Main Description

The popular small tube head, the Blackstar HT-5H, gets an update for 2011 to the Blackstar HT-5RH. This amazing Blackstar head now has reverb, a clean channel tone control, state of the art speaker emulated output and an MP3 / Line in socket for jamming.

Complete with a channel-switching footswitch the HT-5RH is the small tube amp that sounds huge. A few years ago tube amps weren't available on this kind of budget. Now, with the HT-5RH, they excel themselves with features and sweet tube sound to die for whether you need a shimmering clean or fat, searing drives.

Here's what Blackstar say about the Blackstar HT-5RH

When the original HT-5 was launched in 2008 it quickly became one of the most successful studio and practice amps ever designed. Packing all the great tone and ionnovative features of the award winning HT valve pedals into a two channel, goot switchable valve amp format with a unique push-pull power amp design it was an instant classic.

Due to popular demand 2011 sees this groundbreaking amp re-launches and improved with a whole host of new features:

Digital stereo reverb as found on the HT Venue Series and HT-1 adding a rich depth to any playing style.
Dedicated Tone control on the Clean Channel providing even greater tonal flexibility over the HT-5R's shimmering cleans.
State-of-the-art enhanced speaker emulated ouput for perfectly capturing valve tone to tape or disk
Stereo MP3/Line Input perfect for practice
The speaker emulated output can now be used at the same time as the internal speaker/extension cab, providing headphone free monitoring or the choice to blend a mic'd speaker and emulated signal together for unrivaled usability when recording at home or in the studio.

I couldn't be happier with this amp. I originally had a HT-1R combo running into a blackstar 4x12 and although I was really impressed with this setup, I wanted to have the effects loop and greater tonal control that the HT-5HR has. So I was able to return the 1 and get the 5. Perfect. I am using it in a medium sized bedroom and the combination of the 4x12 and the HT5 is nothing short of brilliant. I have power to spare and the amp really does have many personalities. If you are hesitating about getting it for home use; relax, you will be more than pleased with both the cleans and the range of distorted tones you can get. When you add in the line in and the headphones out you get an awesome setup. Go for it.

Great produtc... Blackstar 5H-R is a great mini-head, even using it with a very low volume you can play with headroom and dynamics...mp3 input is great for practise and the headphone/lineout output really seems a 4x12 mic'ed cab.
Andertons Music was very fast and in shipping and the box was well packed, a very safer spedition.
A really nice experience. Raccomanded.

A reputation well deserved! Fantastic sounds, right out of the box and with no pedals. I cant imagine what else I would buy for this price that sounds (and looks) this good. Reverb by Blackstar is the best I have heard built-in to an amp, and there's a lot of it here.
Two important points: The ISF only applies to the OD channel, so no clean ISF - BUT - turn down the gain and use the OD channel semi-clean, and its fine. Also, don't be fooled by the 5W sticker - this is loud!
I was going to put a negative in here as well, but I cant think of one. I guess I heard they're hard and complex to modify, but I have no intention whatsoever of even trying.
