Blackstar Series One 100 MK II Head

Series One was first shown at Frankfurt Messe 2007 when Blackstar was launched. It has always been Blackstar's flagship high-gain amp line and is the most awarded line they’ve ever released. Featuring two patents (ISF and DPR), the Series One has been a dominant force in the rock and metal scene for nearly two decades, used by some of the biggest artists in the world.

Driven by a commitment to sonic perfection, Blackstar used everything they’ve learned about amp design in the last 19 years to elevate this iconic platform even further.

Enter Series One MK II, a refined and streamlined range designed as the ultimate modern flagship amplifier and cabinet, tailored specifically for the needs of today’s metal guitarists. This evolution of the range marks a significant leap forward in high-gain, high-performance amplification, with the 4-channel Series One 100 MK II taking centre stage—a high-gain powerhouse engineered for crushingly tight rhythm tones and thick, saturated leads, devoid of the unwanted fizz often present in other designs.

This juggernaut of an amplifier boasts over 30 circuit modifications and voicing tweaks from its predecessor, resulting in what Blackstar confidently assert to be the zenith of high-gain amplification for metal guitarists today.
