  • Why I LOVE Blackstar

    I recently having been tweaking the settings like crazy on my HT-20 head and I've found another really good reason to like it. Not only does it have a gain knob, but it has a gain volume knob. Basically I've come to conclusion that having both is invaluable when trying to get the perfect saturation of gain, because I can set the gain on 4 and gain volume on like 7 and make it so that the gain is not very saturated but the volume acts as like a boost so I can still get really good omph from the tiny bit of saturation. I love that. I really think I have dialed in my perfect amp tone.

    Me too. Ht5. Perfect for quite apartment playing. The tone at this volume and at this price point is tough to beat.

        For the price, the HT series is unbeatable.

        Un. Beatable.

          Nice. There's a local dude trying to sell a HT-5 combo and extension cabinet for a ridiculously good price and I'm seriously trying to work up the cash to nab it before someone else does.

            I plugged my PRS into my Blackstar yesterday, and it's a great match. For some reason, my LP loves the Jet City, but the PRS does not get along with it nearly as well. And 5 watts isn't nearly the stumbling block people might think it is. How you like that, Kam?

              Well, I don't have a Les Paul and I don't like PRS (mostly because I've no idea how to pluralise their name. 'PRSs' just looks and sounds retarded...) so that has like no effect on me at all.

              I'm pretty grateful you don't have a Tele, though.

                  Ain't it the truth. There's always someone telling us how good something is, and human nature being what it is, we end up checking it out, and then...

                    I absolutely LOVE my HT-40 combo and my HT-5 head!! They are GREAT amps! I'm actually thinking about picking up an HT-5R combo before too long also. Lol
