Time flies when you’re having fun, and making great tone machines in the process. It’s been 10 years since Blackstar Amplification was born and the British company now has a heap of awards, artist endorsements and acclaimed products to its name. “I’m filled with a huge sense of pride,” Head Of Marketing Joel Richardson, one of Blackstar’s founders, tells us. “Through innovative product design we were able to grow Blackstar in an established market at a difficult time for the global economy. I’m looking forward to the next 10 years and beyond. We see this as just the start!” And there’s plenty to look forward to before Blackstar goes up to 11, look out for anniversary models this year.
