The St. James 50 6L6 50W combo is a key component of Blackstar's innovative St. James amplifier series, seamlessly blending classic valve tones with modern functionality and exceptional portability. Marketed as the "world's lightest and most innovative 50-watt valve amps," the St. James range has undergone meticulous examination of vintage valve amplifiers to create an intuitive two-channel amp that excels in delivering sparkling cleans and searing overdrives.

Loaded with features, the 6L6 combo offers a user-friendly experience. Incorporating Blackstar's patented Dynamic Power Reduction design, it allows users to select from three power levels—50 watts, 2 watts, and Sag. This feature provides flexibility in tailoring the amplifier's output to different scenarios, offering ample clean headroom for gigs at full power and the ability to push the power amp at lower volumes for home use or a softer vintage tone with the Sag setting.

One standout feature is the built-in inductive load, eliminating the need for an additional expensive load box. This reactive load mimics the electrical response of a speaker, allowing users to drive the valves without a connected speaker and providing authentic valve power-amp tones for home practice or recording environments.

The St. James amps boast pro connectivity with USB and XLR D.I. outputs, enabling seamless integration into home recording setups. The accompanying Cab Rig software, coupled with the inductive load feature, delivers advanced DSP speaker simulation, allowing users to capture authentic valve tones in home recordings with zero latency. Overall, the St. James 50 6L6 combo showcases a perfect blend of vintage and modern elements, appealing to a diverse range of players.
