 Blackstar Debut-50


Debut 50 takes the Debut range to the next level as the perfect “plug-in-and-play” 50W pedal platform.

The concept of the Debut 50R is a simple and elegant, all-analogue alternative to entry level digital modelling amplifiers. Ideal for pedal players, the Debut 50R focuses more on tone and usability rather than unwanted “bells and whistles”.

The features have been carefully selected to include two footswitchable channels, a patented ISF tone control, power reduction and built-in reverb - the Debut 50 covers all an aspiring guitarist’s practise and gigging needs.

To deliver the natural sounding response of a valve amp, Blackstar’s Northampton-based design team have chosen to implement a discrete MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) preamp. The overdrive characteristics of MOSFETs are similar to those of valves. The R&D team have gone beyond other manufacturer’s MOSFET implementations to deliver a preamp design that is virtually indistinguishable from the chosen valve references.

The DEBUT 50R is available in two beautiful boutique stylings: cream covering with oxblood fret or black and ‘biscuit’ basketweave.

    2 Channels – Clean + Overdrive
    Patented ISF tone control
    ‘Plate’ and ‘Hall’ Reverb options
    Line In for jamming along or listening to music

The Line In can be used to listen to music, games, movies, backing tracks and more.
Blackstar’s design philosophy has always been to deliver the ultimate tools for self-expression to guitarists, no matter what their ability or budget. This new product continues that tradition within the Debut range.
The DEBUT 30E’s amazing tone, feel and features will inspire beginners to play and make for a perfect first amplifier for practice and performance.

The ultimate playing experience for any guitarist beginning their journey.

Practice & Record
Debut 10E & 15E’s convenient headphone/recording output simulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet in incredible detail, providing addictively organic tones for silent practice or direct home recording.

Your All-In-One Bedroom Speaker
Rather than a conventional guitar speaker, Debut 10E & 15E amps are equipped with a pair of stereo linear speakers akin to those you would find on a HiFi system. This means the Debut 10E & 15E doubles up as a great sounding speaker for Music, Film and Gaming Audio

Patented ISF Control
Debut 10E & 15E comes equipped with our patented ISF EQ, allowing you to effortlessly dial-in incredible sounds.
