Black tar Serie One MK II Overview

Designed to always deliver quality performance whether in the studio or on the road, the Blackstar Series One 100 MK II is a 100W tube amplifier head sporting four 12AX7 preamp tubes, one 12AU7 preamp tube, and four potent 6L6 power tubes. Combining build quality and tonal excellence, this four-channel amp head offers easy American to British tones with the patented ISF tone control.

With Dynamic Power Reduction, you can use a variable control to shift the Series One MK II from 100W all the way down to 10W while maintaining proper sag and response, ensuring you always get the tone of a small overdriven tube amp at any volume level. Four footswitchable channels are provided, each with independent gain and volume controls. Two channels sport an overdrive button, while the other two channels are split between a clean channel (with Warm/Plexi and Bright/Class-A modes) and a crunch channel (with super crunch mode). The amp also delivers master 3-band EQ, resonance, presence, and volume control. I/O includes a series FX loop with FX input sensitivity switch, speaker-emulated output via XLR and 1/4", two 1/4" speaker outputs with selectable 4-, 8-, or 16-ohm operation, MIDI input and thru for switching via 5-pin DIN, and a footswitch terminal. The Series One MK II amp head includes an FS-3 footswitch.

DPR: Dynamic Power Reduction
DPR allows continuously variable power reduction, so you can use your tube amp in any playing situation and achieve pure tube output distortion and compression at any volume. DPR is a dynamic circuit, delivering the exact compression (sag) of a small overdriven tube amp, at any volume level. The power is reduced while the feel, tone, and reliability of the amplifier are maintained.
ISF: Infinite Shape Feature
The ISF control allows you to infinitely adjust the response of the tone control network between any of the traditional voicings in a way that has never been possible before. The whole tone stack response (bass, mids, treble) is moved, yet the tone controls remain fully interactive, just like in a regular tone stack. The ISF control is continuously variable between all the traditional responses, allowing you to effectively design your own sound.
6L6 Tube Power
Inside the Series One MK II you'll find a quartet of premium 6L6 power tubes and five preamp tubes (ECC82/12AU7 and ECC83/12AX7). The 6L6 tubes have long been the top choice for heavier music styles, delivering a rich, tight low end and sharp yet smooth highs that cut through any mix.
Better by Design
The Series One MK II is built for unbeatable tone and reliability, with over 30 circuit and voicing mods developed over years of refinement from the original amp. Designed for the rigors of touring, Series One MK II amps feature double-sided PCBs, seam-welded 1.6mm steel chassis, and birch ply cabinets. Heavy-duty mains and output transformers, made from top-grade, grain-oriented steel, ensure robust performance on the road.
