Blackstar Silverline Special 50 Watt Boutique Modeling Amp

True Boutique Character, Tone and Response from Blackstar's Most Powerful Digital Amplifiers Ever

Silverline guitar amplifiers marry boutique character, effortless tonal tweaking, and next-level digital processing power to create the most attractive, best sounding and most responsive digital amplifiers available today. Finally, a boutique, digital amp without compromise. Forget gear that claims ‘real-amp tone’ and get back to playing real amps, the Silverline series. 

Your Silver Bullet

From effortless control over an array of classic tones to their gig-ready power sections, the Silverline Series will be your go-to amp for every situation. Whether bathing in the boutique-level tone powered by the incredibly powerful SHARC® processor and dual-patent design, recording via the onboard USB interface or dialling in the perfect blend of boutique, studio-grade effects, Silverline delivers.

Next-Level Touch Response

Thanks to a high-performance SHARC® processor and patented Blackstar TVP technology, Silverline’s Response controls delivers the nuanced feel, vibe, and response of six of the most coveted valve power sections in the world – KT88, 6L6, KT66, EL34, 6V6, EL84. Plug in, select the perfect setting for you, and experience the pure tone of your favourite amps with more detail than you ever thought possible

Genuine Celestion Speakers

Silverline is the new standard in digital guitar amplification. To enforce this, we’ve fitted each of the amps with the standard in guitar speakers, Celestion V-Types. With their balanced sound and singing mids, they are the perfect choice for delivering Silverline's wide breadth of tone.

Patented ISF Control

Blackstar's proprietary ISF control works with the onboard EQ, sweeping from clear and open USA tones to the midrange punch of the UK's most iconic amplifiers, and everywhere in-between. The whole tone stack response is moved, yet the tone controls remain fully interactive.

6 Proprietary Preamp Voices

With six finely tuned preamp voicings – Clean Warm, Clean Bright, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD 1, OD 2 – Silverline puts your favourite tones at your disposal. When used in conjunction with Blackstar's patented ISF control you can easily tailor your tone to perfection.

All-in-One Recording Solution

Silverline is a simple and inspiring way to capture your tones in the studio. Whether taking a line from the combination Phones/Emulated output, using the plug-and-play USB recording interface capabilities or mic'ing the speaker, Silverline makes the perfect studio companion.

Studio Grade Effects

As with every aspect of the Silverline series, the onboard modulation, delay, and reverb effects, all based on classic and boutique designs, are the perfect blend of pristine sound quality and effortless control. Even with four of each effect type, two knobs are all it takes to find your perfect settings.

Deep Editing with INSIDER

Silverline is the most intuitive, boutique-level digital amp on the market. But plug in your computer via USB, and Blackstar's free INSIDER software unleashes a world of deep editing, preset organization and patch sharing that gives you total controls of every aspect of your sound.

Silverline Special

When it’s time to push some air, you want the Silverline Special. With 50 Watts of power emanating out of a 12” Celestion V-Type speaker, the Special boasts enough volume and headroom to equal any similarly powered valve design. Ideal for live players that need a wealth of tones on demand, it’s loaded with six easily adjustable voices, six Response settings, and 12 studio-grade onboard effects ready to answer the call. Pair it with Blackstar’s FS-10 4-button footswitch (optional), and swing from ambient cleans to sustaining leads in an instant.
