So you'd have to buy a cab if you don't already have one. I'm not experienced in Blackstar I've never played on one but when I've heard them in person they seem more british rock tones. I do know that my local music store doesn't really have high-end amps to play with, but for testing guitars the Peavey 6505+ Combo is where I head to test. I believe its your combo just redesigned and an extra tube in it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Either way, concidering the amps and what they are. It sounds to me that other guy will be at the winning end of that trade. Hands down. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
