Blackstar ID:X 50 - Guitar Amp Combo

A True Player's Amp - Simple, Powerful, Inspirational

The Blackstar ID:X 50 is a total rethink of what guitarists should expect from a modern amplifier. Sitting proudly above the original ID:Core line and going straight for the jugular of the market leader, the ID:X 50 combines studio-grade sound quality with the tactile simplicity of an analog rig.

At its heart is Blackstar's most powerful digital signal processor to date, allowing for six expertly crafted amp voices, from lush, American-style cleans to brutal high-gain tones. Whether you're a bedroom shredder, weekend gigger, or YouTube creator, the ID:X 50 responds like a great tube amp, thanks to selectable EL84, EL34, and 6L6 power valve emulations that shape feel and response with stunning realism.

No Menus. No Guesswork. Just Pure Tone.
The extra-bright OLED display puts everything front and centre, letting you easily tweak up to four parameters per effect in real time, just like a real pedalboard. Forget diving into submenus or fiddly apps mid-rehearsal. The ID:X 50 makes tone crafting intuitive and enjoyable.

Unmatched Effects Engine. Total Creative Freedom.
With 35 studio-quality effects (and four running in series), you can build everything from subtle ambience to cinematic soundscapes. The onboard adaptive gate, 14 pre-effects, 10 modulations, 5 delays, and 5 reverbs give you a toolbox that would cost thousands in pedals.

And it doesn't stop there:

• 99 patch locations for saving and instantly recalling your tones

• Architect software for deep editing and access to an evolving online patch community

• CabRig IR-based speaker simulation with exclusive "In The Room" technology, delivering the experience of standing next to a cranked amp, not a sterile DI tone

• USB audio interface, line in, and emulated line out with speaker mute for silent recording or streaming

Why Choose the ID:X 50 Over the Market Leader?
The ID:X 50 integrates the user interface directly into the amp with speed, clarity, and real-time control. Some modelling amps feels like a tool, the ID:X feels like an instrument. Add in Blackstar's patented ISF tone shaping, custom 1x12" speaker, authentic power amp clipping, and a headphone amp good enough for mix-level monitoring, and the ID:X 50 outclasses the competition in every area that matters to serious players.

Whether gigging, writing, or recording, the ID:X 50 gives you everything you need to sound your best, with no compromise and no learning curve.
