Wrote the following about Blackstar HT-5RH MKIII 5W Guitar Amplifier Head

Op zoek naar een backup voor de Kemper liep ik tegen deze versterkertop aan. Met de emulated output en bijbehorende software direct de mengtafel in . Werkt top! Nu nog bezig met samenstellen van een pedalboard 😁. De toonregelregeling van het cleane kanaal is heel erg sumier, alleen tone, dit had ik graag anders gezien, overdrive kanaal is wel voorzien van toonregeling, die is dan ook super naar smaak in te regelen. Een boss ge7 eq moet dat nu doen voor t cleane kanaal. Daarom 4 en geen 5 sterren.
