Blackstar | Polar Go | FET 2-Channel Mixer Mobile Audio Interface

The Blackstar POLAR is a USB audio interface designed specifically for guitarists, combining innovative technology with practical features to deliver exceptional tone and feel. It enhances your direct guitar input signal, recreating the touch and response of a real valve amplifier, while providing a professional-quality microphone preamp for recording vocals and acoustic instruments.

Featuring unique "Enhance" circuitry, POLAR mimics the input stage of classic valve amps, offering non-linear response and the ability to push preamps naturally without digital clipping. This design ensures smooth, dynamic recordings and an authentic playing experience. The ultra-low-noise FET instrument inputs and vintage-inspired microphone preamps provide clarity, warmth, and headroom for professional recording sessions.

POLAR comes bundled with a comprehensive software package including the St. James Plugin Suite (worth $129/£129/€129), Ableton Live Lite, ReLab LX480 Essentials Reverb, Melodyne Essential, and more, giving you everything you need to start recording guitars, vocals, and full productions right away.
