NEW BLACKSTAR HT 1R & 5R MK III GUITAR AMPS & CABS

Little Amps, Big Sound!

Since it was first introduced, the award-winning HT  range has been one of Blackstar’s cornerstone valve amp series. It focuses on a pristine tone in a compact package making it a mainstay in the homes and studios of many professional and budding musicians. After  tireless refinement, research and design Blackstar is  proud to introduce the brand-new HT MK III range of 
valve amplifiers

The HT 1R & 5R MK III amplifiers retain all of the renowned features of the previous series along with the introduction of Blackstar's world-class DSP speaker simulator CabRig, which allows guitarists to choose between 100s of different cabinets, mic, mic placement and room settings. These settings can be saved and stored into 3 presets which can be recalled directly from the amplifier.

Along with these new cutting edge features, the new HT 1R & 5R MK III amplifiers bring a strikingly more modern aesthetic design to the table that looks as good as any premium boutique amplifier. The new panel has a clean, crisp look and cornerless covering, which combined with classic chickenhead knobs and  a new paper fret will make these amplifiers stand out.  On top of these new boutique aesthetic upgrades,Blackstar have introduced high quality mini toggle switches,  updated the LED colours and swapped out the plastic 
logo for a new metal plate version.
