Compact Tube Power with British Character: Discover the Blackstar 20W Head
At the core of this amplifier are EL84 tubes — the true tonal heart that defines its character, response, and classic British sound. Blackstar has leveraged years of experience in tube amp design to combine the natural response of these iconic tubes with a carefully engineered preamp.
The result is a highly expressive amplifier delivering rich, dynamic, and responsive tube tones with exceptional versatility.
From boutique clean to full distortion
This amplifier covers a wide tonal spectrum required by modern guitarists:
- boutique-style clean tones with dynamic response
- smooth overdrive that cleans up when rolling back the guitar volume
- rich and saturated distortion for heavier styles
This versatility makes it suitable for both studio work and live performances.
Flexible tone shaping and intuitive control
Multiple voicings allow you to easily switch between styles:
- American Clean — bright and articulate
- British Clean — warm and smooth
- Classic Overdrive — traditional crunch
- Modern Overdrive — tight, high-gain tone
The EQ section is equally flexible: a simple Tone control for clean sounds and a full three-band EQ with ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) for overdrive tones, allowing precise tonal shaping.
Designed for stage and studio use
This amplifier includes all the essential features for modern guitarists. It comes equipped with built-in reverb, an effects loop, and recording capabilities.
An emulated output and headphone output make it ideal for silent practice and direct recording, while the built-in attenuator allows you to control power levels without sacrificing tone.
