The Blackstar Debut 100R 100W 2x12 guitar combo amp delivers powerful, versatile tone in a straightforward analog design. Built for guitarists who want premium sound without excessive bells and whistles, this amp reacts dynamically to your playing style and effects pedals. Whether recording at home, jamming with friends or performing live, the Debut 100R provides rich, expressive tone that serious musicians will appreciate.

Authentic Valve-Like Response

Blackstar's exclusive discrete MOSFET analog preamp circuit recreates the natural compression and saturation of traditional tube amps. This responsive design means the Debut 100R interacts with your guitar and pedals as if it were an all-tube amp, allowing you to shape tone with subtlety and nuance. The result is an organic, fluid quality that inspires creativity.

Powerful yet Versatile

With 100W of power, the Debut 100R provides ample volume for gigging and band rehearsals. For quiet practice or studio work, you can lower the wattage to just 5W. The amp's clean channel provides a perfect pedal platform with high headroom and shimmering highs. Switch to the overdrive channel for rich harmonic overtones and sustain inspired by Blackstar's high-end tube amps.

Shape Your Sound with ISF

Blackstar's patented ISF control offers unmatched tonal versatility. ISF blending lets you move smoothly between American and British-voiced sounds and anywhere in between. Dial in glassy highs and tight lows for a classic British rock tone or fuller mids and smoothed highs for blues and classic rock. The ISF provides a spectrum of tones so you can craft your signature sound.

Reverb and Power Control

The Debut 100R's digital reverb offers studio-quality spring and hall-style reverbs to suit any musical style. Adjust the reverb level to your liking, from subtle enhancement to washy, atmospheric effects. A power reduction control lets you drop wattage down to 5W, perfect for recording or practice at lower volumes while retaining the Debut 100R's dynamic, expressive tone.

Built for Pedals and Effects

The Debut 100R's series effects loop and footswitchable channels make it an ideal pedal platform. Connect modulation, delay and reverb pedals to the loop for lush soundscapes. Switch between the clean and overdrive channels with an optional footswitch to easily transition from sparkling cleans to smooth overdrive. The emulated line out also lets you record directly into your audio interface.

Versatile Performance and Practice Features

The Blackstar Debut 100R 2x12 includes essential features for practice, performance and recording. Channel switching lets you toggle between clean and overdrive channels. A series effects loop works with your pedalboard. Cabinet-emulated line outs provide a direct signal for recording while a line in allows playing along with tracks. You can also connect headphones for silent practice. With its simple, thoughtful design and features, the Blackstar Debut 100R 100W 2x12 guitar combo amp is a highly capable amplifier for serious musicians seeking premium sound and versatility.
