Signature blues power for larger stages.
The Blackstar St. James Jared James Nichols 50W tube guitar head is the second signature model developed in collaboration with blues-rock guitarist Jared James Nichols. Designed for larger stages, this amp has been road-tested and fine-tuned across the UK and Europe to deliver Jared's powerful "Blues Power" tones. Offering custom voicing, power reduction options and advanced connectivity, this amp head is built to deliver top-notch performance for any guitarist seeking Jared’s signature sound.
Custom Voicing With Jared’s Signature Tone
Designed with direct input from Jared James Nichols, the St. James 50W head is built to deliver the blues-rock tones that Jared is known for. The amp offers powerful clean tones at 50 watts, with the option to switch to 2 watts for recording or practice, and a 'Sag' setting for vintage-style compression. Whether you're playing loud on stage or quietly at home, the St. James 50W head gives you complete control over your tone.
Versatile Power and Advanced Connectivity
The St. James 50W head features a built-in reactive load, allowing you to drive the tubes without connecting a speaker, making it perfect for studio or home use. This saves the need for additional equipment while maintaining the rich tube tone. With USB audio connectivity for recording, XLR D.I. for live use and the CabRig IR-based speaker simulator, the St. James head provides professional-grade connectivity for any environment.
Lightweight Build With Signature Aesthetics
Built with a lightweight cabinet made from Candlenut plywood, the St. James head is designed for portability without sacrificing strength or acoustic quality. The amp’s custom British Racing Green livery adds a stylish touch, while each amp is delivered with a signed certificate of authenticity from Jared James Nichols himself, ensuring its place as a true collector’s piece.
Power Reduction for Flexible Performance
The St. James 50W offers multiple power settings, allowing you to switch between 50W for live performances, 2W for practice or recording, and a ‘Sag’ setting for vintage compression. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for players who need a versatile amp capable of delivering warm clean tones or driven blues sounds at any volume level.
