As Blackstar's lightest and most innovative head available, it is tailor-made for studio and stage musicians seeking an all-in-one amp to handle everything from DI recording to live performance and beyond. This is the EL34 model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWeight without compromise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSt. James heads are constructed from candlenut plywood, reducing the weight significantly while maintaining the look and feel of a boutique amplifier. That matters more than it sounds on paper. A valve head you can carry up a flight of stairs in one hand is a valve head that actually leaves the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTwo channels of range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Blackstar set out to make the St. James series their most versatile and portable amps to date, they did not cut corners on tone. Two channels take you from glassy cleans to vintage crunch and even gut-punching grind, with channel and voicing selector switches around the front for easy toggling and a footswitch input around the back to swap channels using the included external pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe EL34 voice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EL34-equipped model is fantastic for low to medium gain settings, with a vintage-tinged voice that sounds great in classic rock and holds up in heavy metal settings too. EL34s are the classic British-voiced power valve, which lines up with the character Blackstar describes for this version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCabinet simulation and power reduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe St. James comes stock with onboard cabinet simulation and power reduction. Adding features like these to a rig separately usually means extra hardware and extra cables, and having both built in is a large part of why this head works as a genuine all-in-one solution for recording and stage use alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101280215296,"sku":"ST-JAMES-50-EL34-HEAD","price":1321.1,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/blackstar-st-james-50-el34-head-01.jpg?v=1785439184","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/blackstar-st-james-50-el34-50-watt-valve-amplifier-head-with-cabinet-simulation","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
