There's a Blackstar Forum on Facebook you might want to join if you have a Facebook account. The reviews for that amp series seem pretty positive. Mostly four and a half, and five star reviews.
I have a Blackstar Artist 30 and a Blackstar Artisan 30. Those are the only Blackstars I have hands on experience with but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either of those.
They take pedals beautifully and I set my amps up for clean tones and then stomp on my overdrive pedals for my overdriven and distortion tones.
If you want distortion from the amp alone, those might not be the right amps for you.
But if you use pedals for distortion the Blackstar Artist and Artisan can't be beat for the price.

This couldn't be further from the truth with regards to the HT series.

Lew is talking about the Artisan series, which are great amps, but nothing like the HT Venue series which the OP was asking about. The HTs are great amps for the price, lots of SS stuff going on in them, but still great amps at the price point.
