| | Description | The Blackstar HT-5H tube guitar amp is ideal for studio work or practice, packing all the great tone and innovative features of the award-winning HT tube pedals into a 2-channel, footswitchable tube amp format. The Blackstar amp head's patent-applied-for ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) circuit gives you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control network and takes your tone from the USA to the UK and anywhere in-between. So now you can effectively design your own tone and finally find "that sound in your head."Ideal for home and studio use, the Blackstar HT-5H tube amplifier head sounds full and toneful even at the lowest volume level thanks to a brand-new tube power amplifier topology designed by Blackstar engineers. The power amp is a low-powered, push-pull design which produces the crunch and breakup characteristics of a traditional 100W output stage but at a much lower volume.The Blackstar HT-5H also has a speaker-emulated output, further enhancing its studio credentials and allowing any guitarist to get amazing tube tone straight to tape or disk, or through headphones. It also features the unique 4x12/1x12 voicing switch, allowing you to change the tonal characteristics of the emulated signal between 2 emulated cabinet types.Add to this an effects loop with switchable level along with 16-ohm and 8-ohm speaker outputs allowing you to run the amp into an external speaker cabinet of your choice, and you have everything you need for recording or practicing. | |

 Excellent Tone at this Price Sep 26, 2009
By J. Fletcher
"Fletch"
Played one of these at Guitar Center. It was the Blackstar HT-5 Head hooked up to 2 10" Blackstar cabs. Used a PRS Singlecut SE with it. They also had an Egnater Rebel Head. The Blackstar HT-5 sounded way better than the Egnater IMO and was able to get decent high gain tones at lower volume. The ISF knob makes a big difference in the voicing of the mids of the amp and really changes its character. I also tried to max the gain, Bass @ 10, Mids @ 0, Treble @ 10 and it sounded like mud however that is an extreme metal setting. Cleans are good but not outstanding. Overall this amp has its own sound to it but I would say its closer to a high gain Marshall than it is to a Mesa Rectifier. I believe the power tube it uses isn't a common size but you can find replacements which is something to consider as well. There are also a lot of youtube videos of this amp and I can say it sounds better and more full in person as youtube tends to add a lot of compression.

 Cheap Quality. Arrived Falling apart. Flakeboard! Aug 24, 2011
By B. Steindel

First let me say that I received this from Austin Bazaar through Amazon.
From the good reviews I thought it would be worth the money! Be prepared you get what you pay for.
Good thing I own GuitarPCB website and I am very handy with my hands. I had to get the C Clamps and re-glue both braces.
The Amp cover also was distorted and bent.(Not Fixable short of making a new one!). This I blame on Blackstar for Super Cheap Flake-board all around.
The item was shipped in it's own packaging and not Double Boxed and looked like it was thrown off the truck.
I of course blame that on Austin Bazaar for not Double Boxing and Fedex for the poor handling during shipping!
The Good News. Despite all of this I got the amp back together reasonable enough to satisfy me. (Most people would be asking for a Refund immediately!)
I plugged it in and it all works. The tone is truly as good as I expected. I hooked it up to a nice 1x12 Celestion Loaded Avatar Cab and it rocked good for the money.
Once again though let me stress that if I were not an experienced builder of pedals and amps this deal would have been folly!
Major repairs before I could even think of plugging it in. Cheap Quality Flake-board.
Next time I am going to be more choosy as to where I order from as well as the means of shipping. Cheap built amps should be Double Boxed! It was not.
So if you are like me and do not live anywhere near a Music Store then be warned.
