All user reviews of 4/5 for the Blackstar Amplification HT-5H

Everything has already been said by others.

UTILIZATION

Super simple.

HOWEVER, the effects loop: I declare a volume problem between clean and distortion. Problem that distorts a loop when using a Loop Station.

SOUNDS

Correct sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I used four years and I've always enjoyed the sound. Having freshly put together a group, the 5-watt HT-5 were no longer enough.

This amp is a great compromise lamp for you living room between Marshall, Mesa Boogie, Engl ...

Under the same circumstances I will redeem Blackstar!

Head lamp 5 watts, a 12 AX 7 and a 12 BH7 Between guitar emulation output (I have not tried it except the headphone) outputs 16 or HP 8 Ohms, effects loop ( well a) and taken footswich. 2 channels with a common 3-band EQ and the famous "ISF", actually a filter that a ct emphasizes the mids, and the other hollow - the price is trs complete

UTILIZATION

Easy setup, no special concern must refine rglages his ear and then it's all about nuances notte with isf that can vary the color of sound - manually clear - the product looks sturdy .

SOUNDS

I plugged into a 1X12 cab Engl enV30 closed with a good performance - I play with SG stratum or above, I use effects - a reverbou a delay in the loop, with no particular Pb, and MXR GT OD in between to boost crunch. Reserved for lecanal J'mets a clear, although it is usable with many effects, I find it a bit "bland" missing rebound heat. You can change the lamp pramp, but since there is only one, it will be a compromise with the channel is a bit saturated the problem. I found a proper balance with a few prs GrooveTube, I had a better clean with Electroarmonix, but the silent drive dgueu ... This is the weak point of this amp. The channel is saturated trs good job with a drive progressifqui can be heavy saturation at an end, and multiple variants with the ISF - perso I boost my overdrive channel mid gain, and file good solo has made me a channel troisime - Attention, there are volume, if we push, to send, especially with a V30 and performance of 100db! No Pb riffs for nervous or looong sustains.Par cons I have little harmonic is always a little "right" ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this to play in my head, without dtruire home. The volume is Grable, it is enjoyable, has not heated, the effects go well trs, and it meets the sound of your guitar. But there is this weakness in his clear, this sound impersonal, a little cold.
I would say that the focus of this amp is saturated with a quality clean manufacturing trs. What attracted me is the connection complte and the capacity to have the correct volume light, easily transportable, and few onreux. Now I do not know many other heads "low power" lights, some struck me as too pure (style one volume, one tone)

<strong>Edict of 18/11/09: On board of a local manufacturer of lamps amp, I test (and keep a Sylvania 12 AX 7 OUR select by him: A council, therefore, Do not hesitate to see a specialist in lamps, and try trs good because a lot has changed the sound. My clear channel has become more open and flexible, the saturation is also well more dynamic. Everything for little money!</strong>
