General
Tube amplifiers are known for their delightfully warm tone and dynamic distortion, the more volume, the better they sound. However, they can easily become too loud for home use, which is why Blackstar developed the HT-5R, a very complete full-tube guitar amplifier combo with a power of only 5 watts. Now you are free to open up the volume on your amplifier without worrying about the neighbours or ending up with a permanent hearing impairment. This small Blackstar HT-5R delivers a grand performance!
HT-5R: two-channel tube amplifier with ISF and reverb
The HT-5R is driven by an ECC83 and a 12BH7 valve, and is equipped with a specially designed 12-inch Blackbird 50 speaker. This guitar amplifier has two switchable channels that allow you to go from crystal-clear cleans to high-gain overdrive. The HT-5R features an expansive tone-control section that comprises a 3-band EQ and a special ISF knob. This patented Infinite Shape Feature allows you to adjust the timbre of the amp from a distinctively American tube sound (6L6) to a quintessentially British one (EL34) - from tight bass and scooped mids to a looser bass and rich mids. Moreover, the HT-5R features a built-in digital stereo reverb effect, which is great for a subtle reverb to spacious surf sounds!
The HT-5R's ins and outs
On the back of the HT-5R are several inputs and outputs. There's an MP3/line input to connect a CD player or iPod for instance, to jam along to your favourite music. Would you like to practise late at night? Then connect your headphones to the headphone/line output. You can also use this output to connect the amplifier to a mixer or recording device. It also features speaker emulation, which is switchable from a tight 1x12 to a fat 4x12. Moreover, the HT-5R features an effects loop for your effect pedals or processors and several speaker outputs that allow you to connect an optional speaker cabinet. Last but not least there's an input for the included FS-4 foot switch, to remotely change between the clean and the overdrive channel.

Enige minpunt (en) de speaker is crap en daardoor is de response van de potentiometers minder hoog als gewild.maar verder klinkt hij prima

Het enige minpuntje is het clean-kanaal. Werkt opzich prima, maar klinkt wat droog en flat. Een Equalizer-pedal is echt een aanrader als je deze versterker koopt. Hiermee maak je het clean-kanaal meer bruikbaar.
