Jared James Nichols has built a reputation as one of the most talented players in the world today, a true playerโ€™s player. Jared has been a Blackstar Artist for 14 years, and theyโ€™ve been honoured to work with him on his second signature model, the JJN 50 & JJN 212 VOC.

The JJN-50H is based on the St. James 50 EL34, but it has an extended top-end frequency range and a unique speaker combination. It has a low-to-mid gain pedal platform and a Blues Power boost circuit and includes CabRig, Blackstar's next-gen IR-based cabinet simulator, which comes pre-loaded with 3x of Jaredโ€™s personal patches.

It comes with a Built-in reactive load and a Power reduction switch with 50 Watt, SAG and 2 Watt options, Pro connectivity and integration into your setup using low latency USB audio as a valve interface for recording, and XLR D.I. for live use.

"I first plugged in to a Blackstar amp in 2010. I remember the feeling it gave me, I LOVED IT. When I first chased my dream of forming my band and making original music, it started with a Les Paul and a Blackstar. Now 14 years later, that combination remains the same. Simply put, I have developed and found my entire sonic sound with Blackstar.

In 2019, I was blessed to release my first signature model, the JJN 20. I couldnโ€™t have been more happy. But as time went on and my career continued to grow, so did my needs in an amplifier. So here we areโ€ฆ the JJN 50, an absolute beast of an amp. Packing all of the power, tone, versatility, and inspiration I could ever ask for, this one can genuinely do it all. I proudly worked closely with the engineers on every single facet of this amp; we put our heart and soul into it. I am absolutely blown away by the final product and I think you will be too.

I hope you harness the musical freedom and passion in this amplifier. Although it is a signature model, rest assured, it was designed with the intention to speak to you, empower you, and inspire YOU on your musical journey. Much love & BLUES POWER!โ€
