New Amp Day....Woo Hoo!!

And I am absolutely, totally in love with it. I ordered it on Friday from Musician's Friend since I could get 10% off from their Memorial Day sale. It came yesterday around 3 o'clock or so in the afternoon, and I played through it pretty much constantly until around nine o'clock last night. I'm just totally blown away by it. What an absolute great amp for me to not only practice with, but do some recording with as well. I told myself that I wouldn't let yall know what amp it was because I was going to post a new amp thread, and then make some clips for you to guess what it is. However, I don't have my recording stuff set back up yet, and I've been playing through it so much that I haven't even thought about setting up my recording stuff to make any clips yet.

Man oh man this amp sounds great. I love it!! I plugged in some headphones in it last night to give the 1x12 and 4x12 simulated outputs a whirl, and I thought they sounded pretty good.

I'm not working tommorrow, so I'm going to setup my recording stuff and give yall some sound clips. I'll mic it with my Sennheiser e609 I bought a couple of weeks ago, and also record it with the different sounds from the simulated outputs.

I am now a part of the Blackstar HT-5 gang, and am loving every single bit of it at the moment. I honestly don't see my love for the amp changing whatsoever either.

I also forgot to mention that I bought a Blackstar DistX from fellow forum member mirkok1 on Saturday night. It arrived today. I haven't had a chance to jam through it yet because I'm so into th HT-5 at the moment. I'll make some clips of it tommorrow as well. From the clips that I've heard of it on youtube, it is a metal mf'n machine!!

Thanks again for the great transaction mirkok1.

Nice, didn't I guess it was a BlackStar at the third attempt the other night Mr. JJ? Glad you're liking it, I tried one last year and the amount of gain available was wild! Enjoy and goodnight!
 
Re: New Amp Day....Woo Hoo!!

Try feeding that thing into one of your 4x12s or two 4x12s if possible, it'll become a beast.
 
Re: New Amp Day....Woo Hoo!!

I got the same one the other day but in the oxblood colour :)

Absolutely love these things, best little amps out there for the money, good quality and great sound, simple and straightforward with some balls to it, spot on! :D
 
Re: New Amp Day....Woo Hoo!!

Blackstar are producing some fabulous stuff. The HT Dual is the centre of my tone at the moment. Congrats on the purchase JJ...
 
Re: New Amp Day....Woo Hoo!!

****in' sweet. Congrats, man. Have a blast and I can't wait to hear some clips. :friday:
 
Re: New Amp Day....Woo Hoo!!

Congrats man! Glad you're so happy with it!

haha, seeing it sit in front of those stacks makes me think the neighbors will be happy too!:joke:
 
Re: New Amp Day....Woo Hoo!!

nice score! its hard to imagine you NOT playing through a 100 watt full stack though ;)
 
Re: New Amp Day....Woo Hoo!!

So what do you get from that amp that those beastly 100+ watt stacks behind you don't give?

I'm curious. And congrats, by the way!
 
Re: New Amp Day....Woo Hoo!!

Hey John- do you any other Dirt pedals you can put into it and see how it does? (I would assume that their own pedal would sound good).
 
Re: New Amp Day....Woo Hoo!!

I've got the head, and it's a great little amp. Nice to hear you're enjoying it! I don't anticipate the excitement wearing off real soon, either. I've had quite a long honeymoon period with mine.
