The amp comes complete with the certificate of authenticity, footswitch, power cable and manual.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in close collaboration with legendary guitarist Doug Aldrich, the DA5 Ruby captures the feel, response, and unmistakable character of Doug’s acclaimed stage rig in a compact 5 Watt valve combo designed for home, studio, and recording use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around a genuine push-pull valve power stage featuring an ECC83 preamp valve and 12BH7 power valve, DA5 Ruby delivers the dynamics, compression, and touch sensitivity of a driven valve amplifier at practical volumes. Blackstar’s advanced power reduction system lowers output to 0.5W (10% of the rated power) while preserving the character and response of the amp, making it ideal for everything from late-night practice to studio recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the DA5 Ruby is the custom-designed 12” Aldrich 50 loudspeaker. Developed specifically with Doug Aldrich for this amplifier, the 50 Watt speaker delivers the authority, punch and room-filling response of a much larger rig, giving the DA5 Ruby a uniquely big, expressive feel that stands apart from traditional low-powered combos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo footswitchable channels and four distinct voices provide a wide tonal range, from articulate American-style cleans to rich British overdrive and high-gain lead tones inspired by Doug’s world-renowned live sound. A choice of dark or light reverb voicings allows players to further shape the amp’s ambience and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDA5 Ruby also features Blackstar’s advanced CabRig™ IR-based DSP speaker simulation technology, delivering professional direct tones for recording, monitoring, headphones, and live applications. Three user-configurable CabRig presets can be accessed directly from the amplifier, with hundreds of cabinet, microphone and room combinations available via Blackstar Architect software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComprehensive connectivity includes XLR CabRig output, USB-C audio output, stereo headphone output and included FS-16 2-way footswitch. Integrated load protection enables silent operation without a speaker connected, making DA5 Ruby equally at home in recording environments as it is for home practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished in Doug Aldrich’s signature Ruby aesthetic with premium covering, high-quality toggle switches, and a cast alloy metal plate logo, DA5 Ruby combines boutique-inspired styling with professional performance and authentic valve tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 Watts \/ 0.5 Watts (Power Reduction)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Valve Push-Pull\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreamp Valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × ECC83\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 12BH7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 – Clean \u0026amp; Overdrive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoices:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 – 2 per Channel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISF:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patented ISF Control\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReverb:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark \/ Light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 12\" Custom Aldrich 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker Power Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 Watts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Co-Developed with Doug Aldrich\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCabRig:\u003c\/strong\u003e IR-Based Speaker Simulator with Cabinet, Microphone \u0026amp; Room Selection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCabRig Presets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 User Slots Onboard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSB:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB-C Stereo Audio Output Direct to DAW\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXLR Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e CabRig DI Output\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\" TRS Stereo CabRig Output\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 2px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFootswitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e FS-16 2-Way Footswitch Included\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51219615088676,"sku":"21 ADA260411005","price":899.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9291\/6772\/files\/21ADA260411005-2.jpg?v=1788150799","url":"https:\/\/dwmusic.com.au\/products\/blackstar-da-5-ruby-doug-aldrich-valve-combo-amp-w-footswitch-preowned","provider":"DWmusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
