With the release of his limited-edition Jared James Nichols JJN-20RH MkII signature valve amplifier with matching JJN-212VOC MkII cabinet, the guitarist has taken his new customized HT20R MkII out on the road, visiting a variety of local retailers to promote his new branded Blackstar amp.
During each of his stops, he performed an intimate set for consumers, answered questions about his pick-less playing method, and demonstrated the basics of his Blackstar signature amp, identifying its key features and why he chose it to head his main rig while on tour and in the studio.
“I can’t begin to express how cool our Jared James Nichols clinic was. Not only is he a natural performer, both on the guitar and on the mic, but Jared is also a natural clinician. He was weaving in and out of performing, talking technique, and spreading gear love with ease and everyone was into it. Up to 70 guests attended, making it our best clinic yet,” said Brett Manjarrez, general manager at Sam Ash Music in San Diego.
“Blackstar amps define my tone. It really is the sound in my head. It’s simple; Blackstar inspires me to play at my best. I’m absolutely honored to now be a signature artist. I have toured around the world, always with a Blackstar amp behind me. I am so thrilled to be able to share my BLUESPOWER tones with the world though my own Signature Amp,” states Nichols.
