Experience Jared James Nichols' Signature Sound with the JJN 50 Amp!

Jared James Nichols, renowned for his exceptional talent and unique playing style, has collaborated with Blackstar to create his second signature model, the JJN 50. This amplifier has been meticulously developed and road-tested across the UK and Europe to deliver Jared's iconic BLUES POWER tones. As Jared's career has flourished, so has the need for an amplifier that can match the grandeur of the stages he performs on.

The JJN 50 is based on the St. James 50 EL34H platform, with enhancements that open up more of the top end, allowing a wider spectrum of frequencies to shine through. This is perfect for Jared's finger-style playing, making each note pop and snap with percussive clarity. The unique BLUES POWER circuit adds rich harmonics and overtones, kicking the amp into overdrive for an unparalleled sound experience.

Inspired by Jared's Vision

Jared James Nichols has built a reputation as one of the most talented players in the world today; a true player’s player. Jared has been a Blackstar Artist for 14 years and we’ve been honored to work with him on his second signature model with us, the JJN 50 & JJN 212 VOC.

Power Prevails

As Jared’s career has grown, so has the size of the stages he plays and it has come to a time where his amplifier is also in need of growth. We worked closely with Jared to develop his new signature model and we’re extremely proud to reveal the JJN 50. This amp has been road-tested on tour around the UK and Europe and tweaked to perfection, to deliver Jared’s awesome BLUES POWER tones.

A Legendary Core

At the heart of the JJN 50 lies a pair of EL34 output valves. A staple of many iconic amplifiers and revered amongst players for their vocal midrange and quintessential British essence. Jared has been playing a St. James 50 EL34H live since its launch (alongside his JJN 20) and his new signature amp is based on that platform. Working closely with him we’ve opened up more of the top end of the amp to allow a wider spectrum of frequencies through. This allows the notes to pop and snap off his fingers more percussively. We’ve also added a unique BLUES POWER circuit which really kicks the amp into overdrive with rich harmonics and overtones.

A Cabinet Like No Other

When Jared visited Blackstar HQ in Northampton, UK we tested many different speaker types and combinations. Jared’s preferred choice was a Celestion G12T-75 in the top and a lightweight Celestion Zephyr speaker in the bottom position. This unique speaker blend kept the cabinet lightweight while delivering the punch he needs.
