The HT-5R has always been a top seller for Blackstar. At five watts, it’s the quintessential low-watt practice amp. And the MkII version ups the ante with revoiced channels and a plethora of player-friendly features borrowed from its higher-watt brethren. The HT-5R MkII’s upgraded clean channel epitomizes the modern boutique tone, while its drive channel serves up a muscular array of distorted textures. And thanks to Blackstar’s patented Infinite Shape Feature, you can dial in everything from inspiring British edge-of-breakup grit to tight and punchy American high gain.
Features:
5-watt all-tube 1 x 12" guitar combo amplifier
2 footswitchable channels with voicing switches deliver tonal flexibility
Coax sparkling highs and lucid lows from the boutique-style clean channel
Overdrive channel supplies enough gain for blues, classic rock, hard rock, and metal
