Blackjack 21™ 21 Watt

The Blackjack 21™ brings the high build quality and awesome tones people expect from Fuchs products to a new more affordable price range. The Blackjack 21™ has a classic rock voice similar to a vintage Marshall® or Trainwreck® style amp, but with a more manageable power level. Its tone provides a cutting rock edge, filled with harmonic richness and chime.

Blackjack-21 Features

The Train-45, BlackJack-21 and Lucky-7 series are single channel non master style amps with a more rock and roll attitude than the Fuchs ODS and TDS amps. This new series of amps offers that rock and roll tone and attitude in varying power levels. All models share a similar "in your face" attitude, at different power levels.

The Blackjack 21 is based on a dual 12AX7 preamp stage and a push-pull dual 6V6 fixed bias output stage. Unlike other amps in this price range, the Blackjack 21 has a full complement of extremely flexible tone controls. A liberal amount of clean headroom is available before the output stage begins distorting with a sweet yet cutting rock edge. Voiced like its siblings the Train 45 and Lucky 7, the Blackjack 21 has a classic rock voice similar to a vintage Marshall™ or Trainwreck™; style amp, but with a more manageable power level. Its tone provides a cutting rock edge, filled with harmonic richness and chime. The circuit design also is "attenuator friendly". The Lucky 7 and its higher powered sibling the Blackjack 21 have a preamp stage designed to allow clean-to-mean from the guitar volume control.

The chassis (like all Fuchs products) is aircraft grade aluminum; our internal construction is mixed PC board and hard wired. On the Lucky 7 and Blackjack 21, the preamp tubes and power supply circuitry are on the circuit card, while the power tubes and transformers are mounted directly on the chassis. A detachable power cord is standard. By using single point grounding, the amp is quiet and free of hum at all operating levels. A single input and single ¼” output jack are provided.
