All user reviews for the Blackstar Amplification HT-Dual

Everything has been said in the description, I spend ...
Heavy housing and quality. contrary to what I read sometimes double potentiometers are not bad, it's just the design that lets too much dust. A helping cleaner contact and hop it goes again.
So 8 out of 10 because of this problem of dust a little annoying at times. Otherwise it's tough.

USE

Simple Config and the possibilities are quite large with the ISF. It has everything from crunch to overdrive until the HiGain distortion. American or British colors to choose from.

SOUND QUALITY

Basically it sounds good, but changing lamp (DD about me), we gain in definition and bass. The sound is very warm. I use it in overdrive channel 1 (switch crunch on it) and the gain at two thirds. It depends on the channel2, 50% to 70% gain generally. The TFR is instead turned the British side (13 / 14h approximately) because I play a Fender lamp, so I already have a good basic clean.
In any case it quite dépote live.
On the recordings, it takes very good things with the release emulated 4x12.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 2 years and I do not regret, especially since the changing lamp!
I played on dozens of overdrive and distortion but it crushes not bad. In any case it suits me perfectly. It's not cut out for the big metal (there are others for that) but for the large energetic rock, it sticks!
Although a bit expensive but it makes good.

This pedal with two channels available:

- Clean 1 which acts as crunch with a small switch, you will have with this channel sounds typed Blues / Rock, Rock and Hard Rock and also a good clean by turning off the switch clean / crunch

- 1 channel High Gain, perfect for Heavy Metal and Metal Max Metallica / Iron Maiden etc ... no more to have a good big sound metal should he stick a clean boost input and is ultra top!!

It is 100% analog with a 12AX7 tube, the distortion is really good and does not sound at all like the synthetic metal muff EHX I had before, for example.

It also has an output "Emulated HP" Perfect to register! I have an excellent sound using this output on a mac in Logic Pro, a real massacre, this pedal is in itself a small tube amp, perfect for playing in a hotel, at home in the evening or even at night, if you do not need small parties amp you wire a sound system and you'll YOUR sound.

A huge plus!

UTILIZATION

It is on this pedal, 1 double gain knob to adjust the gain of each channel, 1 double volume knob for each channel, a 3-band EQ (very efficient) and a knob ISF to choose a typed his U.S. or UK (also very effective).

It really is a shame but it is not being double knobs everywhere to have the EQ and ISF adjustable for each channel, she would have them, this pedal would have been perfect!!

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is really TOP! One of the best I've heard! Setting this done quickly and quickly finds the desired sound, the most impressive is the HP output is really excellent!

OVERALL OPINION

In short this pedal is THE pedal to have on his pedalboard! The quality is TOP! Smells quality, it is a true tank over the switches do not "Click", based on the switches are very flexible and turns very easily!

Used in the value for money is just awesome!

I give it 9/10 because it would have been perfect if the EQ and the ISF was adjusted for the 2 channels.

pedal lamp
Clean / Overdrive / Lead
went emulated super awesome
adjustment: a two-stage gain 3 band eq and a two-stage level without forgetting the isf!
true bypass
adapter provides (what and very pleasant)

UTILIZATION

one branch we play I just watch the instructions for isf

SOUND QUALITY

of pure bomb on the warm sound of lamps
The clean is very cruch a little when you push the gain
the cruch his ac / dc, nirvana end is great
and then channel the big sound that tears his grandmother very sharp distortion for solo there's nothing better!
has noted the clean also serves clean boost that is useless ps
the isf is great you can have all the sound couleuron spends his Rican mesa boogie when we all left has his british Marshallian everything right and in the middle was the sound blackstar FYI I stay 3/4 time just right

OVERALL OPINION

I've had Christmas and I feel rediscover every day
more grace versatility has isf and 3 band eq
the less it is not true-bypass and that's a shame
I remake that choice without hesitation!

Overdrive & Distortion
technology lamps
adapter supplied (here it's cool)

UTILIZATION

it is very simple, quick understandable

SOUND QUALITY

very realistic effects. Used with a Fender Telecaster and an Ibanez AS93 very recently on a VOX AC15 amp

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2/3 years. She is great! what I like least is snoring but I love the heat. Just chopper noise gate and everything is perfect
I remake that choice without hesitation, this is one of the best products in my opinion. It brings warmth to the distortion, you get either a sound or a sound British English with ISF

Can we still talk about pedal before this behemoth?
Combined with an amp with a clean channel is obtained crunch and saturated sought is more than just a real preamp pedal.

UTILIZATION

Simple and clear without unnecessary settings.
One negative point though:
It is not true-bypass in the sense that if it is plugged into your chaining pedals and effects, it must be plugged in even if you do not activate it.
But as soon as one branch in the sector is heating lamp (lit).
In fact you must either disconnect your loop, or have fed and disconnect from mains especially when you have finished playing.

SOUND QUALITY

Nothing to add from other reviews read here, I would that the repetition is good, good and good again!

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent pedal, ideal accompaniment to an amp options a little weak or lacking personality.
Bad point though on the management of on / off non-existent, can be painful force.
Go Mr Blackstar, a true-bypass or an on / off button, please?

I will not go over the details and be brief. overdrive / distortion lamp (12 AX7) equalize with 3-band gain volume.

