Great small amp??

Lord Rufus 21.03.2024

Yes a great amp from Blackstar good sounds on it's own but will excel with a few FX pedals.
If your fed up lugging heavy amps about as I am this could be for you. It has great tones and is well up to smaller gigs and of course can be miced up if needed. I believe this amp is designed as a first amp for beginner/intermediate players etc however it is in my opinion suitable for all especially if like me you are on a budget. I can't comment on reliability yet but hopefully that should be good. It appears to be well made and both colours look great I may have to have both!! Well done Blackstar its just what I was looking for.

Debut 50R - A jack of all trades

JakeBlu 14.03.2025

I needed an amp for home recording & gigs so when i seen the 50R, it suited me perfectly. The ability to change from 5W-50W is very handy for practicing at home when neighbors are "Not Music Lovers".

It's very versatile, travel friendly and easy to understand for someone without much amp knowledge, which i was. The ISF knob allowed me to get all those classic tones from the 60s which i loved along with letting me to find my own tone. Having an in-amp Overdrive got me into experimenting which i think is a great adventure for any artist.

Though i would personally lean towards a Room or Spring reverbs, the in-amp Plate & Hall give such a nice space around your playing and even adding a little bit goes a long way.

There's so many features on this amp that i still have to experiment with. The Clean Bright mode isn't something I've found myself using though i can see where it could be useful. As my first out and out amp, i don't think i could've chosen a better product for me.
Overall very very solid.

Fantastic!

KuzeX 08.01.2025

Blackstar are seriously underrated. These amps sound amazing, especially for solid state amps. So good infact, I bought 2 for a stereo setup. They have a tube like feel to them on the overdrive channel (as much as there can be without being tube amps) also a great pedal board platform.
And an absolute steal at the price. Most of my pedals cost more than the amp.
