“Living, breathing amplifier designs in their own right”: Blackstar breaks into the amp sim software market with St. James plugin

Blackstar St. James plugin

Last year, Blackstar debuted its St. James range of combos, heads and cabinets – an assortment of guitar amps that purported to be some of the lightest tube amps on Earth.

Now, Blackstar has announced its entry into the world of amp simulation software by transferring its portfolio of St. James sounds into a plugin format – which has been designed by the brains behind Blackstar’s Artisan, Series One and ID:Series ranges, as well as the original St. James line.