UTILIZATION

the general configuration is simple enough, the sound is always good, never read the manual. the knobs are really very effective and correct sound.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is really good. I play Gibson Les paul standard and the pedal is plugged into a marshall 2466 on how low setting with retail 15-16 H 12 H body and therefore a sound that comes already in the crunch, it is the sound a plexi already pushed (master 12 H) to summarize. This is the base that I use, and I add different overdrive pedals (one at a time!) According to the desired grain ... (Xotic AC Booster, wampler plexdrive and dual Ht). Regarding the HT Dual I use to get the "big" sound, because the grain is thick enough. Channel 1 I use in "crunch" with the gain to 13 H. It really is THE sound of guns n'roses, gary moore et cie, the rhythms are splendid with its very hot and gorgeous lead, you really feel like a tube amp overdrive and despite what some may say, the light plays its part! I also changed the original, a Sovtek if I remember correctly, and I put one groovetube Chinese, on the advice of VHM, the sound is truly transformed at this time, it is become much more warm and organic with very dense harmonics ... this is the second channel, I can not really speak because I do not use it ... It's just a tone at the top in terms of saturation and there or we have an overdrive on channel 1, we go into the real Disto ... why I do not use it???? well simply because I plug the pedal into an amp with its already at the limit of good crunch (Plexi sound) ... and the big devastating distortion channel 2, a volume pushed to follow a drummer "tape" I go very quickly in feedback .... and then the sound is too compressed for my taste on channel 2. This is in my opinion the difference between overdrive (its little or no distortion and compressed (compressed sound and therefore more modern.)

OVERALL OPINION

I play on the pedal for a year .. I love the sound it produces including n'roses play guns and all the rock 80's 90's for vintage sounds I use pedals with a gain level and especially a smaller thinner grain. I tried another pedal in the same vein, none gave me the impression of having much more real channel on my amp (monocanal. .. which is good!) I really like this thickness in the sound and the heat generated by the lamp (especially groovetube) ... the only downside is its specific power, but it is also because of this that the lamp receives enough energy to be heated. With the experience I remake this choice ... although last pedals output Bogner esctasy blue and red, tempting me ... well they need to be tested .... but from what I saw on youtube the grain seems more exclusive than the HT Dual, which ultimately sounds like a good old Marshall stack.

Disto lamp, and blah blah blah ... see other opinions or data sheet.

UTILIZATION

For what is the use, it's pretty simple. Turning knobs and is guided. You still need a little time to master the beast, but it is not insurmountable. It takes a few hours of practice to find the right formula.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is definitely there. We immediately feel the presence of the lamp. effects on channel 1 and 2 are quite complementary, and congratulations to true bypass which gives comfort essential game on stage. The sound is richer and more distinct than some other distos who tend to drown in the flood of other instruments.
Special mention for the ISF is in my opinion a major asset for this pedal. In short, this is a pedal that is worth its price and weight of peanuts, it still weighs 1.2 kg.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this pedal for about a year and I do not regret my investment. If you want a dual channel distortion with character, try, you will not regret.

distortion pedal lamp ...
to see the rest of the net

UTILIZATION

configuration very simple: clear or bypass channel crunch and saturated (two levels).

there is everything you need.

attention must be paid to wheel double adjustable by turning the knob sometimes central, it leads to the outside ...

SOUND QUALITY

well and very good sound, are fastoches adjustment, ISF pedal go hyper versatile, you can just regret the fact of having a single equalization ... but hey, perfection is not of this world.

For my part, rock, blues ... hard ... do not worry, very happy with the product.

OVERALL OPINION

I used qq months before selling it and buying a blackstar HT5 H.

very happy with this fact bought one hundred euros occas ...
connected to an ibanez TSA15H that I found too just distortion ... I really found it really very very good.

pedal tube with two channels with a true light that walks in for his

UTILIZATION

its very simple easy to find

SOUND QUALITY

a killing that happiness

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 3 years and Obelix as I fell into it and not me going more
She rings and it's what we ask
Possibility of having a clear personal or crunch the crunch is the one that suits me because I play on all-tube amp in the clear
Saturate when with him I but with some grain and it rocks already serious I play mostly blues and rock must be said that the fact qu'étonnement serious with isf (no tax) we obtain that sound british j and uses the most through the Marshall see larger saturation as I think she will last for many a style true weapon of war
and if I can afford coupled with a tube amp it does not change the lamp because it has a more

With its two switchable channels, the HT-DUAL is the distortion pedal tube Blackstar most flexible ever created. Channel 1 has two modes, Clean or Crunch, which allows using either clean boost, or crunch. Channel 2 delivers tones from super crunch to lead sound hi gain. The switch system can turn your amp single channel amp with 3 channels. The ISF, Blackstar real innovation, will allow you to navigate between sounds while USA or UK record your guitar tracks has never been easier thanks to the output with speaker simulator.
About the ISF
This interactive control allows you to fine tune the response of the tone controls between the two voicings "traditional" U.S. and UK. You become the "designer" of your sound!
The ISF works in conjunction with the settings of bass, middle and treble to give you access to endless variations of sounds.
1 x 12AX7, Gain1, gain2, switch clean / crunch, bass, middle, treble, ISF, level1, level2, AC adapter supplied Weight 1.2kg, Dimensions 160 x 119 x 80mm

UTILIZATION

Easy to use and versatile, this pedal is definitely for all types of music from blues to heavy metal sound that spot. The downside, however, it would have been wise to be able to adjust the ISF regardless of the channel to hi gain crunch

SOUND QUALITY

Bluffed, I use it with a transistor amp Randall KH75 and there intake distortion is undeniable. Power and enormous wealth for the price

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over two years and I never tire of it. I use it almost exclusively for playing riffs nag metalheads and sound of this pedal still manages to amaze me (as long as we want to sculpt a sound with the ISF ...)
Today if I were to redo this choice, it would definitely (and still BLACKSTAR METAL will soon go out and it is not said I will not let me try ...)

