Blackstar DA100 Ruby — Doug Aldrich’s Perfect Tone Has Arrived

One of the most respected guitarists in hard rock and metal, a veteran of Whitesnake, Dio, Burning Rain, and The Dead Daisies — Doug Aldrich has finally received the amplifier capable of delivering every sound he has been chasing throughout his entire career.

And now we have this amp in our hands too: the Blackstar DA100 Ruby.
This is not “another high-gain head.” This is the result of a year of development, road-testing, refinement, and personal tuning with Doug himself.

🔥 A Hot-Rodded Character Born From Obsession

“I feel like I’ve spent my whole life chasing the perfect tone,” Doug says.
Dozens of boutique, vintage, modded, and modern amps gave him fragments of what he wanted — but never the whole picture.

The DA100 Ruby is the first amp Doug has ever put his name on, and it shows.

Working closely with Blackstar’s R&D team for over 12 months, Doug shaped a brand-new OD Voice that delivers a vintage, hot-rodded Plexi-style roar with modern articulation and massive punch.
Every chord hits like a hammer, and single-note lines slice right through the mix.

⚙️ Fully Footswitchable FX Loop with Software Tweaks

Doug wanted absolute control — so Blackstar rebuilt the loop:

• fully footswitchable,

• adjustable effect tails,

• all parameters editable and savable inside the amp through Architect software.

Stage transitions have never been smoother.

🎧 Modern Pro Connectivity

With more musicians recording at home or using silent stages, the DA100 Ruby offers full professional integration:

• 🎚️ USB-C audio for direct multitrack recording

• 🎤 XLR D.I. with CabRig IR-based speaker simulation

• 💾 built-in presets and deep cabinet customization

This amp is just as impressive through monitors and headphones as it is through a 4x12.

🔥 Road-Tested by the Man Himself

Prototype units toured across the UK and Europe with The Dead Daisies, where they were refined under real-stage conditions.
The DA100 Ruby isn’t just endorsed by Doug — it was forged on the road with him.
