Series One MK II: The NEW #1
Since its debut at the 2007 Frankfurt Messe, the Blackstar Series One has been a benchmark for high-gain amplifiers, dominating stages worldwide and earning acclaim among top artists. Now, after nearly two decades of pushing the boundaries of amp design, Blackstar proudly introduces the Series One MK II, a refined, streamlined evolution of its flagship high gain amplifier series, engineered specifically for today’s metal guitarists.
The Series One MK II represents the pinnacle of high-gain performance. Featuring over 30 circuit modifications and voicing tweaks from its predecessor, this amplifier delivers crushingly tight rhythm tones and thick, saturated leads without the unwanted fizz often found in other high-gain designs. At the heart of this series is the Series One 100 MK II, a four channel, 100-watt head designed to be the ultimate weapon for metal guitarists who demand the ultimate amplifier. Paired with the Series One PRO 412B MK II cabinets, which feature industry standard Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, the amp delivers a perfectly balanced mid-range response with superior articulation and power. Together, these will provide an experience that redefines modern high-gain amplification.