T say it all, two lamps distortion channel, I will not go.
It is big enough (a lot of space on the pedalboard), trs solid. It should also dedicates the power supply utlise (16V), so have to use a power strip.

UTILIZATION

Not really plug and play, you must spend time to find his sound. But rglages trs are effective, including legalization. The knob of mdium has its place, he is the most important on the pedals as it is for the determination between a rhythmic sound (or rather dug plutt solo (mdiums forward), it is a trade (it says 12, trs sounded good too).
We regret the absence of legalization spare for each channel, which would have really made a killing!

SOUND QUALITY

this is my 2nd distortion pedals of the APRS satchurator (not including multi-effect) and although there is no photo, dual HT is much better than the satchurator was really his lamp . I mainly use channel 2, you get both a great rhythmic IDAL for their solos. Lowering the tone of the guitar (humbucker Yamaha Pacifica), it's approaching a Santana or Gary Moore (I said you approach, eh
Ideal for all that is shred, Satriani and whatnot ... on the other hand, we forget to mtal, unless you have an equalizer derrire (why I use the zoom g2.1u simulation and amp for recording).
Finally, it's really trsractif the volume knob on the guitar (even if was still at least a big crunch).
Note that channel 2 trs Ragit appear different depending on whether it is on the clean or crunch. My superfield suffers from a default on channel 2 which turns the bass. But suddenly, on a lightweight crunch, it acts as a treble booster, with channel 2 of the dual HT, it's really great to send the solos, we have more gain and sustain and it is very s fluid. I prfre this ulitisation plutt the Dual on the clean channel, which sounds a little too clean, prcis (but may be appropriate for plans trs shred fast, rhythmic or well supported es). The sound is good trs on the neck pickup.

Channel 1 (crunch) I was just over, I find it too stiff. It should trs well for everything ryhtmique rock, but I prfre far the crunch of my fender superfield xd - has nothing to see in terms of sound. Surprisingly, the channel 1 sounds more "harsh" on the humbucker position 3 (single + double).
In addition, the channel lacks headroom (impossible to turn down the gain and turn up the volume to significantly boost an amp dj lights in crunch), which is pretty bad.

Now, in a blues-rock record, the pedals is perfect for progressively add gain (crunch the fender - HT dual channel 1 for channel 2 potato and which sends its big).

OVERALL OPINION

I have the pedals for several months now, I made several concerts, and she is not ready to leave my pdalboard! I bought the satchurator because satriatni fan, but I did not find the height. So when I tried the Dual, I took a slap! it really is a distortion "Swiss knife", trs versatile, and sounds! ca soon to have 3 or 4 distos Different. The rglage EWB can be very useful for exploring new sounds, the coup was rarely around the pedals!
It must be put on the price, but it is largely justified.

I regret:
- The lack of EQ for each channel
- Lack of headroom on channel one (especially clean)

What are the effects or types of effects available?

So already said above + c is a distortion pedal of good size and well del aspect with 2-channel bi pass on 2CH

What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...)

food in a lamp 16v continuous input and the lamp is powered amp like a cd that it works and that there is no possibility of not making the battery operated
Each channel has its own adjustable gain and level
Part equalization is divided into severe, medium, and the acute isf and is common to both channels
also and only on channel 1 there is a choice by a small switch to have either a clear channel or channel crunch
The pedal has 2 output to your amp 1 and the other to a table or your sound card and has an example of emulation HP

UTILIZATION

The settings s doing so as a sound amplifier on paufine conjunction with the ISF and a 3-band equalization rule on the gain and level as you want on each channel
true bypassing on each channel is very convenient because it retains the clear sound of the amp can go crunch in the CH1 or CH2 in the lead and return to the clear sound of the amp without having to go through the CH1
I n ais not try out for the moment emule
also the manual is very clear and in several languages ​​qq configuration examples show you how sonn US or British depending on the cot or the button is turned ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)

SOUND QUALITY

Ah is not to say the c ca is effective and truly transforms a single channel amp with three channels I connect my tl was my VOX AC30 US via this little wonder day and now have three distinct sounds at the end of the foot without distorting the sound the amp is ca exceedingly hot on CH2 with limited feedback of harmonics that emerge when they are soliciting the while keeping an acceptable volume so as not to cover the group as it sends an AC30

OVERALL OPINION

I got it last Saturday, the model is beautiful with its little orange glow when lit it like it is on the ground and not slip 1kg2
lebipass independent to each channel is very well think the settings are intuitive and the sound is huge and does not alter the host amp
there might be a little less nya no interuptor and must disconnect but hey I quibble a bit
I do not use the push for a clear sound on the first channel, because I already have a very nice clear sound basic, but my amp and get it a day and a wonderful crunch to take a lead or solo qq rhythms MUSCL jy're back with the possibility of a return from no matter which channel has a clear base
The report price is amazing quality 219euros including shipping and delivered in 48 hours in colissimo Michenaud a nantes they still remained one qq last Thursday and I think it is the last of France before a long tps because of after the importer will have it no deliveries until late November early December and therefore not in stores until January
I have the pedal get that all over France and even abroad, and al c is thanks to the forum of Audiofanzine that I got the hose on a still online so THANK Audiofanzine NANTES, and Mercer Cigale who will recognize and that is sure not to notice soon
I would do without this choice problem

See below

UTILIZATION

The only problem is the difference in volume when the canal is one of clean to crunch through, otherwise SAR.

