Blackstar Artist FR

Your Modeller Deserves a Real Cabinet

One of the key issues with modellers is getting a live feel — there's still nothing as much fun as moving air with a cab. Plus, you want to hear with clarity.

• Designed by the same team behind Blackstar amps, these cabs give your modeller or floorboard the dynamics and character you expect from an analogue setup.
• Whether you’re dialling in patches at home, recording in the studio, or stepping onto a stage, the Artist FR delivers full-range clarity with the feel of an amp behind you.

Straightforward. Powerful. Designed for Guitarists.

Full Range Without the Guesswork

Modellers and IRs can vary wildly. The Artist FR’s active 3-band EQ and Presence control allow you to shape your tone fast — perfect when switching guitars, patches, or playing in different environments.

Custom Speaker. Guitar Amp Feel.

• The custom speaker, equipped with a whizzer cone, delivers extended highs with zero harshness.
• A bass port on the rear ensures the lows are full and defined.
• The dynamics are unmistakably “amp-like,” ensuring your modeller reacts exactly how you expect it to.

Made to Play. Built to Last.

Blackstar has utilized their proven cabinet construction and power-amp knowledge to make the Artist FR stage-tough, road-ready, and dependable night after night.

Two Sizes. Same Attitude.

• Artist FR Standard: A compact and powerful 50W 1×12 cabinet that fits anywhere yet punches way above its weight. Perfect for home players, studio use, and smaller gigs.
• Artist FR Special: A larger, louder, and stage-ready 100W 1×12 cabinet that delivers the same tone and feel for rehearsals and full-stage setups.

Always Hear Yourself Clearly

A built-in kickstand shifts the cabinet into a monitor position, providing better projection during rehearsals and live performances.

Finally, FRFR That Feels Right

Most FRFR cabs feel like PAs pretending to be guitar amps — too clinical, too big, too expensive. The Artist FR flips the script.
