Description

Blackstar DA5 Ruby 5-watt 1 x 12-inch Tube Combo Amplifier – Ruby Red

From founding his band Burning Rain to rocking the stage with Whitesnake and Dio, Doug Aldrich’s résumé reads like a who’s who list of hard-rock history. Packing Doug’s stellar 100-watt DA100 Ruby head into a bedroom-friendly, studio-ready combo, this 5-watt, 2-channel amplifier boasts a push-pull, tube-driven power stage, delivering everything from screaming rock ’n’ roll saturation to clear, complex clean tones. Each channel sports two distinct voices to swap between, tweaking the original HT Stage per Doug’s request with additional midrange heft and a voice that captures the arena-shaking roar of an iconic plexiglass-laden vintage head. Next, a robust EQ section puts a comprehensive range of tone-shaping tools and switches at your command, including Blackstar’s patented transatlantic ISF tone-shaping knob. You also get a handy power reduction switch to run the amp at 10% power, a dual-voice digital reverb, and the ability to cop ultra-authentic CabRig speaker-simulated tones via the USB and XLR outs. To seal the deal, the DA5 Ruby comes complete with an effects loop and an FS-22 2-way footswitch.
