Blackstar Silverline 20w

Description

Purchased this amp as a gift turned out they had the same amp…I tried it out but already have to many…Nice amp great sound with lots of options…! I own a Blackstar tube amp and I have to say this gives it a run for its money…No effects loop but it takes OD, Dist, and Fuzz pedals very well into the front end…about 0 new from Sweetwater…!
Blackstar Silverline Series.
20W Digital Combo Amp with 10" Celestion VT-Junior
The Blackstar Silverline may not be the first digital amp to give variable voicings and onboard FX a familiar face. But it IS one of the first in a long while to make it look so easy and feel so darn fun. From its tube-laden guitar tones to its classic-combo looks and controls, the Silverline Standard is a thrill to play — strumming "Hallelujah" with reverb or chunkin' out "Unchained" with gain, you'd swear you're parked in front of a tube amp. In addition to its wide gain range (and we do mean WIDE), the Silverline Standard provides variable power tube emulation (KT66s to EL84s), an expressive EQ and ISF section, master resonance and presence controls (accessible by holding the "Tap" button), and gobs of gooey analog-inspired effects. It's all powered by a high-powered SHARC processor and Blackstar's patented TVP technology for realistic approximations of six in-demand amp tones. Not only that, but a speaker-emulated stereo output, MP3 input, and a USB connection make this combo a knockout for gigging, recording, re-amping, and preset saving/sharing.
Familiar layout
One of the Silverline Standard's best qualities has to be its choice visuals and streamlined controls. Not only does it don the sleek look of today's boutique guitar amps, but it puts every control exactly where you expect it. Gain, EQ, Level, FX — each function is assigned to its own dedicated knob. The smooth silver "faux-lex" and matching silver grille and logo are nice touches to boot.
Six amp voicings
Though its top panel may read similar to the ID:Core lineup, the Silverline Standard's superior amp voicings are on another level. With the spin of the knob, you've got access to six totally inspiring and entirely customizable amp voicings based on some modern in-demands.
Clean Warm — Based on an American classic. This voicing does a great impression of a Deluxe or a Twin, depending on power tube choice.
Clean Bright — As above, but with a chimier top end and sparklier overtones. Paired with a long hall reverb, this one's perfect for "Sleep Walk" slide work and "Shine On" chordal cleans.
Crunch — A broken-up British combo with raw high-watt heat. We liked this one best with EL84s. Dial back the gain for a touch of dirt, or crank up for sticky, syrupy sustain.
Super Crunch — Based on a consummate British favorite. Think Super Lead to JCM territory.
OD 1 — An all-controls-at-11 "brown" voicing. 6L6s and EL34s bring out the mids of the OD1 voicing in the best way.
OD 2 — 5150 territory. Throw out the gain knob for this one. This channel gives you a great front end for modern hard rock and
