Description
The award-winning HT range is one of Blackstar’s cornerstone valve amp series. The HT MK III Series of guitar heads, combos and cabinets are the culmination of decades of design experience and innovation.
This 20W Head has two footswitchable channels & a built-in Reverb. Packed full of features, this head is a perfect choice for practice, recording and stunning tonal quality.
Key Features
- Professional USB Recording Output – Now updated to USB-C, this is the simplest way to get valve tone onto your recordings.
- Power Reduction Switch – HT-5 MK III and HT-20 MK IlI models feature a power reduction switch. In each case this will reduce the maximum power output to about 10% of the normal rated output.
- Jam Along, Silent Practice & Record – Use the Line In for jamming along or listening to music, and the Line Out for ‘silent’ practice or recording.
Clean Channel
The MK III Clean channel is a very versatile and perfect for producing a wide range of classic clean and crunch tones. The two different voicings use both parts of an ECC83 valve exclusively for producing any valve compression or crunch.
Overdrive Channels
The overdrive channels give a rich, responsive Overdrive Channel with its own Voice switch. Choose between Classic Overdrive or Modern Overdrive. The high-gain Voices are tight and focused.
Patented Infinite Shape Feature – ISF
The ISF control allows you to infinitely adjust the response of the tone control network between any of the traditional voicings in a way that has never before been possible. In this way you can design your own sound and truly find 'the sound in your head'.
CabRig
Blackstar’s IR-based speaker simulation DSP software. Choose from 100s of microphone and cabinet combinations within Blackstar’s free software and store 3 CabRig presets directly into your amplifier.
