Blackstar Amplification - JJN 50 Head - 50 Watt

Jared James Nichols has built a reputation as one of the most talented players in the world today; a true player's player. Jared has been a Blackstar Artist for 14 years and Blackstar has been honoured to work with him on his second signature model with us, the JJN 50 & JJN 212 VOC. As Jared's career has grown, so has the size of the stages he plays and it has come to a time where his amplifier is also in need of growth. Blackstar worked closely with Jared to develop his new signature model and they are extremely proud to reveal the JJN 50.

This amp has been road tested on tour around the UK and Europe and tweaked to perfection, to deliver Jared's awesome BLUES POWER tones. Jared has been playing a St. James 50 EL34H live since their launch (alongside his JJN 20) and his new signature amp is based on that platform. Working closely with him Blackstar opened up more of the top end of the amp to allow a wider spectrum of frequencies through. This is perfect for his finger-style playing, as it allows the notes to pop and snap off his fingers more percussively.

Blackstar also added a unique BLUES POWER circuit which really kicks the amp into overdrive with rich harmonics and overtones. When Jared visited Blackstar HQ in Northampton, UK they tested many different speaker types and combinations. Jared's preferred choice was a Celestion G12T-75 in the top and a lightweight Celestion Zephyr speaker in the bottom position. This speaker blend kept the cabinet lightweight while suiting Jared's playing style. To finish things off, Blackstar kitted out this new signature in Jared's British Racing Green livery. Every amp comes with a certificate of authenticity hand signed by Jared and some cool JJN collectables.