SOUND QUALITY

The level it sounds perfectly in a typed marshall amp, same transistor, I had tried in an MG 100 DFX and I was surprised by the result. Amp transformed;

Good crunch in channel 1 and (approximates Bluesbreaker Marshal, the heat of a lamp +) High gain on channel 2 (I did not say hight gain metal) see rock Grain Hard Rock;

He joined me on my fender (Special Edition Hot Rod Blues Junior and) the disappointment Sounds but it's not worth my tube facto more sensitive to the game (but less than gain it's true).

I have a tubeman 2, the output of the emulated tubeman I think is superior. I compared live sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I was looking for a two-channel tube pedal more independent than my tube factor.

This is the case. But personally I prefer the Hughes and Ketner so I sold the Blackstar, and seeks a second tube factor that I set to a different volume for the lead;

However, amateur big rock this pedal will fill you, I'm more (almost exclusively) Blues.

It's a distortion pedal with two channels of which is more a prampli for me!
It's all in the analog, there is a lamp supplies 300 volts like tube amps! 2 footswitch completly moving from one channel to another.
There is a between an amp and output to another mule.Le connector to the transformer (supplied) closes the connection section!

UTILIZATION

It's a simple setup for the same 2-channel amplifier has a: gain knob 1 and 2 with a 2 floors, switchbright / crunch, bass, mid, high, an ISF knob (SETTING THE timbre) and Volume 1 and 2 knob on two floors.
The ditone sounds easy to do and the manual in French is simple to understand and ffective dmonstration the deans and the first rglages.

SOUND QUALITY

In a word: SUPERB!!
Defines the sound is really dynamic even with distorted sounds great, the ISF knob is highly effective and winning enough to metal.L ISF allows a correction stamp to get sounds kinds California (fender) or English (marshall) and mix the two together on a wide range of uses with potatd.Je (in odre chaining):
guitar ESP / Ltd MH type 400 (with micro EMG 81 and 85), a nd a boss, the DUAL HT, a boss ls 2 and the amp EVAN 60.The amp is 40 watts and has 2 channels I commutes with the ls 2.Je plays a background and the distortion of two channels is dja standard, however, I did not clear, I also wanted an ultra sound distorted for a few breaks foudroyants.Le channel 1 allows me to have a clear sound even with the amp has thoroughly Balon, this channel allows me to have a clear and warm sound trs! Channel 2 allows me to add more agggression hearing (as my 1 st album), but a consservant DEFINITIONS and note velocity poustouflante Verily! The one I used to nd some riffs on a string or effects of jeux.Sur October 1 watt transistor 100 euros, the pedals C ' rvller is super efficient amplifier and transforms into a beast molasson combat!

Edict of 1.29:
The output is great mule raliste, plugging in my mixer gives me the trs satisfesant is dry and less aggressive than the amplifier output ddiea!

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 6/12/2007, the date of my birthday and I love the pedals!
It lacks a Second rglage EWB and would be perfect, but the pedals found in all styles of music!
I had flopped a distos pedals and amp but I have the sound I want with the pedals and the rest of my set! I bought 200 euros I cross but I do not regret it at all!
ELSEWHERE I will find out about the brand amps just to see!

If want to hear is what it is like the sound of the pedals, but also cost the rest of my service, I invite you to http://www.myspace.com/chookas

Well known, see what t said by our classmates.
The first simple but in fact many opportunities for discovering sounds.

UTILIZATION

As mentioned above, trs simple, but you really look at the rglages: both subtle and effective trs they give a broad sound palette trs.
I do not really play with the release mulate at the moment: just a single test on a hi-fi to see clearly not bad at all.
In short we are surprised discovering the nuances of sound distortion crunch that the really hard every 1/10th of a turn button: bass, middle, treble and really interact ISF, o wealth.

SOUND QUALITY

Before my little set: an HSS Stratocaster ibanez micro seymour (SH4, hot stack S2, S1 classic stack) => HT = dual> Zoom G7 => WEM Watkin head lamps (2 EL84, W 15) => 1 * 12 cab clestion G12H30.
All for walking to BBKing ACDC ...
As expected, the super smooth distortion crunch that hard. And all with, I find a good articulation trs notes: never draft. I do not push the volume trs far as I'm playing at home.
So I have to a modern amp hand wired vintage WEM in 1965 (same year as me: I'm old or what? Fortunately retains ca scratches ...). Zoom amne compressor, boost, delay, reverb, ... And although the sound is excellent and the nuances of play perfectly transcribed. Ht goes very with it all in jar and distortion. I finally crunch blues sound I was looking for with the models of ZOOM vriament without ever having what I wanted.
I love it!

