I've spent a few weeks getting to know St. James EL34 and I'm finally ready to show off the nooks and crannies of this amp. Spoiler: I like this amp a lot and I'm planning on using it as a personal gigging amp in the future.

Nice to see a review from someone other than a metalhead :) You worked it over in a way that was useful to me, as I'm thinking about picking up the EM34 version. Thank you!

@davidmrgn443 Год назад

New video idea. Mrs Hum offering astetic takes on amps/cabinets and where they could be placed in the home for decor value.

Just seen your review (Aug-24) and have to say you've done a great job in showing the 'clean' side of this amp as, like you, I'm essentially a clean player playing American and Rockabilly, but as you've pointed out it can certainly do the overdriven side if you want it to. Great review. It would be great to hear it with a Gretsch but I'm Sur eit would be good.

@Ace-lp2od Год назад

Got mine last week, just did two gigs with it, Indie, Pop, Rock...sounded great and very loud. Took my pedals great too even without running the time based effects through the FX loop. Obviously the light weight is a massive bonus too. My Hamstead artist RT60 is redundant at the moment.

@garrettmundy4914 Год назад

I want one for sure. We're in the process of buying a house so talking it up as a furniture piece is probably best chance of convincing the wife. It is a good looking and sounding unit.

@Ratchman_5000 Год назад

There's nothing quite like a nice round tight bottom end.

@caro_lam Год назад

okay okay okay, this is doing my nut in, you've played the little lick at 6:05 in a bunch of recent videos and it's driving me crazy. i know that song, i know how to play it, i've heard that so many times on TV, movies, commercials, i've heard it sampled in other songs, i've heard it on the radio, i've heard it in the background in stores and coffee shops. WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING RYAN?!?!!??

@GuitarHutGearZoneReviews1181 Год назад

Cissy strut by the meters

@leeoffender8406 Год назад

I've been kinda interested in the combo. Never had a blackstar amp but from what I've seen they all sound awesome. See a lot needing repair tho. Not this model (yet) but a lot of their older amps. So it makes me a little reluctant. Kinda been interested in the vht handwired ods clone thing too. By all appearances seems like one heck of a value.

@topfacemod Год назад

That amp is flat out lovely! Fawn and block-logo!!!??? Like Vox and Marshall had a baby.

@irlikingpie Год назад

Ryan giving the "educational segment on Yo Gabba Gabba" vibes today.

@patrickkeenan6331 Год назад

Sold. This is my next amp.

@DanSaunders Год назад

Really looking forward to trying the combo version.

@theyearsshallrun6641 Год назад

Would love one of these!

@topfacemod Год назад

On an ad on reverb confirms the reverb is digital.

@HisHiasness Год назад

I’m thinking about buying one, still have to check it out personally in a store. The features sound awesome (weight, headphone jack, watt reduction etc.), I’m just afraid that it’s a big step backwards tonewise, because I love the sound of my Engl Screamer.

@young__blacksmith Год назад

Been using the EL34 head love for about 8ish months. Best piece of gear I’ve bought after 10+ years of playing

@josemartinez-ul6gh Год назад

I see the head has a cooling fan, heat dissipation is usually overlooked by most manufacturers and the boards and tubes have a shorter Life.

@BlueBarrier782 Год назад

Damn't, Blackstar. Stop making new stuff I want . . .

@paulbuxton1326 10 месяцев назад

Bought 13 months ago gig every week 🎼👌

@sassycat Год назад

Once the Architect gets engaged, this amp really starts to shine.

@kebotrans Год назад

I love mine but why would they go to the trouble to add a light in the cab for the logo that he head cannot power? 🤦🏼‍♂️ total oversight

@bthjf12003 Год назад

finally heat dissipation taking seriously

@niksimon764 Год назад

I have this amp and noticed two things that I am questioning: When powering up, does it take like 2-3 seconds for the Blackstar light to come on? Also, my fan doesnt automatically come on. Wondering if it is temperature activated?

@paulbuxton1326 10 месяцев назад

Yes I’ve got , light comes on after a couple of seconds ‘ I gig every week ‘not noticed the fan coming on ??

@baignotaurelien7155 Год назад

Reminds me of the rivera clubster

@jacobfife7273 Год назад

Been thinking of getting a proper pedal platform amp to start jamming and maybe gigging with (a Spider and Amp Sims aren't gonna help in the real world). I need an amp that covers Beatles to Amon Amarth and I kinda want something with tubes. Sound like this might do the job. I'll probably get one of the combos to save some money though.

@PaulReno Год назад

I wonder how servicable these are.

@aperezdeal Год назад

I know that this isn’t the place for it but Frank Stallone removed the comments option, his guitar commercial is a visual representation of what I imagine cocaine use to be.

@60CycleHumcast Год назад

I haven’t seen it.

@ant1sokolow Год назад

Too big. But nice and good sounding. A wife approved amplifier is sure a good thing, but the volume would not be compatible with familly life. Garage is the place. Underground nuke shelter/wine cellar even better. Nowadays players are so into the 'pedal platform' idea they no longer use the dirt/distortion/ channel (if available) of their amps. Me to. But i recently redicovered the high-gain channel on my combo and it didn't sound bad... after some time time and tweaking. Many people didn't realize their amps got a nice tube overdrive built-in. Perhaps the Fender 'tradition' of Gain/More gain channel sound atrocity is the culprit for this...

@Mitch-6-Strings Год назад

Volume totally compatible designed with both the bedroom and stage in mind. Don’t take my sorts for it dig a little deeper….

@KoaCharvel Год назад

Looks like a perfect room size amp

@VodkaSelekta Год назад

This amp is clearly smaller than the room he's in

@rhykko77 Год назад

Cool amp .......and the head and speakers are very low weight

@alexandercamillo3771 Год назад

whats the name of the song at 31:19?

@james9802 Год назад

“Hey we’ve got this little amp, what should we call it?” “How about St James?” “Yeah sounds good, nothing negative associated with Little St James at all. Ship it”

@Space_pulse Год назад

Lol, are you talking about how St James wanted fire to rain down upon the Samaritans?

@pippydog28 Год назад

Played the combo today . It sounded good . But seemed quiet .maybe because I was just playing a hot rod deluxe

@alexdenton6586 Год назад

Sounds good but nothing special either

@ravenslaves Год назад

In a few years, if that long, you'll be wondering where all those pretty little amps went. If you remember them at all. You'll think, they made a bunch of them so how come they don't turn up on the used market? And the answer will be, because they all died prematurely because of their disposable construction. But as a focal point in a room, be sure you have throw pillows that compliment, and not clash, with the neutral color scheme of the amp. But beware that you maintain a juxtaposing color, and textural theme for the rest of the room so the amp pops, and doesn't get buried by the ambient surroundings. Always remember that any great decorating starts with the walls and moves in. So start there, with your eyes on the prize, your new focal point, the amp. And always use coasters (whimsical) when using your Blackstar end table.
