Blackstar Series One 100 MKII 100-Watt Tube Amplifier Head – Black

**ETA:End November**

A Comprehensive Upgrade to the Blackstar That Started It All

The Series One MK II is a refined and streamlined range designed as the ultimate modern flagship amplifier and cabinet, tailored specifically for the needs of today’s metal guitarists. This evolution of the range marks a significant leap forward in high gain, high performance amplification, with the 4 channel Series One 100 MK II taking centre stage—a high-gain powerhouse engineered for crushingly tight rhythm tones and thick saturated leads, devoid of the unwanted fizz often present in other designs.
