Blackstar HT-5R-MKIII – 5W 1 x 12″ Valve Guitar Combo Amplifier Reverb / USB / CabRig

The HT line is renowned for combining world-class boutique cleans with contemporary high-gain overdrives, all in a single, studio-friendly unit, without compromise. Drawing upon the knowledge gained from the HT Venue MK III, the HT MK III are simple to use, but highly versatile. Upgraded components and an all-new customisable reverb make these the best HT models ever. CabRig™, our world-class IR-based, DSP speaker simulator comes as standard, which allows you to choose between hundreds of different cabinet, mic, mic placement and room settings. These settings can be saved and stored into three presets which can be recalled directly from the amplifier. Get premium valve tones into headphones, monitors and mixes without the need for a connected cab or for the internal speaker to be on. Two footswitchable channels, 4 voices and modern USB-C connectivity make these the perfect home or studio, small format valve amps. What does HT mean? ‘HT’ stands for ‘High Tension’ and refers to the high voltages used in valve circuits like HT MK III. The HT name goes back to the very beginning of Blackstar and our first products: the HT valve pedals.
