BLACKSTAR / BS ST.JAMES 50 EL34 212 COMBO

BLACKSTAR's flagship St. James is now available in a combo type with two 12" speakers.

The lineup includes the classic EL34 and the high-gain 6L6, offering simplicity, ease of use, and high versatility.
In addition, the built-in reactive load allows the tubes to operate while the speaker is connected.
It also has Cab Rig, a next-generation DSP speaker simulator that reproduces great tones through the USB/XLR D.I. output and headphones.
A power reduction switch allows you to select 50W, 5W, or Sag to get the optimum balance of power and response for any situation, from studio to stage.
Weighing only 17.8 kg, this is the world's lightest 50-watt tube amplifier, yet it produces great tone without compromise.

Features
St. James features the essential elements of a traditional valve amplifier.
In particular, it uses vacuum tubes in the preamplifier and power amp and also features the loose coupling effect of the output transformer.
■ A patent-pending design that combines a Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) with vacuum tubes in the preamplifier and power amp, reactive load, and DSP for XLR and headphone outputs.
■ The built-in reactive load allows the tubes to be driven without connecting speakers. Ideal for recording or performing in quiet environments.
■ World's lightest 50W valve amp with no compromise in tone or performance.
It has reactive loading and Cab Rig simulator technology built in, low-latency USB, XLR D.I., and effects loops.
Cab Rig is a next-generation DSP speaker simulator that reproduces the sound and feel of a mic'd guitar cabinet in stunning detail. The free software lets you capture amazing tones through the USB/XLR outputs or headphones.
The power reduction switch allows you to choose between 50 watts, 2 watts, or Sag, making it easy to find the perfect balance of power and response in any situation, from studio to stage.
■ Celestion Zephyr lightweight loudspeaker, We worked closely with Celestion to design a unique lightweight loudspeaker using conventional ferrite magnets. based on the "soft parts" and voicing of the Vintage 30, the Zephyr has a big tonal punch yet weighs less than standard guitar amp speakers.
■ Low-latency USB audio as a tube interface for recording and XLR D.I. for live performance for professional connectivity and integration into your setup.
■ EL34 models: classic low-gain pedal platform with +10dB clean boost for sounds that go above and beyond, from chimney to creamy.

about the next-generation "Cab Rig" simulator technology
Cab Rig is our next-generation DSP speaker simulator that reproduces the sound and feel of a microphone-up guitar cabinet in incredible detail. cab Rig's new advanced algorithms have virtually zero latency, no phase mismatch, and much more than an IR snapshot. It allows for flexible simulation of speaker cabinets and rooms. Use the included software to capture great tones on the USB/XLR outputs or headphones.
0 Professional Connectivity
St. James is perfectly suited for modern performance styles, with USB audio connections for professional-grade recording and XLR/D.I. for live use, with built-in reactive load and Cab Rig speaker simulation.
