The St. James 50W 6L6 Tube Amplifier Head is an ultra-lightweight 50 watt head with two footswitchable channels. It features master volume and digital reverb. It has effects loop with effects level switch. The amp head has an USB audio output and an XLR D.I. output. This is a certified refurbished product.
Studio Ready
St. James amps are packed with cutting-edge features to deliver class-leading recording performance. From 50W, 2W and SAG switchable power modes, to an inbuilt reactive load that routes the post-power valve output signal to the amp’s three direct recording outputs (XLR, Stereo Line-Out and USB) for truly authentic ‘amp-in-a-room feel. Hundreds of hours of critical listening against the most revered amplifier references mean St. James raises the sonic benchmark again. The 6L6 version has clean headroom, but this is coupled with Blackstar’s highest gain Overdrive circuit to date.
Pro Connectivity
With more musicians recording at home, or playing on silent stages, St. James is perfect for the way we play today, with USB audio connectivity for pro-recording and an XLR D.I. for professional live use.
Lightweight with No Compromise
Candlenut plywood is used for strength and lightness and its beneficial acoustic proprieties, creating a roadworthy cabinet that sounds great and won’t let you down.
Universal Voltage
This St. James amp head uses highly efficient, lightweight power transformers designed around modern SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supply) technology. More than 3 years of intense research and development have delivered all the benefits of SMPS, namely lightweight and universal voltage compatibility, whilst retaining the sound and feel of a traditional iron-core transformer. The resulting revolutionary transformer technology is patent pending.
