Guitar amplifier manufacturer Blackstar today announced its first software release – the Blackstar St. James plugin. Created by the team behind the successful Artisan, Series One, ID:Series and St. James lines, this plugin promises to set a new standard in the world of amp simulations.
ENGINEERED, NOT SIMULATED.
Introducing the St. James plugin. Developed by the same British design team responsible for our tube amps, this is the most authentic guitar amp plugin on the market.
ST. JAMES SUITE – WHAT’S INCLUDED
ST. JAMES
EL34 AMPLIFIERS
The St. James EL34 is an amplifier for classic tones, combining premium British crunch with stunning American cleans. This amp has the warmth, ring, and squash that define the sound of iconic 60s amps. It’s ideal for pedals and comes alive when the gain stage is pushed to its maximum.
6L6
While the EL34 evokes vintage vibes, the 6L6 contrasts with the detail and clarity of modern designs. The 6L6 offers the same pristine dynamic range, but paired with our most powerful overdrive circuit to date. The Channel II Voice I design is incredibly close to its award-winning tube amp counterpart, with a “modern” preamp gain and a British-style passive tone stack, while Channel II Voice II delivers a tight, articulate modern metal sound.
JJN 50
JJN’s signature BLUESPOWER amp and effects in a modern plugin!
Introducing the JJN 50 plugin. Co-developed with Jared James Nichols himself, this plugin captures the tone, magic, and BLUESPOWER of Jared’s signature sound.
Jared has been using Blackstar since 2010 to create his unique BLUESPOWER sound. His energetic performances and bare-knuckle guitar technique have contributed to his growing reputation year after year, as more people become familiar with his unique blend of bluesy power and enthusiasm, all the way to bombastic, arena-ready rock ‘n’ roll. Now, with the JJN 50 plugin, BLUESPOWER sound goes digital.
Jared and the Blackstar team meticulously crafted a plugin that not only accurately captures his signature sound but also immerses you in his world with unique amp tones, stylish design, and carefully selected effects from Jared’s rare pedal collection.
This is Jared’s sound, reimagined and ready to be used in your system.
