HT-5R MKI 1x12'' Combo Amp

Description

The HT5-R has always been a top seller for Blackstar. At five watts, it’s the quintessential low-watt practice amp. And the MkI version ups the ante with re-voiced channels and a plethora of player-friendly features borrowed from its higher-watt brethren. The HT5-R MkI’s upgraded clean channel epitomizes the modern boutique tone, while its drive channel serves up a muscular array of distorted textures. And thanks to Blackstar’s patented Infinite Shape Feature, you can dial in everything from inspiring British edge-of-breakup grit to tight and punchy American high gain. You also get an onboard reverb, speaker-emulated output, USB output, effects loop, and more. The HT5-R MkI is an excellent all-rounder for your practice space or studio — it delivers premium tube tone no matter what situation you use it in.
