FIREWIND/OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist Gus G. (real name: Kostas Karamitroudis) recently spoke with Rob Chapman about Gus' new Blackstar Series One Blackfire signature amplifier. You can now watch the chat below.

Blackstar has been working closely with Gus to create the ultimate heavy metal amp. Based on Blackstar's award-winning Series One 200 amp design, this 200W limited-edition tube amplifier has been voiced in partnership with Gus.
Four switchable channels are offered: a Clean channel with Warm and Bright modes, a Crunch channel with Crunch and Super Crunch modes, plus Fire and Fury overdrive channels specially voiced in partnership with Gus for a devastating full metal assault.

The Blackfire 200 features a custom cosmetic including a brushed aluminum front panel with an "Evil G"-screened logo and a cast metal Blackstar logo. Also available are two cosmetically matched 4x12 cabinets: the S1-412BlackfireA (angled) and S1-412BlackfireB (straight).

Additional product features include:

* Built-in DPR power reduction using 4 x ECC83, 1 x ECC82, 4 x KT88 valves
* Master Volume, two ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) equipped tone control sections, Presence and Resonance controls
* Series effects loop & speaker emulated output
* MIDI switching

Each model comes with exclusive Gus G. accessories, including a signed certificate, an "Evil G" key ring, picks and a FIREWIND EP.
