{"product_id":"blackstar-stj100","title":"Blackstar St. James 100 Guitar Amplifier Head","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Blackstar St. James 100 is a 100-watt tube guitar head for players who gig and record with the same amp. It carries two 6L6 and two EL34 power tubes that run as either pair or all four together, four footswitchable channels, and a power control that scales the output from full power down to about 5%. A built-in reactive load and Blackstar's CabRig speaker simulator feed XLR, headphone and USB outputs, so the amp records with no speaker connected. Blackstar lists it as the lightest 100-watt tube amp in the world, at 10.1 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFour Channels, Two Power Tube Types\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean takes its voicing from mid-1960s American amps, and Crunch from early-1960s British Class A amps, with a Boost switch that adds 10 dB of clean gain in front of the preamp. OD 1 combines cascaded tube overdrive with a British-style tone stack, and OD 2 adds saturation, with a Tight switch for a modern high-gain voice. The Output switch selects the 6L6 pair, the EL34 pair or all four tubes, and the Power control sets the power tube headroom anywhere from full output down to about 5%, so the amp keeps its power tube feel at low volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSilent Recording and Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting the standby switch to Silent sends the power amp into the internal reactive load and disconnects the speaker outputs. The CabRig speaker simulator then feeds the balanced XLR output, the stereo 1\/4\" line and headphone output and the USB-C audio output, with three CabRig settings stored on the amp and deeper editing in Blackstar's Architect software. The included FS-23 six-way footswitch selects the four channels, the Boost and Tight voices, the solo boost and the reverb, and MIDI In and Thru give a MIDI switcher the same control. The effects loop switches between series and parallel and between +4 dBu and -10 dBV, and the mains input accepts 100 V to 240 V, so the amp runs anywhere without adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100 W tube head weighing 10.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 x ECC83 preamp tubes, 2 x 6L6 and 2 x EL34 power tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutput switch for the 6L6 pair, the EL34 pair or all four tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower control, continuously variable from full power down to about 5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour channels: Clean, Crunch with Boost, OD 1, and OD 2 with Tight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBass, Middle, Treble, Presence and Reverb for the Clean\/Crunch pair and for the OD pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFootswitchable solo boost, adjustable from +2 dB to +6 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in reactive load with Silent standby mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCabRig IR-based speaker simulator with three stored settings, editable in Architect\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR D.I., stereo 1\/4\" line\/headphone output and USB-C audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEffects loop with series\/parallel and +4 dBu\/-10 dBV switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-position Cut switch for the 10 kHz to 20 kHz band at the speaker outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMIDI In and Thru\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFS-23 six-way footswitch included, plus a TRS jack for a 2-way latching footswitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal power supply, 100 V to 240 V, 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9 V DC logo power output for the illuminated logo on a St. James cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIlluminated front logo and Kensington lock slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 W RMS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreamp tubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 x ECC83\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower tubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 6L6, 2 x EL34\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 (Clean, Crunch, OD 1, OD 2), 6 footswitchable voices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 16 ohm jack; 2 jacks for one 8 ohm or two 16 ohm cabinets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e CabRig balanced XLR, stereo 1\/4\" TRS line\/headphones, USB-C audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffects loop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Series or parallel, +4 dBu or -10 dBV\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFootswitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e FS-23 six-way (included, connects with an XLR cable), 2-way TRS jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMIDI:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-pin DIN In and Thru\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMains:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 V to 240 V AC, 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W x H x D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 495 x 241 x 228 mm (19.5 x 9.5 x 9.0 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.1 kg (22.3 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blackstar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67380250214649,"sku":"STJ100","price":2879.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/stj100-1-front.jpg?v=1792174945","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/blackstar-stj100","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
