Blackstar Artist FR Special 100W 1×12 FRFR Speaker Cabinet with Kickstand New | In Stock

Artist FR Design Philosophy

The Artist FR range delivers professional active cabinet performance in an accessible format, designed for players who want accuracy and clarity at home, in the studio, or on stage—without the bulk and cost of oversized PA systems. Featuring two models—the 50-watt Artist FR Standard for home and studio use and the 100-watt Artist FR Special for rehearsals and gigs—both provide the same transparent, uncoloured full-range sound, scaled to suit your needs. While offering true FRFR response, these cabinets retain the feel of a guitar amp, thanks to custom speakers with whizzer cones that extend highs smoothly without harshness and deliver unmistakably amp-like dynamics for authentic modeller interaction. Their guitar-combo styling ensures they look right at home as part of your backline, rather than resembling generic PA gear.

Purpose-Built for Guitarists

Unlike generic PA speakers, Artist FR cabinets are engineered specifically for guitar modelling rigs. The custom-designed 12″ FRFR speakers with whizzer cones extend high frequencies smoothly, avoiding harshness while retaining the organic dynamics of a guitar amp. This means your modeller reacts exactly as expected, preserving the authentic playing feel.

Two Models, One Transparent Sound

Choose the 50W Artist FR Standard for home and studio use, or the 100W Artist FR Special for rehearsals and live gigs. Both share the same uncoloured, full-range sound signature, scaled in volume and power to suit your needs. Lightweight Class D power sections and universal SMPS make them easy to transport and reliable worldwide.
