Blackstar Artist FR Standard 50w Cabinet
Designed by the same team behind our amplifiers, these cabinets deliver the dynamics and character you expect from an analogue setup—perfectly matched to your modeller or floorboard.
Whether you’re dialling in patches at home, recording in the studio, or stepping onto the stage, Artist FR provides full-range clarity with the familiar feel of an amp behind you.
Straightforward. Powerful. Designed for guitarists.
Modellers and IRs can vary widely. Artist FR’s active 3-band EQ and Presence control let you shape your tone quickly—ideal when switching guitars, patches, or playing environments.
Custom speaker with a whizzer cone delivers extended highs with zero harshness, while the rear bass port ensures lows remain full and well defined. The dynamics are unmistakably amp-like, so your modeller responds exactly as you expect.
