I’ve really liked this amp, for home experimental use to playing gigs, it’s been great. My only issue is there’s no controlling between clean and “blues power“. Once you engage blues power switch, wherever your plain clean volume was your volume jumps up way louder without any way to control it. I’ve had fun figuring out ways around this one flaw. But nonetheless, great amp!! I just always keep blues power on ????

I absolutely love this amp. It’s beautiful and sounds great pair with my PRS McCarty or LTD Ec1000 with (EMG Het Set). AMS was awesome with a support issue. Sounds wise it works well for almost anything. Clean to metal. Very similar if not identical to the HT20/40 heads. Again it looks fantastic. Excellent build quality and feel. Love pedals. 2w setting is great for living room playing with no tone lose.

This is a screaming good amp..20 watts, but plenty loud..great tone for anything from blues to classic rock and beyond..the mismatched speakers in the vertical cab make this amp sound HUGE..technically a 2 channel amp, but 2 voicings per channel make for a great variety...I love this amp!!

Two words: Kick As#!
Haven’t owned a Blackstar in a long time and for good reason. They never had the thump. All the gain in the world and some decent cleans but never any real punch. This amp is a game changer for Blackstar. This thing sounds HUGE. EQ actually works and I am in LOVE with the different voicings. Solid cleans, enough gain to djent, and loud enough to play over a drummer and quiet enough to play at home. Overall a home run for Jared and the Blackstar team. Pat on the back deserved.

I've always been interested in Blackstar, but with all my other amps, I never really had a reason to grab one until now! The JJN is nails!
I play hard rock and also do a lot of ambient soundscapes, and the dynamics of the JJN make nearly everything sound great. It is a very articulate amp, and it responds to the playing style of whoever is jamming. You can tell if it's me or my other guitarist, even with all the settings being the same.
All around, it is just a great and powerful lunchbox amp. The tubes, the mismatched speakers in the cab, 4 distinct channels (clean/dirty with unique voicing options), and the ISF knobs allows even more range.
Between this and my Victory Kraken preamp, I have about every tone I would ever need.
