A 1x12 FRFR speaker cab for clear, amp-like feel.
Built to move air and command space, the Blackstar Artist FR Special 1×12" 100W FRFR guitar speaker cabinet delivers the feel of a real guitar amp with the accuracy modern modelers demand. Designed for rehearsals, stage monitoring and live performance, this powered FRFR cabinet combines high headroom with a guitar-focused response that stays punchy and articulate at volume. With 100W of onboard power, intuitive tone controls and a compact, gig-ready design, the Artist FR Special is a confident solution for players who need their modeled tones to translate clearly and convincingly on stage.
Custom FRFR Speaker With Guitar-Focused Response
At the heart of the Artist FR Special is a custom-designed 1×12" flat-response speaker voiced specifically for guitar frequencies and enhanced with a whizzer cone for added high-frequency detail. This design ensures complex amp models, gain structures and effects translate clearly at higher volumes while maintaining the feel and response of a traditional guitar cabinet rather than a PA monitor.
100W of Headroom for Rehearsals and Live Performance
With 100W of onboard power, the Artist FR Special offers substantially more headroom than the Standard model, making it well suited for full-band rehearsals, stage monitoring and small to medium live performances. The added output allows the cabinet to remain controlled and articulate as volume increases, helping preserve tone consistency in louder environments.
Portable Power Built for Real-World Gigs
Despite its increased output, the Artist FR Special remains compact and manageable thanks to Blackstar’s efficient cabinet design. An integrated kickstand enables tilt-back monitoring for improved on-stage clarity, while a weight of approximately 30 lb. keeps transport practical. For players seeking a single FRFR cabinet that can handle live performance without stepping into oversized systems, the Artist FR Special strikes a confident balance of power, portability and feel.
