More details :
- Designed by Blackstar's world-renowned UK R&D team behind the famous St. James and HT Venue series.
- To achieve the natural sound of a tube amp, our design team chose a discrete MOSFET preamp. The saturation characteristics of MOSFETs are similar to those of tubes. Our R&D team has gone further than other manufacturers by offering a preamp so close to reference tubes that it's virtually impossible to tell the difference.
- The overdrive channel is based on our famous St. James 6L6 overdrive - a modern British tube overdrive. The clean channel is based on the clean sound of our famous HT-20R MkIII, which has plenty of dynamics and naturally saturates when pushed hard - ideal as a pedal platform.
- The line output with speaker emulation has the sonic characteristics of a miced cabinet and provides a natural amp sound for recording or headphone listening.
- Tested to Blackstar's exacting standards of durability and reliability, these amps are built to last.
- Headphone playback of Line In sources is stereo.
