The Blackstar St. James 50/EL34 112 Combo Fawn is a tube amp combo with vintage looks and modern ease of use. This exceptionally lightweight amp weighs only 11 pounds and offers 50 watts of volume.
The 50 watt tube amp top from the St. James series and the 12 inch Celestion "Zephyr" speaker combine to make this beautiful combo and provide a great sound! Plus, this combo is easy to lift and carry around. Not bad for a tube amp!
The two channels on the amp each have a separate tonal character. For example, the first channel has a character of an American amp from the 60's and perfect for use with effects pedals. Channel 2 sounds more like a British classic with a raw 'crunch' sound for rhythm playing and a boost for your solos using a footswitch
This amp works in 3 modes. The standard gives 50 watts, the second 5 watts for lower volumes and the last is the Sag mode. This mode gives the amp a more vintage feel and plays wonderfully. There is also an Inductive Load present with which you can easily play through a PC, audio interface or headphones. You don't see this often in tube amps!
Finally, the St. James has a master volume, 3-band EQ, FX loop and reverb circuit and comes with a footswitch. This can be used to switch between the two channels on the amp or to turn on the boost on channel 2. Channel 2 also has its own gain and volume knob
Also a cool addition is the Universal Power Supply that allows you to connect the amp to any power grid from 90 to 264 volts at 50 to 60 Hz