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent, I will return ...
Just a pb of contact on the switch channel 2 which does not always snaps trs property (collateral) to adjust.
Otherwise the super stuff, which I recommend.

This is a two channel pedal, one which can be either clear or crunch (via a small switch), the other channel for the bass distortion. A lamp powered high voltage generates most of its. At the knobs, a gain and volume per channel, a switch clean / crunch, a bass, a middle, a treble, and a knob that ISF can generate ambiences by focusing on the frequencies. When you turn the knob to the left of the ISF, we immediately recognized the sound texture of Fender and Boogie, it is quite right in English (Marshall and Vox). The result is really surprising!

UTILIZATION

No need manual for this pedal are found all the controls of a conventional two-channel amplifier. The knob of ISF request that is interested in a bit to find his own sound and that is what is important. With the ISF is not transform the Boogie or Marshall Vox Fender, but you can find the sonic texture of these amps and their sound characteristics (bright treble on the amp US, warm mids on the amp UK.

SOUND QUALITY

Sound monstrous. The lamp and the equalizer circuit are very great job. The dynamics are superb. The clean channel can cruncher only (with single coils) or be clear, the channel is a real crunch crunch channel, much better than on some Marshall amps to name a few, on the lead channel, it is to die for land. I play with a Fender Stratocaster Vintage Noiseless and equipped with a Whale equipped with Seymour Duncan, all sent to a Marshall JCM 2000 TSL 60. I add a compressor to the Line6 pedal and it sends severe.

OVERALL OPINION

I have recently, but frankly it's the best distortion pedal and overdrive I've ever had in my possession (and I've had a few ...). It is not even quite expensive for the quality of sound it delivers. It is solid, nice, well thought out, well built, short run to buy it or at least try it ..

Pedal tube (made in Korea mine) powered 300V unlike other pedals that are powered lamps to less than 200V. The 300V power is typical of tube amp "high-gain". It seems that having one foot in voltée tube is a commercial asset ...
Channel 1:
- Light switch ==> Can be used as a preamp
- Crunch switch
Channel 2:
- Disto

Potentiometers available:
- Gain knob 1 & 2 (2 stacked knobs, very practical!)
- A push active on channel 1 section to choose between light or crunch
- Common 2-channel Bass
- Middle shared by two channels
- Treble common to the two channels
- ISF common 2-channel
- Volume 1 & 2 works the same way as the gain above
- Switch Channel 1
- Switch Channel 2

Construction:
Quality flawless finish, no play at the portards,
rubberized coating that aggripe much ground, one exhaust the
heat generated by the lamp, a small LED to orange
Obviously the lamp Sovtek 12AX7WA.

Easy connection, a guitar input, an output tube amp, a pedal or amplifier output transistor and an output for recording (HP simulator) and a socket for 16V transformer (supplied).

No MIDI interface.

So a priori in the characteristics is a real hit, it was everything you need in this pedal. Clear sound, crunch, distortion and bypass.
We feel that it's solid and can go to war (but without projection of water due to aeration, which gives an opening to the components).
And there ... but unfortunately

UTILIZATION

... this "but" is in use.
I criticized this pedal is that his level, it is really TOP, "what? He dares to criticize that?! But it's crazy!"
Bin yeah!
the clean sound (CH1) is so good!
the crunch sound (CH1 yet?) is so crunchy!
distortion (Canal2 this time) is so big and full!
and then I said to myself, but then damn! why is it that they do not separate the light crunch of two distinct channels with their own earnings and volumes?!
It becomes very inconvenient to walk on the 2 or impossible in the open games.
We must make a choice, use the crunch or use the clear. This is because of the small black button on the size of a fly that makes the switch.

So it's great to have all these sounds from under the feet, but when you can not operate properly while it frustrating!

Another criticism, ISF, ISF rah lala this ... It is a killing, is the first time I touch a knob as type "presence" and "VOICING" to change the color of sound.
It provides access to records as American and British.
Features out of hell! But it is not doubled (or tripled) to be associated with either the channel 1 and channel 2.

It's a mess! Please gentlemen of BlackStar, next time fill the pedal with these extras and it will be a machine of death that kills!

SOUND QUALITY

That's all I expected from a distortion pedal in sound quality course (ref. section use grrr ...)
This is the first time I hear a 15W transistor amp (H & K Edition Blue) sound as big and full. it's impressive, I do not regret having sold my 75W!

It's simple, the pedal is transparent and reflects the personality of my Willow's Spirit (stunt passing ^ _ ^) 2 Humbucker mounted in Rio Grande - Tallboy (to re-pass, because really splittable with 2 single coils ).

It sounds both Humbucker in Single Coil.
American-style set to ISF, was a clear slam on single coil.
And distortion of Humbucker is the mega potato guaranteed! Low frequencies are very nice as palm muting, and really leads the character. By adding a little delay ... hmmm ... believes there is too much!

The light switch in channel1 done wonders again, it's too bad not to have separated the light from the crunch ... It is also possible to make the cruncher channel1 clear, but it is certainly not the only switch CH1 crunch that pushed all the way to gain level can provide a super overdrive. I like to use the overdrive with the ISF britishisé Humbucker neck, it is round and warm ...

