Debut 100R 1x12 Combo

Note

Blackstar scaled its no-frills all-analogue Debut line up to 100W in 1x12, 2x12, head and cab formats for 2025, with a MOSFET preamp voiced on the HT-20R MKIII and St. James 6L6. A 5W power-reduction mode, ISF tone shaping and a speaker-emulated line out suit it to both gigs and silent practice.
