Blackstar St. James 100 with Series One 412 Pro B MK II Cab

We're pleased to offer official Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) captures in partnership with TONE3000. The St. James 100 is the flagship of the Blackstar St. James series, a four-channel valve head that pairs EL34 and 6L6 power tubes in a single chassis. Players can run either tube type independently in 50-watt mode or combine both for a full 100-watt experience, delivering everything from classic American sparkle to aggressive British crunch within a single amplifier. Paired here with the Series One 412 Pro B MK II, a modern and aggressive 4x12 cabinet loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, the result is a rig with massive low-end authority, focused midrange punch, and smooth top-end detail. The St. James platform has been embraced by a wide range of Blackstar artists. John Browne of Monuments and Flux Conduct has showcased the St. James 100 for its tight, articulate high-gain tones. Ian D'Sa of Billy Talent relies on the St. James series for its dynamic response across clean and driven sounds. Guitarists Arran Day and John Hartwell of These Wicked Rivers run St. James heads through matching cabinets for their riff-heavy blues rock. FUNTWO, the viral guitar phenomenon, uses a St. James head as a core part of his setup. The Series One range of cabinets, meanwhile, have been a staple of Blackstar's touring roster for years, trusted by Gus G. of Firewind, Frank Hannon of Tesla, Frank Bello of Anthrax, Baz Warne of The Stranglers, and Fraser Taylor of Young Guns. The four channels span a huge tonal range. The Clean channel offers bell-like clarity inspired by American valve circuits of the 1960s, with a wide, open feel that responds beautifully to picking dynamics. The Crunch channel shifts into British Class A territory with a looser, more harmonically complex breakup. OD1 delivers a classic overdriven tone through cascaded valve drive circuits with a tight, linear power amp response. OD2 pushes into modern high-gain territory with revoiced saturation and open-loop power amp operation for deep low-end chug and sustain. Through the Series One 412 Pro B MK II's Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, every channel benefits from a balanced, full-spectrum response: controlled bass, aggressive midrange presence, and refined highs that cut through a mix without harshness.