Otherwise, the setting frequency (Bass / Mid / Treb) is ultra efficient, it is very sensitive in the right direction. It sharpens easily setting.
The variety of sounds is very broad by combining the frequency settings, the ISF, the channels clear, crunch, distortion, it never ends. I am far from being able to exploit it for my records sound are currently unfortunately very poor.
I use the clear sound fendérien, the bluesy crunch, the big marshall overdrive, distortion and boogie. Finally do not rely too much to my descriptions of sounds, I must have a transcript of approximately lexical what I mean.

I have not been able to try out Direct. I would have the opportunity and I will share with you my impression.

Frankly, with sounds of this quality you can afford to play on small amps. Well, not stuff nazes unnamed preferably, though, finally .. must try, the pedal will give the most of your amp and that is not given to all.
Anyway, sound quality reasons I do not need to have a bigger amp, no need for tube output stage either.

I can not imagine it going on to bigger bowls ho ho ho!

[updated 09/06/2008]
Here, I add an additional opinion on the output Emulated Output.
Setup: Start SSH Blade ==> Ht-dual ==> Delay / Chorus H2O ==> Microphone Karaoke Mixer with a mid-range ==> Amp hi-fi pioneer VSX-810S ==> Sony 5.1 speakers
Do not laugh especially for karaoke mixer ... because the very fact that we can completely do without a dedicated amp to the guitar if you do not play at home and you're forced to play at low volume (shit disturber neighbors ...).
It can be according to my ears, a very good sound and mixed it passes nickel in hi-fi speakers. I do not have the high-end hardware, far from it, and yet I am very satisfied with the result. All sounds go well, the light to nag. The distos are as pleasant as Emulated Output. I had fun playing on the backing track with the mixer, it mixes very well mixed with the sounds of a CD.

I discovered another wonderful ability of this pedal, I'm happy!

OVERALL OPINION

It should be two weeks that I [-August 2007]. And I use it as much as I can.
In summary:
+ Variety of sounds, quality sound on two channels, ease of adjustment, manufacturing quality, price / quality ratio
- Lack of practical use when one wants to fully exploit the 3-channel (potential)

I had a TubemanII, it is worth as its equivalent to control, but the TubemanII is much more limited in the settings. Well, we can say that even at the same price, the HT-Dual will take it with her huge distortion.

I have not tried the other brand products, but because of lack of opportunity practices channel1 (yes I come back often), I think about taking a HT-Boost, which might give me a super clear sound, but it will not be the same, since there is no wealth tax and wealth tax if in addition there were two features I accumulate wealth tax, and it could be disgusting.
If this brings one more boost, I will offer it as soon as I can afford.

PDAL supercharges 300V lamp, unlike others who feed the sub-loupiotte to get their way ...
Channel 1:
- Mini - switch Clean / crunch

Channel 2:
- Disto

The rglages:
- Gain knobs 1 & 2 (concentric and not very practical because of my own, sometimes one leads the other in its rotation)
- EQ B / M / T
- ISF, which scans the frquences, strolling and the California Boogie mists of perfidious Albion Marshallesque
Note gnrale for knobs: a small dot of color t would be welcome to see better what we do and regain its brands more quickly (so-even feasible, but 200 Euros, you can piss off her world I think).
- 2 foot switches

If you play in flip flops or sneakers, please do not let the boiboite back on your feet: 1kg well done good scrap on the toes, made bobo ...
An input jack, two outputs (one for amp and one for connection to console simulation with HP)
16V power supply provided. I guess it was a boost for the 12ax7WA, but I will soon order a replacement. Over time I became cautious (or paranoid according to psychologists consulted)
1 point less for the power supply unusual and knobs.

UTILIZATION

Find sound quality is ais. In fact, unless you have a scratch compltement rotten, it is virtually impossible to leave a "bad" sound of the pedals. EQ effective gain sufficient (no need to put tons of distortion for a muscle) and output volume to date. If there is a manual, it does not get excited because I know what it says.

SOUND QUALITY

I plug my Ibanez in my sz320MH GH50L rgl for a clean / crunch, j'enclenche channel 1 and l. .. Finally, an overdrive that I like. Trsractif your muscle and dynamic game of my Framus V30 412 return gnreux bass, mids and treble Submitted never garish. Remains that adjust the legalization in the style of music first. Channel 2 should not either, with more drive, more teeth, but eat the dynamics (except SETTING THE extreme gain). Add to the action of the ISF and you have access to a range of sounds all usable, musical and Submitted (l o make other pedals sound but impossible INTERESTED out of the mix).

OVERALL OPINION

In spite of indisputable quality, Jekyll & Hyde silent my weary APRS reached 3 years of loyal service (too "clean" and too "smooth" I got). APRS 2 months of use (in DIFFERENT groups) of the HT Dual is my verdict. I finally have a versatile distortion, and muscle prcise not make everyone sourdingue (the distortion of the Laney is great but requires a minimum volume to be crdible, which is not feasible in any circumstances ...). I tried the Vox Bulldog who had not convinced. For the price it was the quality (missing is a wish ...), but still expensive ... Repeat the same choice? Why not? But scratch the LORD are unmet Contents of distortion. In a résumé of distortion pedals trs good to diversify your sound palette if like me you play on a single channel of lampes.Update 09-09-2009: utlisercemment in concert, dubbed a sound system, the ing their silent in heaven!

Distortion-pedal of a lamp (Sovtek) supplied with 300 volts (adapter as supplied with no batteries in this device)

an entry-level connections in a normal output and an output with a lower level (personal I used to play on my hi-fi

The pedal is mastok and is made of metal feels his ribs!

