Blackstar DA5 RUBY Doug Aldrich Signature Combo
Doug Aldrich is widely regarded as one of the most respected guitarists in the world, boasting an impressive career with legendary bands such as Whitesnake, Dio, Burning Rain, Lion, Hurricane, House of Lords, Bad Moon Rising, and Revolution Saints. Since 2016, Doug has also been a key member of the all-star rock supergroup, The Dead Daisies, all while releasing several solo albums.
The DA100 Ruby turned heads and won awards worldwide. Developed in close collaboration with Doug Aldrich, it delivered a stage-ready tone that players everywhere wanted. The DA5 Ruby gives you exactly that. Same DNA. Same Ruby finish. Same legendary Aldrich character. Now in a form that fits your home and your studio.
Unlike most other low-power valve amps, which are single-ended, this is a genuine push-pull design that uses a 12BH7 valve and delivers the feel and character of a 100W valve amp.
