Blackstar St. James TL50 6L6 Overview

The World's Lightest 50W Tube Amp
Delivering the world's lightest 50W tube amp with new boutique styling courtesy of blues guitarist Toby Lee, the St. James TL50 6L6 Toby Lee Signature Amplifier from Blackstar is a versatile and eye-catching all-tube amp head with matching 2x12 cabinet for a great sounding, vintage-voiced player's amp. Powered by 6L6 tubes, this amp head brings smooth crunch and sparkling cleans, perfect for blues and rock styles, along with the celebrated features shared by all St. James amp models, such as a USB output with Cab Rig advanced DSP cabinet emulation, power reduction down to 5W (plus a Sag Mode for vintage-style compression), a series FX loop, and two footswitchable channels, with a selectable boost for channel 2.

The St. James Toby Lee signature amp sports studio-quality digital reverb with dedicated level control, and you also get plenty of hands on control of your tone, with separate channel volumes, master volume, preamp gain, and 3-band tone control. You'll be hard pressed to find a tube amp combo at this power level that is easier to transport to gigs, with a head that weighs only 13.22 lb, and the matching cabinet sports a removal middle backplate for going from a closed- to open-back cabinet design. This amp combo includes a power cable, a speaker cable, and a footswitch, so you can get to jamming right away.

Handpicked Cosmetics
Featuring a limited boutique styling co-designed by young blues guitarist Toby Lee, this signature amp head and matching cabinet will leave you spellbound. Toby Lee is a young blues musician who has worked with Blackstar since 2019 and is also endorsed by Gibson, having performed with musicians including Joe Bonamassa, Peter Frampton, and Billy Gibbon.

The St. James 50 6L6 features red tolex, a basketweave fret, cream piping, and chickenhead knobs. The stunning red finish will make it stand out on any stage and announces the vintage-styling of this attractive and cutting-edge guitar amp.

Studio-Ready I/O
The St. James is ready for everything from studio recording and bedroom practice to full-on stage performances in medium to large spaces. You can even remove the middle backplate to turn the cabinet from a closed-back to half open-back for a different sound.

  • 1/4" instrument input on the front 
  • Series FX loop with dedicated send and return, plus selectable consumer or pro line-level input
  • Speaker outputs with 1x16-, 1x8-, or 2x16-ohm outputs
  • Cab rig simulated speaker outputs with balanced XLR and 1/4" options (1/4" doubles as line/headphones out)
  • Footswitch 1/4" input
  • USB audio output with audio recording functionality 
Uncompromising Sound
Hundreds of hours of critical listening against the most revered amplifier references mean St. James raises the sonic benchmark again. The 6L6 version has the same clean headroom as the EL34 version, but this is coupled with Blackstar’s highest gain Overdrive circuit to date.

The St. James utilizes a unique Celestion Zephyr ferrite speaker with a special, lightweight design. The Zephyr accurately emulates the rich sound and performance of Celestion’s iconic Vintage 30 speaker at a fraction of the weight, and this is achieved with a traditional ferrite magnet not a neodymium one.