UTILIZATION

The first button is used to adjust the gain of channel 1 and 2 independently of each other over there is a small button that when triggered to have a clean sound on channel 1 (but push down the gain gives a good crunch)

c then the equa sensitive enough but not too much then the isf that can move from its Rican has a sound more marshall all the variations between and finish with the button of channel 1 and level 2

the manual gives pretty good set and explains the operation

it is easy to find a sound but as with all must quibble to find his sound, special mention to the ISF is not only against the bleuf by a high level his breath but maybe by changing the lamps can s 'I would try and arrange my mind I was editing.

I still quibble bbeaucoup to find my sound so I put 7

SOUND QUALITY

Effective, I want my nephew! the distortion is warm nothing to do with the infamous dung I have tried in my young life and has enough gain to make something fairly straight forward but not c for high gain.

I use it with an ibanez gio but I play regularly with the sg standart of a friend and kills her! especially on my marshall fullstack 1959slp I used to channel 2 boust VBAC story to have a big distortion and channel 1 on the crunch for playing stuff like Black desire without having to mount a 8.

I also used the clear sound of Marshall (which was a lol) story of playing at home in all cases ca sent!

also try a randall transistor, the same conclusion and it's hot but the pedal sends the sound colors must love the sound so it is not transparent

September 1 c'st deserves the best damn pedal that I know with Fulltone

OVERALL OPINION

I have since September, I like the sound of egg!

least, it is cumbersome bah

I try Fulltone, Ibanez, boss etc. ... but it is not the best the beast!

200 euros is expensive but when you have a plexi it did not stick effect of shit, with the experience I would buy this pedal faster by a little breath is perfect for me

For the technical part, see other opinions.

I AIM a 3rd footswitch to switch between clean and crunch live, and I think many would like an isf per channel.

UTILIZATION

Conifg 'simple dj Retailer in other reviews. I ritra for the footswitch that I AIM for the clean / crunch channel 1

SOUND QUALITY

I bought the HT because the dual drive Ht n'tait complte I got enough. I do not always comprendss why ht drive just a "tone" when the dist ht a 3-band eq ...

In short, I am not a consumer of distortion, so I never use channel 2. However, in distortion, it's certainly what I've heard better, even if I have the impression that the Ht dist silent a little better in that register. The distortion is not my registry, but this one I parat quite exceptional.

So I go back on the channel that I use, 1. This is probably the best overdrive pedals I have and I'm ultra jou difficult. The eq and isf gnrer allow a large variety of crunch and overdrive. I can not find the grain of my head 800 2210, but it does not m'empche m'clater with. There is good ractions the game, as the drive of a head, and it is that makes a lot of pedals suprieure lights of the genre. In short, it can be mumuse with the volume knob on the guitar to switch between overdrive and get a nice crunch trs, which are not all overdrive pedals (or not so well).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year.
Live: it complte my JCM 800 2210 (2 channels so), not as a booster, but as overdrive alternative, especially for typing in a more US Because the head is sometimes sensitive to buzz in a hostile environment, it is sometimes act as drive the end of the beginning. This is one of the few who did clap distos shame in the branch of my JCM clean.

A'm'baraque: hostile environment hostile to home ... JCM my head captures radio (I have this problem where I live: I live vicinity of a wireless transmitter) ... So the VAT replaces the marshall for the work and recording, plug into (brace yourself!) A peavey envoy 110 (first generation) he same branch in my 4x12 '. And Ben has rings, and without the Big Ttes in the background! (Yes, that was a plus RTL is ... lol).

So for those who doubt this config ', or who want to be an ide sound of the machine and its capabilities, you can have an ear (and eyes) on my space.
For mp3, the solos are mostly recorded with config 'ht / peavey (2 titles in the 800 direct), for the rhythm is too varied. The title Heaven's gate is recorded only with this config '. To connect the marshall, the vidos are "Backstage" (bottom, before the how), with the spirit rglage Lukather.

That says it all down, there is everything you need, except may be a level for the clean channel.

UTILIZATION

Easy, easy, why put a doc?

SOUND QUALITY

Tests with simple micro fender SCN, with P 90 with Les Paul studio, even with a low-end scraper (Epiphone Invader), ring! for amps, I tested it with Marshall TSL 602, Laney LC 50, Peavey Royal 8, transistor Marshall, Fender Hot Rod, H and K transistor, all the config, sounds, and whatever downstream effects.
The sound of this gem is organic, one senses the lamp, there's dynamics as a good Class A.
The sound of the instrument is I respect my strat Japanese redcouvert same with the pedals.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week, I will not let go! I tried bcp to other models, it is such a better Tube factor H and K, more versatile and also sharper (the H and K has a ct too "crmeux" I got) but remained hot even in large saturations. Incomparable with any of distortion pedals transistor.
I paid 130 used, I would remake that choice with his eyes closed!
The only snag is that there is no damage level indpendant for clean channel, which is a bit faiblar, we therefore need remmetre level hand if you also want to use the Crunch channel. At the same time, it is a distortion of pedals, I have not bought for clean sounds.

See below for dtails ...

Three channels of distortion pedals lamp, in short <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />

we regret may be that the Clean and Crunch is on the same channel, even it is a distortion of pedals, not a prampli ...

