New Blackstar Amps for Acoustic and Electric Guitarists

Whether you’re an electric guitarist, an acoustic picker/strummer, a singer-songwriter, or a performing duo, Blackstar’s latest releases should be of interest to you and many attendees at the NAMM 2020 show. From a tube amp and several acoustic combos to accessories designed to make life on stage easier, the new offerings from Blackstar are worth checking out.
First up are the 60W and 120W Sonnet Series acoustic amplifiers, each available in black or blonde Tolex to match your preferred aesthetic. All Sonnet amps were designed with the same guiding principle… transparency. They’re made to make your sound louder, not different. So, the Sonnet’s signature timbre is meant to be the tone you’ve taken the time to perfect.

Their cabinets utilize a ported design to extend the bass response without relying on larger drivers, thus keeping the overall size more compact and the weight down. If you tend to leave your amp on the floor, you’ll appreciate the Sonnet’s integrated tilt-back stand, which lets you angle the amp so its sound projects up and out to your audience. Alternatively, you can get the SA-2 stand adapter (available separately) to mount a Sonnet atop a standard 35mm speaker stand.
