Developed with Doug Aldrich, known for his work with Whitesnake, Dio, The Dead Daisies and more, this compact signature combo is built on the HT-5R MK III platform and voiced to deliver big-rig rock tone at manageable volumes. With a genuine push-pull valve power stage, custom Aldrich 50 speaker, built-in CabRig speaker simulation, USB-C recording and a striking Ruby finish, the DA5 Ruby is made for players who want authentic valve feel without needing a full-size stage amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DA5 Ruby is designed to capture the feel and character of a powerful Doug Aldrich-inspired rig in a 5 watt combo. Its push-pull valve power stage uses a 12BH7 power valve to deliver the response, punch and dynamics players expect from a larger valve amplifier, while power reduction down to 0.5 watts makes it practical for home practice, studio tracking and lower-volume playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA custom Aldrich 50 loudspeaker was developed with Doug Aldrich to give the amp more authority, presence and projection than a typical low-wattage combo. The result is a compact amp that feels bigger than its size, with enough depth and headroom to handle expressive clean work, thick overdrive and high-energy rock tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo channels and four voices provide a flexible range of sounds, from clean tones to saturated overdrive. Blackstar’s patented ISF control lets you shape the amp from tighter, more focused response to warmer British-style character, while built-in studio-quality reverb adds space and polish. CabRig speaker simulation, USB-C stereo audio output, XLR DI output and headphone output make the DA5 Ruby equally useful for silent practice, direct recording and live-friendly setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signature Ruby tolex finish, cast alloy metal plate logo and premium toggle switches give the amp a distinctive Doug Aldrich look. Each DA5 Ruby also includes a signed certificate of authenticity, Doug Aldrich Dunlop plectrums and an FS-22 2-way footswitch for changing channels and voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Signature combo guitar amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Output: 5 watts with 0.5 watt power reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatform: Based on the Blackstar HT-5R MK III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Stage: Valve push-pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreamp Valve: 1 x ECC83\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Valve: 1 x 12BH7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannels: 2, Clean and Overdrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoices: 4, with 2 voices per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone Shaping: Patented ISF control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker: Custom Aldrich 50 loudspeaker co-developed with Doug Aldrich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker Power Rating: 50 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker Size: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverb: Built-in studio-quality reverb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker Simulation: CabRig IR-based speaker simulator with cab, mic and room options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabRig Presets: 3 onboard user slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: USB-C stereo audio output for direct recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR Output: CabRig DI output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone Output: 1\/4 inch TRS stereo CabRig output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootswitch: FS-22 2-way footswitch included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad Protection: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Ruby tolex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLogo: Cast alloy metal plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Extras: Doug Aldrich Dunlop plectrums and signed certificate of authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you should buy this\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blackstar DA5 Ruby is a strong choice for players who want Doug Aldrich-inspired valve tone in a compact amp that works at home, in the studio and on stage.
