Six preamp voices span clean country twang through razorsharp funk, classic rock crunch, and blazing modern metal saturation. 128 programmable presets store complete amp and effects settings. Blackstar's ISF tone control adds American-to-British character shaping. Built-in effects, USB connectivity for re-amping, and a speaker-emulated output make it a complete studio and gigging modeling platform.

Voiced to capture the warm, singing humbucker tone that characterises Kingfish modern blues style on the Fender Kingfish Stratocaster. Provides a balance of warm low-end weight, defined midrange, and smooth top-end that suits single-note blues lead playing and chord work.
