Built-in inductive load
St. James amps have a built-in reactive load allowing you to drive the valves without a speaker connected. The reactive load mimics the electrical response of a typical loudspeaker to deliver the authentic valve power-amp tones possible in the studio or at home. No need to spend over $1000 on another piece of equipment.

Power reduction
Based on Blackstars patented Dynamic Power Reduction design you can easily switch from 50 Watts for the loudest clean headroom, down to 5 Watts for practising, recording or smaller gigs, or a more overdriven power amp tone. The third option is Sag. This setting generates more power supply ‘sag’ to accentuate the all- important amp compression, the ‘feel’ is softer and more ‘vintage’.

Universal power supply
Their universal power supply, is lightweight and can be used anywhere in the world from 90V to 264V 50/60Hz.

Lightweight cabinet
Candlenut plywood is used for strength and lightness and it’s beneficial acoustic proprieties, creating a roadworthy cabinet that sounds great and won’t let you down.

Stunning boutique looks and a new illuminated logo
Desirability is as essential as amazing sound, so Blackstar are delighted to share a completely new look for St. James including an illuminated logo inspired by their original Artisan amps.
