Built specifically for the economical guitarist who wants to get the most out of their rig, the Blackstar Artist FR Special arms you with a lightweight, powerful sound solution for your amp-less setup. This 100-watt speaker cabinet is custom-tailored to deliver completely transparent, flat-response power that can drive band rehearsals and provide the backing you need when it’s showtime. Every nuance of your carefully sculpted tone is faithfully captured and brought to life with the Artist FR Special’s custom-designed speaker, whether you’re using a modeler or an amp-in-a-box pedal. You also get a 3-band EQ for fine-tuning your sound, an XLR output for direct-to-PA signaling, and an XLR Ground Lift switch. From the bedroom guitarist to the nightly performer, axe-slingers recommend the Blackstar FR Special to any player looking to streamline their modeler-powered rig with versatility, power, and portability.

Flexible options, minimal fuss

At its core, the Artist FR Special is designed to be a plug-and-play setup for your floorboard or modeler unit. A combination 1/4-inch/XLR input, an XLR output, and an XLR Ground Lift switch grant you versatility when it comes to integrating your rig. Better yet, the extra XLR output will be sure to delight any sound engineer, as it eliminates the need to mic your amp — especially handy if your current rig only has 1/4-inch outs.

Blackstar Artist FR Special Features:

• Full-range, flat-response (FRFR) guitar cabinet designed to amplify your modeler or floorboard rig
• 100W of power provides more than enough volume to handle studio sessions and full-band gigs
• 12-in. custom-tuned FRFR speaker with integrated port authentically replicates your rig's perfectly sculpted tone
• 3-band active EQ and Presence controls allow you to precisely dial in your amplified tone without needing to adjust your source signal
• Combo input, XLR output, and XLR Ground Lift offer versatile, low-noise connection options
• Built-in kickstand props your amp at an upward angle for better sound dispersion
