Blackstar HT-1R MkII tube guitar amplifier combo, 1x8

General

Blackstar's HT-1R MK II is a 1x 8-inch tube guitar amplifier combo which offers a remarkable amount of functionality and range of sounds considering its size. Due to the manageable power at even 1 watt, you can maintain that tube-amp sound at lower levels and avoid those angry looks from the rest of the band. Its convenient size means it already takes up less space than the drummer, bassist or keyboard player. Also, if you’re looking for more power, there is always the option of connecting a 4, 8 or 16-ohm speaker cab.

HT-1R MkII: equal to the challenge of the American and British sound

As soon as you flip the power switch, the tone of this amp is such that you can pretty much start playing. With the 2 channels offered, any guitarist would probably be happy, but each channel also has 2 different voicings, offering double the number of guitar sounds. On both channels, you won’t only get that punchier, American sound, but also that well-known British sparkle. With the ISF-knob you can sculpt the sound to taste and then add a pinch (or handful) of reverb at your own discretion. There is a USB connector for recording, an aux in for external devices and a headphone output making the HT-1R Mk II suitable for all tastes, moods and uses.
