Product Description
The Blackstar FS-19 is a compact, passive footswitch designed specifically for the Debut 50R and St. James EL34 amplifiers, giving you instant, hands-free control over your amp channels. With simple, reliable operation and no need for a power supply, it is an essential accessory for making smooth, musical transitions between clean and overdriven sounds in real playing situations.
Whether you are rehearsing, recording, or playing live, the FS-19 lets you stay focused on your performance instead of reaching for the amp panel. A single, clearly defined function keeps things intuitive, so you can move between verses, choruses and solos with confidence, keeping your dynamics and gain exactly where you want them.
Because the FS-19 acts purely as a controller, it does not colour your tone or interfere with your existing sound. Your touch, your amp settings and your overall character remain intact, while your channel changes become tighter, cleaner and more precise. It is a simple upgrade that makes a noticeable difference to how naturally your rig responds on stage or in the studio.
Built to integrate directly with compatible Blackstar amps, the FS-19 drops straight into your setup and is equally at home on a pedalboard or on the floor by your mic stand. For players in rock, blues, pop, indie and any style where nuance and dynamics matter, it quickly becomes an indispensable part of the St. James and Debut ecosystem.
Hands-Free Channel Switching
The FS-19 gives you foot-operated channel switching so you can move from clean to crunch or drive without ever taking your hands off the guitar. This keeps your performance fluid and expressive, letting you hit those key changes at exactly the right moment.
Designed for Blackstar Debut 50R and St. James EL34
Optimised for use with the Debut 50R and St. James EL34 amplifiers, the FS-19 offers simple, immediate integration. Just connect it to the appropriate footswitch input and you are ready to go, with no extra configuration or menu diving required.
Ideal for Studio and Stage
From rehearsals and recording sessions to full live sets, the FS-19 ensures your channel changes are smooth and reliable. It helps you lock in consistent volume and gain shifts between song sections, so your tones stay controlled and musical in every context.
Passive Operation with No Power Required
The FS-19 is a passive controller, so it does not require a power supply or batteries. This keeps your rig simple and dependable, reducing potential points of failure and making setup and teardown quicker and easier.
Features
- Dedicated Channel Switching for Compatible Blackstar Amps - Purpose-built to switch channels on the Debut 50R and St. James EL34 amplifiers, the FS-19 gives you direct, reliable control over your clean and overdrive sounds, making your amp far more versatile in real-world use.
- Simple, Single-Function Operation - With one clear role as a channel switching pedal, the FS-19 is easy to understand and use. There are no complex settings to worry about, so you can focus purely on your playing while still managing your dynamics and gain structure effectively.
- Tone-Neutral Control - Acting purely as a controller, the FS-19 does not alter your sound. Your amp settings, touch and tonal identity remain exactly as you have dialled them in, while your transitions between channels become faster, cleaner and more controlled.
- Passive Design with Zero Power Consumption - The passive circuitry means the FS-19 requires no external power and draws 0 mA. This keeps your setup streamlined and dependable, with fewer cables and power supplies to manage on stage or in the studio.
