NEW BLACKSTAR HT 20 R MK III GUITAR AMPS & CABS
Blackstar is proud to have some of the most experienced valve amp designers in the world. They have brought those decades of knowledge and learning to create the latest incarnation of their award-winning HT valve amps – the MK III Series.
The HT line quickly became established as the best-in-class for compact valve amplifiers and for over a decade has given guitarists the best solution for getting big valve amp tones onto recordings and for home
practice in a small, portable format.
The MK III builds on the revered history and success of the prior HT iterations, elevating them to a new level of sound quality, features, and performance. Four incredible voices from chiming cleans to soaring high gains and Blackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature. Power Reduction down to 10% of the amps rated power features on the HT-5R MK III and the HT-20R MK III models.
A game-changing addition is the advanced IR-based CabRig™ DSP technology, an embodiment of the latest innovations in speaker,cab,mic,and room emulation. This technology, originally featured in Blackstar's St.James and AMPED products, represents their commitment to making Blackstar the ultimate tools for selfexpression.
Coupled with 4-channel audio via the USB-C, capturing professional quality valve tone in your DAW is simple.
The CabRig outs (XLR, Stereo Line Out and USB) can also be used in Standby Mode making it ideal for both recording and silent stages too.
Upgraded circuit board components and an all-new digital reverb with adjustable parameters further enhance the tone and performance.
All this comes in a stunning new livery using materials normally found on boutique amps; premium tolex and fret, mini-toggle switches and a metal plate logo.
The new HT MK III Series of guitar heads, combos and cabinets are the culmination of decades of design experience and innovation; delivering “the sound in your head” with absolutely no compromises in tone, feel
or performance.
Models in the range: HT-1R MK III combo, HT-1RH MK III head, HT-5R MK III combo, HT-5RH MK III head, HT-20R MK III combo, HT-20RH MK III head, HT-212VOC MK III cabinet, HT-112OC MK III cabinet.
