Blackstar IDX:50 Digital Combo Amplifier – All-in-One 50W Powerhouse

The Blackstar IDX:50 Digital Combo Amp is the next evolution in high-performance digital guitar amplifiers, blending the brand’s iconic valve-inspired tone with cutting-edge flexibility. Designed for bedroom practice, studio recording, and live gigging, the IDX:50 packs a serious punch with 50 watts of power, smart power attenuation (1W / 10W / 50W), and deep tone-shaping capabilities—all in a compact, gig-ready combo.

Whether you're dialling in crystal-clear cleans, vintage crunch, or searing high-gain tones, the IDX:50 delivers with six versatile amp voices and Blackstar’s patented ISF EQ control. Choose between EL84, EL34, or 6L6 tube response settings to tailor your tone to your playing style—without the maintenance of traditional valve amps.

Key Features:

  • 50-Watt Digital Guitar Amp with Selectable Power Modes (1W / 10W / 50W) for home, studio, or stage.

  • 6 Amp Voices: From clean to modern high gain, inspired by Blackstar’s award-winning tones.

  • 4-Band EQ with Gain, Volume, Voice and patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature).

  • Built-in OLED Display for patch names, effects editing, and real-time feedback—no external app required.

  • Over 35 Studio-Quality Effects: Modulations, delays, reverbs and pre-FX—all editable directly on the amp.

  • Authentic Valve Response with selectable tube emulation (EL84, EL34, 6L6).

  • CabRig Speaker Simulation: Output to USB-C, balanced ¼” jack or headphones with incredible realism.

  • 3.5mm Aux Input for jamming to backing tracks or music playback.

  • Compatible with FS-12, FS-18 and 2-button footswitches for total control on stage.

Total Tone Control – No App Required

The IDX:50 is built for guitarists who want pro-level control straight from the amp. The high-contrast OLED screen puts tone editing and patch saving at your fingertips. Tweak up to four parameters per effect and build your perfect sound chain in seconds. Save, recall, and refine your tones with ease.

Whether you're after a versatile home practice amp, a portable gigging combo, or a feature-packed modelling amp, the IDX:50 stands toe-to-toe with rivals like the Boss Katana, offering premium features, intuitive design, and uncompromising tone.
