Benefit from a massive range of player-friendly features, including onboard reverb, a power reduction circuit, and a speaker-emulated output.

Delivers all of Jared James Nichols’ killer tones
The Jared James Nichols signature amplifier includes a JJN-20RH MkII head, which was voiced to Jared James Nichols’ exacting specifications. This EL84-fueled tube amp generates sweet-sounding cleans, high-gain grind, and all the tones in between —everything Jared relies on for his high-energy performances. Its clean channel starts with an American sound — bright, tight tone with solid bass response. Hit the Voice button, and the amp delivers a chiming British clean tone with a looser, resonant low-end that morphs into a mid-range overdrive when you push it. The JJN-20RH MkII’s BLUESPOWER overdrive channel starts with a crunchy British-sounding overdrive (the guitarists love how this sound cleans up with your guitar’s volume knob). Press the Voice button, and you’ll experience Blackstar’s acclaimed HT Venue MkII high-gain sound — aggressive grind with a tight, resonant low end.
Patented Infinite Shape Feature
The Blackstar JJN-20RH MkII amp head is packed with a massive variety of tube tone, by virtue of Blackstar’s Infinite Shape Feature (ISF). This exclusive feature shifts the EQ curves of the amplifier’s Bass, Middle, and Treble controls. When turned fully counterclockwise, you’ll lend an American characteristic to your voice with a tight bottom end and aggressive middle. Turned all the way to the right, you’ll enjoy more of a British vibe.
Loaded with player-friendly additions
There are a massive array of tones lurking inside of the JJN-20RH MkII. But Blackstar knows that players want more than killer tone. That’s why they loaded this already great-sounding all-tube head with enough features to ensure that it quickly becomes your go-to amp. Its studio-quality reverb has been designed to perfectly complement guitar tones. Nailing cranked sounds at appropriate volume levels is easy thanks to the onboard power reduction circuit. Beyond that, the emulated line-out and USB audio output will make you your sound engineer’s best friend.
