Blackstar Debut 50R 1x12" 50 watt Combo Amp - Black
Manufacturer's Description:
Blackstar’s Debut 50R is a 1 x 12-inch combo amplifier that pays homage to the early days of solid-state amplification prior to the advent of modeling technology. It features a design free from digital components and a straightforward control layout, ensuring immediate plug-and-play usability. The amplifier is equipped with a custom-designed 12-inch Blackstar speaker, an all-analog architecture, and a built-in 2-mode reverb, which together deliver bright, full-range clean tones. Additionally, a quick transition to the MOSFET-driven overdrive channel reveals powerful, rich, and saturated distorted tones that can compete with the finest tube amplifiers. Furthermore, the Debut 50R includes several practical features, such as a line-in for playing along with practice tracks, a speaker-emulated line-out for silent recording or practice, and power scaling that allows the output to be reduced to five watts, enabling conversation-level volume without sacrificing tone quality. Collectively, these attributes make it an exceptional sonic instrument that is sure to enhance your practice, performance, or recording endeavors.
Features:
-A 50W all-analog solid-state combo amplifier, drawing inspiration from the straightforward functionality of traditional tube and solid-state amplifiers. This model serves as an exceptional choice for guitarists who desire the unblemished clarity of solid-state technology within a design that eschews modeling and digital elements.
-Equipped with a custom-designed 12-inch Blackstar speaker, it produces a rich, full-range audio experience complemented by a robust low end. The amplifier features a 2-channel configuration, enabling users to effortlessly switch between clean and distorted tones via a footswitch.
