Blackstar Series One 104 6L6 100w Valve Guitar Amplifier Head

Four selected 6L6 power valves form the backbone of this 100W high gain metal power house. The DPR allows the power to reduce down to 10W for beautiful power amp distortion at a much lower volume. Blackstar are setting new standards in tonal flexibility.

The ISF control works in conjunction with the Tone control. It allows you to choose the exact tone signature you prefer. CCW is a more American characteristic while fully CW is a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive.

The DPR system allows you to vary the amplifier output down to 10% of its rated power without any loss in tone or valve reliability. Pure valve output distortion and compression at any volume - a dream come true.

The Series One offers the ability to control channel selection via most MIDI controllers. The Series One can be placed in a MIDI chain, allowing you to select a channel on the amplifier and change the patch on a MIDI effects processor. There are 128 available Program Changes, giving you the possibility to access a vast number of tonal combinations.

All Series One amplifiers have plated through double sided PCBs for the increased mechanical integrity this construction affords. Designed to last a lifetime, Series One cabinets have a 18mm finger-jointed birch ply cabinet and heavy gauge wiring. The chassis, for mechanical integrity, are seam welded 1.6mm steel.

The Blackstar emulated output design is a new benchmark for pro direct recording. This no-compromise design makes it easy to get your tone to disk and tape. You can also use it to run a line out to a PA.

The amp features an effects loop allowing you to connect effects pedals or other professional equipment. The Level switch sets the loop to either +4dBV/-10dBV. Allowing you to use it with either professional equipment (+4dBV setting), or with guitar level effects such as effects pedals (-10dBV setting).
