Description
The HT-5R MK III takes the revered design from the award-winning MK II series to new heights with incredible performance, gorgeous looks and game-changing new features from improved voicings to the addition of Blackstar's IR-based CabRig speaker simulator software.
Valve amps sound best when cranked; the unique feel, dynamics and natural compression of a valve power stage running hot is widely considered the holy grail of guitar tone. The problem is turning your 100W valve amp up to these volumes is not practical. Blackstar's HT-5R MK III, with its unique push-pull power amp, gives you this coveted valve performance at volumes suitable for home practice and recording.
Alongside providing capture-ready valve tones at any volume, the HT-5R MK III comes equipped with a direct USB-C output which can send 2 channels (left and right) to your DAW, capturing authentic tube tones without the need for an interface. With built-in load protection, can use the amp without a speaker connected for silent practice and recording.
The HT-5R MK III has 2 channels, clean and overdrive, each with 2 voicing options. Each voice switch introduces comprehensive circuit alterations in both the preamp and power amp to recreate authentic tones without compromise. This includes EQ voicing, tone stack position in the circuit, gain structure, and negative feedback. Achieve diverse tonal options with the flick of a single switch!
CabRig, Blackstar's class-leading IR-based speaker simulator comes as standard in the HT-5R MK III, offering hundreds of different cabinet, mic, and room combinations. Save your favourites to three presets for easy access directly from the amplifier. Get premium valve tones into your headphones, monitors and mixes.
