The DA5 Ruby changed everything for me — all the character, all the punch, all the attitude of my live rig, but something I can plug in at home and just play.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Doug Aldrich\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBig Rig Energy. Five Watts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DA100 Ruby turned heads across the world. Developed over months of close collaboration with Doug Aldrich (The Dead Daisies, Whitesnake, Dio), it delivered a stage-ready tone that players everywhere wanted to get their hands on. The DA5 Ruby gives you exactly that. Same DNA. Same Ruby finish. Same legendary Aldrich character. All in a compact valve amp that fits your home, your studio and your life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Speaker Changes Everything\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe custom Aldrich 50 loudspeaker was built with Doug, voiced by Doug, and it’s the reason this amp sounds like nothing else in its class. A 50 Watt speaker in a 5W combo has more headroom, responds with more authority and fills the room in a way that hits you on the first note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The speaker is the secret weapon. It just has this size and weight to the sound that you don’t expect. That’s the magic.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Doug Aldrich\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll the Tones from the DA100 Ruby\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“It’s killer. It’s got the tones from the original DA100 Ruby but in a 5 Watt combo and I love it so much.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Doug Aldrich\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo channels. Four voices. Clean or driven, American or British, vast tonal range is there. Set it up your way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBig Valve Tone at Any Volume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eValve amps sound best when they’re working hard. The problem is that cranking a 100W head isn’t always an option. The DA5 Ruby solves this the Blackstar way: a unique push-pull valve power stage that delivers the feel, dynamics and natural compression of a hot valve amp at volumes your neighbours can live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower reduction takes it down to 10% of the rated output without touching your tone. The working voltages of the power stage are controlled directly, so the tonal character stays intact at every level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCabRig™ Speaker Simulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCabRig™ is our most advanced IR-based speaker simulation technology. Hundreds of cabinet, mic and room combinations. Three user presets accessible directly from the amp. Zero latency. Premium valve tone into headphones, monitors and your mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReady to Record\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlug DA5 straight into your DAW via USB-C and capture authentic valve tone without a microphone or interface. The DA5 Ruby comes equipped with CabRig™ so the tone that goes to your recording is exactly the sound in your head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoad protection means you can run it without a cabinet connected. Silent practice, late-night recording, silent stage — the DA5 Ruby handles it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Ruby Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DA5 Ruby wears the same iconic Ruby finish as Doug’s stage rig. Premium tolex. Cast alloy metal plate logo. High-quality toggle switches.
