Blackstar has done away with unnecessary bells and whistles in favor of an amp that provides excellent tone and the most important features for a modern guitarist, including a series FX loop and headphone/line output with speaker emulation. You get a bright switch on the clean channel and patented ISF tone control for shifting through decades of amp voicings. In terms of actual speakers, the 100R sports one 12" custom-designed Blackstar Anthem 100 speaker. Plate and hall-style reverbs are also on tap for sweetening your tone.
The overdrive channel is based on Blackstar's award-winning St. James 6L6 overdrive, a modern British tube overdrive. The clean channel is based on the revered HT-20R Mk III's clean tone, with lots of headroom that breaks up naturally when pushed hard, making it ideal as a pedal platform.
Provide yourself with premium-quality instrument tone and signal integrity with the 20' Blackstar Premium Instrument Cable, a 1/4" straight to straight instrument cable that sports the same quality and attention to detail given to Blackstar amplifiers, including 21 AWG conductors made from 99.95% oxygen-free copper and superior quality 99% braided copper shielding with a shield ring and insulating wire for optimal signaling, RF rejection, and durability. With a PVC jacket and heat-shrink tubing along the solder connections, this cable also provides plenty of flexibility while protecting your connectors from damage.
The connectors sport solid copper tips for top-of-the-line signal integrity, providing superior signal conduction to gold or silver connectors. All Blackstar cables ship in sustainable packaging that is made from 100% recycled materials, and these packages can (and should) be recycled again. The Blackstar Premium Instrument cable includes a hook and loop cable wrap for easy and secure cable management.
