It's a powered FRFR 1x12 cabinet designed by the same team that builds Blackstar's amp line, and the intent shows — this looks, controls, and behaves more like a guitar combo than the PA-wedge-style FRFR options that dominate the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 50 watts through a custom-designed 12-inch flat-response speaker with an integrated whizzer cone for high-frequency extension, the Standard is sized and powered for home use, studio work, and smaller gigs. It won't compete with a drummer in a full-volume rehearsal — that's what the 100-watt Artist FR Special is for — but for everything up to that, it's a compact and genuinely lightweight option at just under 11 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere this cab separates itself is in the control layout. Rather than burying EQ adjustment on the back panel like a lot of FRFR cabs, Blackstar put a full set of top-mounted controls right where you'd find them on a combo amp: Volume, a three-band active EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble) voiced specifically for guitar frequencies, and a passive Presence control for fine-tuning the top end. All three EQ knobs are centre-notched, so you can reset to flat in seconds — useful when you're switching between modellers, patches, or rooms. A clip LED provides instant level feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnectivity is straightforward: a combination XLR\/1\/4-inch input on the rear accepts balanced or unbalanced signals from whatever you're running, and a balanced XLR output with ground lift lets you send a signal to front of house without needing a separate mic or DI. A built-in kickstand tilts the cabinet back into monitor position for better projection toward your ears rather than your ankles. Power comes from a Class D amp section with universal switch-mode power supply, keeping the weight down and making it road-friendly worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eType: Active FRFR Powered Cabinet\u003cbr\u003ePower: 50W (Class D)\u003cbr\u003eSpeaker: 1 x 12\" Custom Flat-Response with Whizzer Cone\u003cbr\u003eCabinet Type: Closed-back, straight\u003cbr\u003eControls: Volume, Bass (active), Middle (active), Treble (active), Presence (passive)\u003cbr\u003eClip LED: Yes\u003cbr\u003eInput: XLR \/ 1\/4\" Combo (balanced)\u003cbr\u003eOutput: XLR (balanced, with Ground Lift)\u003cbr\u003ePower Section: Class D with Universal SMPS\u003cbr\u003eKickstand: Built-in (tilt-back monitoring)\u003cbr\u003eCovering: Black Tolex\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 10.72 kg (23.6 lbs)\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 461 x 387 x 230 mm (W x H x D)\u003cbr\u003eIncluded: Power Cable\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52568673059128,"sku":"210000029727","price":429.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/2712\/4002\/files\/m0l6ox23mal1cxnn2foh.jpg?v=1782411516","url":"https:\/\/guitarworks.ca\/products\/blackstar-artist-fr-cabinet-standard-50-watt-1x12","provider":"Guitarworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
