This ultra-lightweight 50-watt combo amplifier weighs just 16.8 kg, thanks to its use of Candlenut plywood. This material provides a perfect balance of strength, lightness, and superior acoustic properties, making the cabinet both durable and roadworthy.

In collaboration with Celestion, Blackstar has developed the revolutionary G12Z-70 ‘Zephyr’ speakers. These custom-designed, lightweight speakers use traditional Ferrite magnets. They offer powerful tone without the bulk, similar to a Formula 1 race car’s design philosophy—stripping away unnecessary weight while maintaining exceptional sound quality.

The St. James 50 6L6 212 Combo excels in connectivity options, providing versatile solutions for recording and live performance. The USB output captures pure valve tone for high-quality recordings. The XLR CabRig output allows for stage brilliance without needing microphones. Additionally, the 1/4″ output provides the option for private headphone use, creating a trifecta of sonic freedom.

This amplifier features two footswitchable channels, with Channel II Voice offering OD 1 and OD 2 overdrive settings. It includes power reduction options of 50W, 2W, or Sag, allowing you to adapt the amplifier’s output to different playing environments. The master volume control and digital reverb add further versatility to its sound-shaping capabilities.

The St. James 50 6L6 212 Combo also includes an effects loop with an effects level switch and an advanced Cab Rig DSP cabinet simulator for authentic cabinet emulation. A footcontroller is included for easy channel switching and boost activation. The amplifier’s striking boutique look is enhanced by an illuminated logo, adding a touch of professional elegance to its design.
