This feature ensures you achieve the perfect balance of power and response, whether you're in the studio or on stage. This amplifier head is paired with a matching speaker cabinet, featuring unique Celestion Zephyr lightweight ferrite speakers and a candlenut plywood cabinet. This combination results in the lightest 50 Watt valve amp stack in the world, delivering unparalleled tones without any compromise on quality.The St. James series is renowned for being the lightest 50 Watt valve guitar amps on the planet. Despite their lightweight design, these amps deliver uncompromising sound quality, raising the sonic benchmark once again. The 6L6 version, in particular, is designed with the same clean headroom, coupled with Blackstar's highest gain Overdrive circuit to date.The St. James amps are studio-ready, packed with cutting-edge features for superior recording performance. The inbuilt reactive load routes the post-power valve output signal to the amp's three direct recording outputs (XLR, Stereo Line-Out, and USB), delivering an authentic 'amp-in-a-room' feel. The St. James 50W 6L6 Guitar Amplifier Head is designed with two main goals: to create the world's lightest valve amps without compromising on tone or performance, and to provide an all-in-one solution for delivering authentic 'mic'd cabinet-of-a-hard-driven-valve-amp-in-a-room' sounds, direct to stage box or recording device.The inbuilt reactive load and pro connections make the St. James amplifier head perfect for silent stages and recording. The Cab Rig overcomes 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. The St. James range uses highly efficient, lightweight power transformers designed around modern SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supply) technology. This revolutionary transformer technology is patent pending, delivering all the benefits of SMPS, including lightweight design and universal voltage compatibility, while retaining the sound and feel of a traditional iron-core transformer.
