Representing a new direction for Fuchs Audio Technology, 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™
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 compliment 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.

¾” solid wood cabinet with durable tolex covering.
Anodized aluminum chassis with long-lasting silk screened labeling.
