    Very good pedal

    Blackstar Amplification HT-DualPublished on 12/23/10 at 07:49

    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.

    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.

    A KILLER! Replace a little amp for the game room!

    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 …

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 ...)

    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

    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

    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.

    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 ..

    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!
    [end update]

    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.

    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!
