Blackstar St.James JJN-50 Head Guitar Amplifier Overview:

Blackstar collaborated with the talented Jared James Nichols to create this new signature model. This amp has been road-tested on tour around the UK and Europe and tweaked to perfection, to deliver Jareds awesome BLUES POWER tones.

At the heart of the JJN 50 lies a pair of EL34 output valves. A staple of many iconic amplifiers and revered amongst players for their vocal midrange and quintessential British essence. Jared has been playing a St. James 50 EL34H live since its launch and his new signature amp is based on that platform. Blackstar opened up more of the top end of the amp to allow a wider spectrum of frequencies through. This allows the notes to pop and snap off his fingers more percussively. Weve also added a unique BLUES POWER circuit which really kicks the amp into overdrive with rich harmonics and overtones.

The Blackstar St. James JJN 50 Head is a 50-watt tube amplifier head that combines classic tube amp characteristics with modern features to meet the needs of contemporary guitarists. It’s designed to offer a rich, dynamic sound with a range of tonal options suitable for various styles, from clean and crunchy to high-gain and saturated.
