Your Tube-fired Studio Amp Solution!

Blackstar's all-tube HT-5H is the amp you need when you want to get killer guitar tones in the studio. This amazing little 5-watt amp head lets you dial in that magical "cooking power section" sound, without frying your eardrums. The HT-5H gives you the ability to dial in a range of great tones, thanks to Blackstar's stellar ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) tone-shaping control. Plus, this great-sounding amp's 2-channel design takes you from glassy cleans to down-and-dirty crunch - in no time. A handy onboard effects loop (complete with an effects level switch) lets you add your own effects into the signal path. Plus, an onboard speaker-emulated output makes it easy to record killer amp tones straight from the HT-5H.

  • 5-watt tube head
  • 1 x ECC83 and 1 x 12BH7 tubes

Not Bad....

For a Studio Amp, pair this lil guy with a 2X12 cab and a sm57 and you are ready to go. However, if your hopes are to achieve a crushing metal tone...you might want to reconsider. Most of this amp's p... read more [+]reamp distortion is generated by transistors that then go into the preamp tube and then the power amp tube, which isn't bad, but produces a unique tone.
True you could boost it with a Tubescreamer and you might get a more brutal tone, but by itself the amp doesn't quite reach 11. close [-]
