Get True Boutique Character, Tone and Response with the Blackstar Silverline Special 50W 1x12---" Guitar Combo Amplifier

Introducing Blackstar Silverline, the world's only zero compromise, boutique-level digital guitar amplifiers. Crafted with players in mind, Silverline combines next-level DSP, player-friendly features, and plug-and-play tone sculpting in a stunning-looking line of stage-ready amps. Whether you're in the studio, onstage, or practicing at home, are the amps for the job.

Incredible Tone, On Demand

The dual-patent design Silverline series delivers an astonishing breadth of industry-leading tones with a twist of a few knobs. And with 128 onboard preset locations to store them in, it's like having access to a warehouse of high-end gear with push of a button.

6 Proprietary Preamp Voicings

With six finely tuned preamp voicings – Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD 1, OD 2, Silverline puts your favourite tones at your fingertips. When used in conjunction with Blackstar's patented ISF control, you can easily tailor your tone to perfection.

Patented ISF Control: The Sound in Your Head

Blackstar's proprietary ISF control works with the onboard EQ, sweeping from clear and open USA tones to the midrange punch of the UK's most iconic amplifiers, and everywhere in-between. The whole tone stack response is moved, yet the tone controls remain fully interactive.

Next-Level Touch Response: The Spirit Of Valve

Thanks to a high-performance SHARC processor and patented Blackstar TVP technology, Silverline's Response controls delivers the nuanced feel, vibe, and response of six of the most coveted valve power sections in the world - KT88, 6L6, KT66, EL34, 6V6, EL84. Plug in, select the perfect setting for you, and experience the pure tone of your favourite amps with more detail than you ever thought possible.

Better By Design

Designed by the same team responsible for Blackstar's acclaimed valve amps, the state-of-the-art Silverline models have the intuitive control of a traditional amp with the huge benefit of being fully programmable. The high-performance SHARC DSP platform runs algorithms that recreate analogue circuit parameters with supreme accuracy right down to component level. These are not modelling amps in the usual sense of the word - Silverline amps provide stunning boutique ---"valve tone---" on a highly powerful and flexible digital platform.

Studio-Grade Effects

As with every aspect of the Silverline series, the onboard modulation, delay, and reverb effects, all based on classic and boutique designs, are the perfect blend of pristine sound quality and effortless control. Even with four of each effect type, two knobs are all it takes to find your perfect settings.
