Blackstar St. James 50 EL34 50 Watts Head
Brand New. Authorized Dealer
St. James EL34 — the ultra-light valve head redefining modern tube amplification
The St. James EL34 valve head has arrived in our store, and it instantly stands out as one of the most impressive releases in the world of tube amplifiers. It blends classic British attitude with cutting-edge engineering, offering a rare combination of power, portability and studio-grade flexibility.
Pure, uncompromising valve tone
This amp delivers everything from shimmering, glassy cleans to the unmistakable British Crunch that EL34 lovers swear by. Its dynamic response makes every note feel alive, reacting beautifully to picking strength and playing nuances.
And for players who want more fire — Channel II features Blackstar’s most intense overdrive circuit to date, delivering aggressive, roaring tones ideal for modern rock and metal.
Built equally for studio, stage and home practice
St. James excels in every environment. With switchable wattage and a built-in reactive load, you can finally enjoy true power-amp character without excessive volume.
🎚️ 50W / 2W / Sag power modes
🎧 1/4" headphone output for silent tube tone
🎙️ XLR CabRig™ output for direct stage use — no mics needed
💻 USB audio output for pro-level recording straight into your DAW
The post-power-amp routing makes the direct outputs sound astonishingly authentic — something few tube amps on the market can replicate.
Ultra-lightweight construction with zero tonal sacrifice
Engineers stripped away every unnecessary gram without affecting strength or tone, combining:
🪵 Candlenut plywood for a lightweight but robust cabinet
⚙️ SMPS universal-voltage power system
🔋 Traditional transformer-like feel and dynamic response
The result? A head dramatically lighter than traditional valve builds — yet sounding just as big, warm and musical.
