From the Shed to the Stars Here at Blackstar, we consider R&D to be a culture rather than an operation. Innovation and creativity is something that runs from our core and is evident in the innovations and patents that have been created in our lifetime. Speaking to artists, musicians, dealers and distributors is a part of the many things we do to help create, with all ideas being relevant regardless of if they’re from a new starter or certified amp guru.
The countless hours of research and testing that goes into a Blackstar product is unrivalled by any competitor and as a result when you plug into a Blackstar, you’re hearing the outcome of obsessive sonic tweaking and engineering at its finest all whilst cross referencing some of history’s most revered designs. Although to some our approach may seem a little exhausting, the work we do is to exuberate guitarists, regardless of if you slow jam to blues, rock out to punk or shred to metal. We believe guitar to be an instrument of expression and creativity, that is why we approach amplification with the same process. The Innovation Station At Blackstar, we believe that guitar amplifier design is not voodoo or a black art – it is the application of engineering discipline in a musical setting. The real magic happens when we are able to provide you, the musician, with products that inspire you in your art. This philosophy drives us to truly understand the science of great guitar tone and deliver products that really deliver ‘the sound in your head’. We create every product at Blackstar ‘from the ground up’ as opposed to simply tweaking the old classic designs. For Musicians by Musicians At Blackstar, a passion for music is something that we have deeply rooted into our ethos and amplifiers. Blackstar have been, and always will be committed to discovering and nurturing the next generation of guitarists, with our highly diverse roster of world-class musicians covering genres from brit-pop to country and metal. Each Blackstar circuit contains numerous innovations, in addition to unique breakthrough technologies such as ISF and DPR. It is often these small yet important enhancements that give Blackstar products their characteristic sound clarity and flexibility.
