Description
Inspired by Jared’s Vision
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 we’ve been honoured to work with him on his second signature model with us, the JJN 50 & JJN 212 VOC.
Power Prevails
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. We worked closely with Jared to develop his new signature model and we’re 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.
A Legendary Core
At the heart of the JJN 50 lies a pair of EL34 output valves. A staple of many iconic amplifiers and revered amongst players for their vocal midrange and quintessential British essence. Jared has been playing a St. James 50 EL34H live since its launch (alongside his JJN 20) and his new signature amp is based on that platform. Working closely with him we’ve opened up more of the top end of the amp to allow a wider spectrum of frequencies through. This allows the notes to pop and snap off his fingers more percussively. We’ve also added a unique BLUES POWER circuit which really kicks the amp into overdrive with rich harmonics and overtones.
A Cabinet LikeNo Other
When Jared visited Blackstar HQ in Northampton, UK we 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 unique speaker blend kept the cabinet lightweight while delivering the punch he needs.
