    good start

    Blackstar Amplification HT-5RPublished on 06/13/12 at 01:32
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    All tube amp 5watt with an extensive connection of both channels clean and saturated with founi a button footswitch to change channels.
    To clean it has a volume control and tone.
    For the drive channel was volume bass middle treble gain
    A reverb and finally a button isf to modulate the sound of class A up to the class A / B

    UTILIZATION

    Sound configuration is simple, but if one seeks a well precise c is more complicated with the presence of the isf knob.
    The manual is clear and French.

    SOUNDS

    Amp sold after 3 months of use, we must say that I'm waiting to buy the repair of my other amp (randall rg50tc).

    SOUNDS

    Amp sold after 3 months of use, we must say that I'm waiting to buy the repair of my other amp (randall rg50tc).
    Does not suit me for the sound I find that it is tremendously low and palm mute are not satisfactory. I play as Metallica and palm mute and bass are super important.
    Even when it has a fairly wide range of sounds from jazz ballads to blues to rock ...
    I'm playing with a ibanez rg42dx rise emg81 and 85 active pickups so I think to start the guitar it's still a very good amp nonetheless.

    OVERALL OPINION

    J love the clean sound of this amp but the drive channel is anomalous due to lack of depth I find that c is cold.
    Value for the price is right.
    I think that in hindsight I would add a bit more money and buy a randall.
