Blackstar HT 1R 1x 8-inch 1W valve guitar amplifier combo

General

To an electric guitarist, few things sound prettier than a 100-watt tube amplifier at full force. Do not try it at home though, at least not if you value your windows or the relation with your neighbours (even those five streets away). This is where the Blackstar HT-1 series comes in - full-valve guitar amplifiers with a power of only 1 watt. They produce the same warm sound, dynamic distortion and tube compression at volumes that are much more suitable for human ears. The HT-1R has the exact same specifications as the HT-1, plus a built-in digital reverb. All you need for rehearsals and recording, both at home or in the studio, at a very friendly price!

HT-1R: very user-friendly two-channel amplifier with reverb

The Blackstar HT-1R combo is a two channel amplifier with straightforward controls. No fringes, just volume, gain, the unique ISF equalizer function and a top-grade digital reverb effect. The gain knob lets you set the tone from sparkling cleans to a ragged compressed edge. Press the overdrive button and you can have even more distortion for the rough stuff. Additionally, the ISF button allows you to change the character of the HT-1R from American to British - from tight bass with scooped mids to an open sound with rich mids and everything in between. From Fenders and Mesas to Vox and Marshall, the Blackstar HT-1R can handle it all!

Practical connections of the HT-1R

Want to play along with your favourite music or backing tracks? Then connect your MP3 player, iPod, drum machine or laptop to the HT-1R's MP3/line input. It also has a special headphone/line output with speaker emulation, which simulates the tonal characteristics of a speaker cabinet to give you a natural-sounding distortion. It's perfect for directly connecting it to a recording device or mixer. Lastly, there's a connection on the back for an optional 8-ohm speaker cabinet, which switches the internal speaker off when you use it.
