Designed for electric guitar players, the Blackstar 1W Tube Amplifier Head is an amplifier head capable of driving 1W of power into 4- to 16-Ohm cabinets. This is a tube amplifier with an ECC83 in the preamp stage and an ECC82 in the power amp stage.

The amplifier provides two-channel operation with switchable voicing. EQ and overdrive are on hand, as is reverb, which can give your sound a sense of space. A 3.5mm input lets you jam along with your media player, while the 3.5mm headphone jack offers opportunities for silent practice.

On the rear of the amplifier you'll find a 1/4" extension output and a 1/4" footswitch input for switching between voices with the tap of your toe. With the amplifier's USB port, you can record straight from the amp to your computer.