I put the power supply for 9, touours necessary, parfopis teachers in concert. Why did we not invent 16V battery?!

UTILIZATION

Use relatively simple configuration, but that requires time to adapt. 3 band equalizer between the ISF and has three pedals exchange volume knob / gain / tone!

The manual is clear, though ultimately not very useful.

Whatever the SETTING THE bx the, it always comes out good sound.

SOUND QUALITY

This is by far the best distortion pedals I've heard. I play on a Marshall 50DFX (transistor) with a superstrate Hammer, or a home Hagstrom Swede. The pedals fully respects the two guitars. The clean channel goes from a clean overdrive lgre, through the boost, the crunch you emmne pchue up the good overdrive, the Lead channel him ... it's really the big vintage distortion. It's simple: since I have, I no longer recognize my amp, and I change my fawn to play and to address the distortion.

I think this should PDAL any style of music, except perhaps be the metal. Personally, I play both of the blues BB King and Eric Clapton as the solo Gun's and Roses, to the rhythm of AC / DC power chords and Green Day is every time convaiquant. ..

ISF allows more to change your Marshall Fender, Vox or Mesa that quite impressive!

OVERALL OPINION

I use the pedals for two months. I had notemment compared with the Vox Bulldog, which ignores less versatile, less versatile (qualisation limit, no wealth tax ...)

Pay 185 new, I think the report is qualitprix l. J'avias autan afraid to put in a distortion, but I'm not the Ivest. I would do without this choice hsiter

distortion pedal for a 3-channel light

UTILIZATION

For my part, start it all already 12 and it sounds ten minutes later it was finished tame bte is relatively docile!

SOUND QUALITY

the attention, it rocks! very balanced frequency, grain distortion thanks to the modular ISF incisive grain to grain and drooling ... it necessarily able to find his sound! the warmth and presence are truly to meet you.This is a real treat.
it's an "animal" nothing to do with digital. I can not find actual default. I use it with Start, tele, gibson nightwak (see my profile) has a religious one twin reverb and frankly no problem compatibilitun Another highlight it ... great respect for the electronics of the guitar, I ' itilise regularly with an intermediate position (2 / 4) a stratum, it was the sound of the strata, but the fishing too! in my case I do not see how you could do much better!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this pedal to replace my Mesa V-Twin for the repair of it, and oddly this pedal really has nothing to envy the v-twin (aside the price) is more polyvatente all as rac very same adjustment, the dual VAT does seem more present, more severe. I also have a bull dog home vox and still has some HT KM in advance for a price equal Quazi! I Prefair is its realism, it seems that it is a distortion of natural the amp, some complain that the two channels superposed light / od, I understand but for me no problem the channel clear of being a twin and having a real regal Sardine Can I just have to celmo a slightly crunch without SOLICIT has the black!
The quality price ratio compared to the bull dog, nothing to do the report and better, compared to the V-twin is more difficult because it is the v-twin v-twin, but with 5 minutes of research on blackstar's easily found the sound of the v-twin (or so) but a third of the price!

So I would say that the blackstarest, for the time in matters of a distortion pedal to light a number of channels for the price most grandepedalque I never essaybr /> FYI I ' I had a 171 euros in Euroguitar (which is the site the cheapest and most serieuxdu web while being french, by the way)

this choice I would do without hesitation I can be the same again because I would buy in a good help!

This pedal will make noise in every sense of the term a reference ... soon ... no doubt!

Good, as are many opinions, I will not spread out more about the character.
Simply, what does and says is the original lamp.
It is a 12AX7WA is really inexpensive, but because in many uses amp and then after high sries. The quality in itself is good. APRS is more for the sound got a story ...
Also, something INTERESTED, the output enables efficient multi trs sound recording by plugging directly into the sound card are keeping a practitioner. It does not replace the power amp and mess, but the fact.
I also put 9 because nothing is ever perfect, and required power supply (requires lamp).

UTILIZATION

The grip and forcment not so easy, but if we start from a config with all afternoon and we follow the instruction manual, cimple and clear, we arrive quickly find one or more of its INTERESTED .
Please note, SETTING THE problem volumes tend to ask when you go from clean to crunch crunch and even saturated ...
Also, the knobs are trs can read, even in full Lumire difficult sometimes makes case indicators.
C'tait If possible, I will replace with a chikenhead parsken live, you just do not see SSAI o are the knobs just to ....( 7 a)

SOUND QUALITY

The sound, he and I and in DIFFERENT records and more. It is the only LISFS comes into its own. Without touching the EQs, you can easily change the registry.
Also, the pedals complies with the sound of the guitar and microphones.
Ms. plugs directly into a power amp and a 4X12, adchire.
A lot of dynamics in the saturation of the roundness in the clean if we want, just by playing more aggressive on the ISF.
Probably one of the most versatile pedals I've tried so far.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months and I think the price for this lev chouillat a range of pedals, is justified by the sound quality and workmanship.
In the 150-250 euro price range, trs is probably my eyes, the best (the most versatile, most convincingly, etc.). PDAL the moment.

Most:
- 3-band EQ
- Canal clean / crunch channel + saturation
- ISF (nothing to do with the IMPT)
- Sound "lamp" in pedals / pramp
- Exit MULBRI />
The -:
- P * tain of these knobs is o not see the brand
- Rglage volumes of 2 votes
- 1 volume indpendant for clean and crunch would t well
