Product Description
Jared James Nichols has built a reputation as one of the most talented players in the world today; a true player’s player. Jared has been a Blackstar Artist for 14 years and we’ve been honoured to work with him on his second signature model with us, the JJN 50 & JJN 212 VOC. As Jared’s career has grown, so has the size of the stages he plays and it has come to a time where his amplifier is also in need of growth. We worked closely with Jared to develop his new signature model and we’re extremely proud to reveal the JJN 50. This amp has been road-tested on tour around the UK and Europe and tweaked to perfection, to deliver Jared’s awesome BLUES POWER tones.
Key Features
- Based On - The St James JJN50H is based on the St. James 50 EL34H which has been part of Jarad’s live rig in recent years. They’ve opened up more of the top end of the amp to allow a wider spectrum of frequencies which compliments Jared’s playing style.
- Signature Tone - Low-to-mid gain pedal platform with a Blues Power boost circuit to unleash Jared’s signature growl.
- IRs & Reactive Load - Built-in reactive load and CabRig, Blackstar’s next-generation IR-based cabinet simulator which comes pre-loaded with 3x of Jared’s personal patches.
- Connectivity - Pro connectivity and integration into your setup using low latency USB audio as a valve interface for recording, and XLR D.I. for live use.
- Power Reduction - Power reduction switch with 50 Watt, SAG and 2 Watt options.
- Lightweight - One of the lightest 50 Watt Valve amps in the world thanks to its Candlenut plywood construction.
- Signed Certificate - Each amp comes with a certificate of authenticity hand-signed by Jared.
Separate EQ
Completely separate EQ circuits are used for each channel. This is achieved by switching dual-ganged potentiometers, which means there is no compromise in tone between the two channels even with the shared EQ controls.
Sag
The Sag setting generates more power supply ‘sag’ to accentuate the all-important amp compression, the ‘feel’ is softer and more ‘vintage’.
CabRig
CabRig overcomes the shortcomings of IR ‘snapshots’ and uses state of the art digital processing to reproduce the sound and feel of a mic’d up guitar cab in incredible detail. Over 250 mic and cab combinations can be saved into one of the three onboard slots. Each cab has a choice of mic type and axis, alongside room mics and master EQ. Connect to the free Architect software for more deep-dive options.
