Blackstar Artist FR Standard

Your Modeler Deserves a Real Cabinet!

The Blackstar Artist FR Standard isn’t an ordinary FRFR box, but the result of decades of amp-building experience. Developed by the same team behind the legendary Blackstar amps, this 50 Watt 1x12" active cabinet delivers the authentic feel, dynamics and response of a real guitar amplifier - combined with the precision of a modern Full Range Flat Response system.

Real Amp Sound. Real Punch.

At the heart of the Artist FR Standard sits a specially developed 12" speaker with an integrated whizzer cone. This design extends the highs without sounding harsh, while the rear bass-reflex port provides rich, defined lows. The result is an open, natural sound that reproduces your modeling signal accurately - with the dynamics and response of a classic tube amp.

Full Control Over Your Sound

Modelers, IRs and effects can react very differently. Thanks to the active 3-band EQ and the Presence control, you can adapt your sound in an instant to different guitars, presets or rooms. Whether in the studio, practicing, or on stage - you decide how your tone sounds. That keeps you flexible without losing character.

For Stage, Studio and Home

The integrated kickstand lets you set the cabinet in monitor position so you hear yourself perfectly on any stage. The XLR output allows you to send the signal directly and losslessly to a mixing desk or interface - ideal for recording and live gigs. The compact size makes the Artist FR Standard perfect for home use or on the road.

Built for Guitarists. Made for the Road.

The solid cabinet follows proven Blackstar construction and guarantees reliability for years to come. Thoughtful engineering meets practical features here - strong, clear and road-ready. The Artist FR Standard is your reliable partner whether you’re dialing in new sounds, recording or playing live.

Full Range Without Compromise!

Many FRFR boxes sound like small PA systems - sterile and unmusical. The Artist FR Standard, however, offers true guitar character: it feels like an amp, sounds like an amp and responds like an amp - only with the versatility of a modern active cabinet.
