Product Description
The Blackstar HT-5R MKII Tube Combo Amp takes this revered design a step further with incredible performance and game-changing new features from dynamic power reduction to 0.5W and footswitchable voices, to XLR DI out and direct USB recording.
Low Wattage Valve Goodness
The valve amps sound best when cranked. The unique feel, dynamics and natural compression of a valve power stage running hot are widely considered the holy grail of guitar tone. The HT-5R MKII with its low-powered push-pull 12BH7 power amp produces the crunch and break-up characteristics of a traditional 100W output stage, at volumes suitable for home practice and recording.
Professional Recording Connectivity
The USB output has been added for the simplest way to get valve tone into your recordings. Also added is a pro balanced XLR D.I. output, which allows the speaker simulated signal (selectable choice of 4 x 12 or 1 x 12) to be connected to external devices for practicing, recording or live use.
Power Reduction
Inspired by the patented Dynamic Power Reduction circuit, simply switch down to 0.5 Watts at the push of a button without any loss of tone. It is perfect for driving the 12BH7 power stage hard at lower volumes.
Patented ISF
The patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control is unique to Blackstar Amplification and represents a major step forward in tone shaping flexibility. The ISF control shifts the response of the three control tone stack between, a US type response at one end, and at the other, a UK type response. Importantly, in between the two extremes lie an infinite number of alternative tone choices that would be otherwise unavailable.

This is the amp I grab 90% of the time. The Marshall I grab the other 10%. The fender has become a spare/loaner. Don’t get me wrong , if I had a very large practice space the Marshall/orange combo would get more use. However , I share a 1000sqft space with other people. The Marshall has a 10 watt setting , but even at 10 watts it’s just way to loud for my space most of the time. This blackstar set on the .5 watt setting is amazing for me. The tone is cranking rock tone , but the volume is very tolerable for everyone in the house. Speaking of the tone , it’s terrific. Bear in mind that I am not an audiophile. Just a regular guy that loves rock and dirty blues music. For those 2 sounds this thing totally rips. If you’re looking for a low wattage practice amp or something for a smaller playing space this could be just the ticket. I know it meets all my needs. I’d like to add that even though rock and blues are my primary genres , I love playing acoustic and own a Taylor that sounds terrific through this amp.

Why two stars? Buying a Blackstar amp is playing a game of chance with your paycheck. Some folks get them and never have an issue, the rest of us, not so lucky. I'm getting the same 'crackling' sound I got out of the older HT-5, and the HT-20. Do a quick Google search on "Blackstar amp crackling sound" and you'll find tons of people that are absolutely sick of these things.
Also, just like the old HT-5, when you use the footswitch to change channels, you better not have any sound coming out of it. Otherwise you'll get a nice loud POP like you just blew a fuse.
Why do all this redesigning and "upgrading", but continue to use the same $#%@ electronics on the inside? It's a shame. The fact that it's the same exact issues they've had going on for years, tells me they're not even pretending to listen to customer feedback. They've lost a ridiculous amount of customers because of this.

Consiglio a tutti, suona bene anche a basso volume ma se occorre... ha potenza a sufficienza per far tremare le pareti di casa... Non ho ancora capito come fanno 5w a suonare così... ma va bene
