The Blackstar HT-5R MkII tube combination offers a genuine tube sound in a very compact size! The ECC83 preamplifier tube and the 12BH7 power amplifier tube ensure warm, dynamic sound, and if the five-watt power causes too much volume, the amplifier has an artificial load that limits the power to 0.5 watts. Blackstar's patented ISF feature allows you to adjust the tone between two different types of sounds. The 8 "speaker provides discriminating reproduction, and the amplifier also has a connection for a separate 4-16 Ohm speaker cabinet.
Features:
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 emulated signals to be connected to external devices for practicing, recording or live use.
Inspired by our patented Dynamic Power Reduction circuit, simply switch down to 0.5 Watts at the push of a button without any loss of tone. Perfect for driving the 12BH7 power stage hard at lower volumes.
Our new studio quality reverb has been designed to perfectly complement guitar tones.
The compact cabinet has a 3 degree angle on the front face, top-loader panel and stage-friendly chickenhead knobs giving the HT-5R MkII a stunning boutique style.
