Product Description

Blackstar HT-1R 1W Combo with Reverb

For those of us who loved the HT5, but really need to keep the watts down, the Blackstar HT1R Guitar amp is bound to be a hit! It packs in 1W of all tube punch into a tiny portable combo which just oozes tone! You can crank the little beggar at home and enjoy the sort of tones you'd expect from a searing Blackstar amp, but at a volume that will barely leave your bedroom.

When you do need to take the HT-1R to a gig, just plug a cab into the provided speaker output to move more air and get a massive sound. Mic it up, and you could play a stadium with this amp! Dial in the built in digital reverb and you have a killer, practical amp at a price you won't believe.

Here's what Blackstar say about the HT1 Combo

The HT-1 is the perfect studio and practice amp, packing all the great tone and innovative features of the award-winning HT-5 valve amp into a 1 Watt format.

The patent-applied-for ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) circuit gives you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control network and takes you from the USA to the UK and anywhere in between. So now you can effectively design your own tone and finally find 'the sound in your head'. In making the HT-1 ideally suited to home and studio use, the aim was to develop a valve amp which sounded full and toneful even at the lowest volume level.

With this in mind the Blackstar design team designed a brand new valve power amplifier topology. The HT-1 power amplifier is a low powered push-pull design which produces the crunch and break-up characteristics of a traditional 100W output stage but at a much lower volume. This is achieved by the use of an ECC82 dual triode in push-pull configuration producing 1 Watt output, which is rich in valve harmonics and compression.

The HT-1 also has a fully specified speaker emulated output which further enhances the studio credentials and allows any guitarist to get amazing valve tone straight to tape or disk, or through headphones. Add to this an MP3 / Line Input, along with an 8 speaker output which allows you to run the amp into an external speaker cabinet of your choice, and you have everything you need for recording or practicing.

Gorgeous little amp, I love the reverb in it. Sounds nice clean, compliments my Fender offset Mustang nicely.

Mr Andrew Wallace27th Jan 2019

This is a great little amp for home practice, even at only 1w, less complex than others and so easy to use especially if you are a beginner, the twin tubes add that little extra warmth to the sound.

Pete Simcoe24th Jan 2019

The neighbours said they can definitely hear the difference between the tube amp and they were also happy with my new purchase. They said it was about time as they were getting a little annoyed by the harshness of digital overdrive and preferred the more natural sound...I'm inclined to agree.

OMG!! I love the tones out of this Amp, I am trapped in the netherworld of Beginner to Intermediate player. But I wanted an Amp that didn't sound like I sellotaped a Car speaker in a Cardboard box!! I certainly got that, it is a beautiful Amp, my only complaint would be the carry handle is a little small for those of us who have hands like shovels!! I can only fit three fingers in there...... ;o

A lot has been said about this amp. Now that I have it on my hands I can confirm that it is indeed an amazing piece of equipment. I also have a modeling amp but this one is much more pleasant to play. You feel and hear indeed the warmth of the tubes while playing. But what makes it a winner for me is that if I try for example a pedal or a mod on my guitar I can actually preview what I will get from my main (tubes) gear. I read that some musician fellows like to upgrade tubes and/or speaker in this little amp. I have to say that to my hears it is not needed. It plays just fine right out of the box! That easy. So my plause goes to Blackstar for their products (my third one, actually; I also own HT Club 40, HT Club 50 MkII); I just hope that through the years they will continue providing great gear for affordable prices. Thanks to Andertons for making shopping from overseas a breeze for people from other countries like me.
