SAINT JAMES - Next-Gen Valve Amplifiers for the Modern MusicianLet There Be LightTone is first. Always. But gone are the days when greatness had to weigh a tone. At Blackstar, we embrace innovation, guaranteeing you have the best possible experience every time you plug into the St. James (or have to carry it!)Enter St. James - the lightest 50 watt valve guitar amps on earth.Uncompromising SoundThe St. James EL34, a beacon of classic tones, marries the quintessential British Crunch with ethereal, glassy Cleans resonating with chime.From Studio to StageWith switchable power modes to bring the volume down to a sensible level, to an inbuilt reactive load that routes the post-power valve output signal to the amp's direct recording outputs coupled with Blackstar's state-of-the-art and fully customizable CabRig DSP speaker simulator for truly authentic 'amp-in-a-room' feel.No page has been left unturned and no expenses spared in the design of the St. James.What Do They Sound Like?We sonically referenced some of the most revered and sought after amps of the 20th and 21st centuries and then designed our own circuits from the ground up in Northampton, England to make sure that you not only get beloved classic tones, but that you can sculpt your guitar tone more than ever before and push your creative boundaries.Patented Reactive LoadAt Blackstar, we couldn't possibly of used an off- the-shelf reactive load box in our amps if we could see flaws in the design. This led us to developing our own, class leading, reactive load box - built directly into the St. James. Oh, and our work on this earned a patent too...CabRigOur Patented Reactive Load would have been a bit rubbish if we didn't develop class-beating CabSim's to go along with it. Luckily, we did!You'll find an array of classic cabinet and mic combinations over on our user-friendly interface so that you can create the sound in your head with ease.The StoryOur goal for the St. James amps was simple...
