Description
The Blackstar Artist FR Standard is a compact 50 W powered 1x12 FRFR (full-range, flat-response) cabinet for guitarists who play through a modeler, profiler or pedal-format amp. Blackstar designed it to feel and respond like a guitar amp while reproducing amp models, captures and IRs accurately, using a custom flat-response speaker and its own cabinet and power amp designs. The Standard suits home and studio players and has enough power for smaller gigs.
EQ Voiced for Guitar
Bass, Middle and Treble form an active EQ with a center detent on each control, so the cabinet stays neutral until a room, a stage or a monitoring position calls for a correction. Presence trims the top end with a low-pass filter. Adjusting the cab this way leaves your modeler patches untouched from venue to venue. A Clip LED lights if the incoming level or the volume pushes the preamp or power amp too hard.
Connections and Setup
The combo input on the back takes a line-level signal on 1/4-inch TS/TRS or XLR. The XLR output passes that signal on to a PA, mixer or interface, buffered and balanced like a DI, and the EQ and volume do not affect it. A ground lift switch deals with hum. The kickstand swings out to tilt the cabinet back for monitoring, and a Kensington slot lets you lock it to a fixed point.
