Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Blackstar Series One amplifier. Like all our products,
this amp is the result of countless hours of painstaking Research and Development
by our world-class design team. Based in Northampton (UK), the Blackstar team are
all experienced musicians themselves and the sole aim of the development process
is to provide guitarists with products which are the ultimate tools for self expression.
All Blackstar products are subjected to extensive laboratory and road testing to
ensure that they are truly uncompromising in terms of reliability, quality and above
all TONE.
The S1-104 is available in two output valve configurations delivering two distinctly
different sonic signatures. The EL34 powered version, which is honed to deliver the
ultimate in Brit influenced rock tones and the 6L6 version which has been voiced for
a more aggressive US metal influenced sound.
The S1-104's highly flexible four channel design features the unique DPR (Dynamic
Power Reduction) and ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) controls and although it has a
comprehensive control set, it is still simple and intuitive to use. Please read through
this handbook carefully to ensure you get the maximum benefit from your new
Blackstar product.
