Switchable / Mixable Valves
The St. James 100’s come equipped with two distinct power valve types: 6L6 and EL34. You can easily toggle between these valve types in 50-Watt mode or combine both flavours for a unique 100-Watt experience, harnessing the qualities of both valve types.

From Studio to Stadium
With continuously variable power reduction down to 5% power, you can preserve valve tone, feel, distortion and compression at any volume.

6 Way Footswitch Included
The included FS-23 gives the ability to switch between all 4 channels, all 6 voices, toggle the Boost function on/off and switch the Reverb on/off.

Versatile Power Valve Options
Switch between 2x 6L6 or 2x EL34 valves in 50 Watt mode, or combine for a full 100 Watt output giving you total flexibility at your fingertips.

Continuously Variable Power Reduction
Variable down to 5%, preserve valve tone, feel, distortion, and compression at any volume.

Built-In Reactive Load
We developed our own, class-leading, reactive load box which is incredibly compact and lightweight that accurately replicates speaker drive and breakup - built directly into the St. James.

CabRig IR Based Speaker Simulator
You'll find an array of outstanding classic cabinet and mic combinations over on our user-friendly interface so that you can create the sound in your head with ease.

Patent-Applied-For 'Cut' Selector
Tucked away on the back of the amp, you can shape your tone with our patent-applied-for three-position "Cut" switch, adjusting high-end frequencies for anything from aggressive clarity to warm, vintage tones.

MIDI Enabled
Integrates seamlessly into professional rigs, with MIDI switching of all footswitchable features for flexible control solutions.

Flexible Effects Loop
This can be switched between +4dBu and -10dBV to connect to professional level devices or pedal level devices as required. Also, it can be switched between the standard Series routing or Parallel routing. In addition to this, it is footswitchable by reallocating one of the FS-23 footswitch buttons of via MIDI.

Solo Boost
A small rear potentiometer allows the user to set the gain of the footswitchable Solo Boost level from between +2dB to +6dB.

Pro Connectivity
USB for pure valve tone in your recordings. XLR CabRig for stage brilliance without mics. And the 1/4″ output for that driven valve amp bliss through your headphones. A trifecta of sonic freedom.

Revolutionary Speaker
Collaborating with Celestion, we pioneered the extraordinary Zephyr lightweight speaker. Like a Formula 1 race car, we stripped back unnecessary weight, resulting in a lightweight speaker that still uses a traditional Ferrite magnet.

Lightweight With No Compromise
Candlenut plywood is used for strength, lightness and its beneficial acoustic proprieties, creating a roadworthy cabinet that sounds great and will last a lifetime.

Universal Voltage
Combining modern SMPS technology for lightweight and universal voltage compatibility with the classic feel and response of traditional iron-core transformers, this innovation is poised to set new benchmarks for valve amplification.
