Blackstar St. James 100 100-watt Tube Amplifier Head Reviews

100W, 4-channel Guitar Tube Amplifier Head with Cab Rig Output, Switchable Power Tubes, Series/Parallel Effects Loop, USB, and MIDI

The St. James 100 head represents a groundbreaking addition to the Blackstar lineup, born from years of research and development to provide guitarists with a genuinely forward-thinking twist on valve-powered amplification. What makes it so distinctive? For starters, the St. James 100’s quartet of power tubes consists of two 6L6s and two El34s, which can be run all at once (100 watts) or isolated to either pure 6L6 mode or pure EL34 mode (50 watts). Thus, while the St. James 100 comes equipped with four footswitchable channels (Clean, Crunch, OD1, and OD2), these channels dramatically shift in tone when exploring the amp’s British, American, and combined power amplifier voicings. Next, each pair of channels features a dedicated control section comprising a 3-band EQ, Presence knob, and Reverb control, along with channel-specific Boost and Tight switches. And to aid recording guitarists and stage musicians who prefer to go direct, the St. James 100 also sports a built-in reactive load CabRig-equipped output. Finished off with a switchable Parallel/Series effects loop, MIDI, USB-C audio out, and one of the lightest builds you’ll find on any 100-watt head, the Blackstar St. James 100 strikes a perfect balance between old-school valve technology and innovative modern appointments.

An eloquent solution at long last...

By Frank from Maryland
Music Background: Semi Professional Guitarist

I purchased the St. James 100 Head earlier this year ( 2025 ). It has proven to be an extraordinary amp. At 22 pounds it's easy to move about and sits well on a 2 - 12" cabinet. Just the fact that I can choose between EL-34's or 6L6's for power tubes sets a benchmark with me. Not to mention the amp provides FOUR channels those being - CLEAN , CRUNCH , OVERDRIVE 1 , OVERDRIVE 2. I've performed various venues with this amp from typical small bars / restaurants to auditoriums to the Baltimore Inner Harbor Wine Festival and this setup has not disappointed me in any way. You can dial in just the right amount of horsepower for any place you are playing. The group I currently perform with plays a variety of genres from the 1960's to about the 2000's or so. That requires quite a broad brush to paint the musical palettes of those types of songs accurately. This amp does it very well ; surprisingly well !!! I also own a variety of other great amps as well so my comparison isn't from a starry eyed youngster without a lot of past experiences. I've been a performing guitarist since 1970. In summary , this series of guitar amp is a welcomed addition to the family and evolution of technology as concerns the guitar. Very pleased to own the Saint James 100 Head.

Awesome amp.

By Mark A. from Lancaster, CA

Very versatile amp I must say and the foot switch that comes with it really helps out due to all the functions the amp contain. My only issue is the built in fan does not work and I also noticed this on a 50 version as well not sure if it one of those amps that automatically turns it on once the amp heats up to a certain degree. This amp also pairs very well with different speaker combinations and the cut switch on the back of the amp really comes in handy

The modern amp i've been waiting for!

By Sweetwater Customer

I love this amp so much. The OD 2 channel with the tight switch on just gives the perfect modern metal sound or i can go over to OD 1 for some more 80's shred type stuff.

I love the 100 watt mode combining both EL34's and 6L6's as you're getting something unique that's the best of both worlds. My back likes the weight of it too!
