All the combos and amps in the Unity range share several key features, including three different preamp characters, namely Classic, Modern and Flat, a three-band EQ with semi-parametric mids, an effects unit with chorus and compressor, a line input for connecting a phone or MP3 player, a footswitch input, a line and XLR output with volume control and the option of connecting headphones. There is also a convenient switch for connecting active or passive bass guitars.
An extremely wide sound palette is provided by the three-position Response potentiometer, which, in addition to the basic sound of the machine, can conjure up a very convincing simulation of the 6L6 or 6550 tubes in a power amp, thus fundamentally changing the character of the sound. There is also a three-phase distortion switch with Overdrive, Distortion and Fuzz options, which, together with the built-in octaver, greatly expands the amp's sonic possibilities. The rear panel has been enhanced with an Emulated Out/DI output, a serial effects loop, a USB output for recording, and expanded chorus and octaver control options.
With these options, you can easily get a wide range of sounds from crystal clear tone to massive overdrive from the combo. A revolutionary new feature is the Cabinet Link connector, which lets you link the combo to an external Blackstar U250ACT speaker. This 250W speaker is active and an unlimited number of speakers can be connected using a simple XLR cable, so you can easily turn this combo into a versatile machine suitable for the biggest stages. Of course, there is also a Speakon output for standard external speakers.
So now you can have an incredibly versatile machine in your hands with an extreme 700W of power in a compact package. Also included is a two-button footswitch and a carrying case.
