New video up from NstuffMusic.

 

Blackstar HT5TH Limited Edition 2x10 Combo Amp

 

There other combo has a 12" speaker, this one has 2x10s in it, and is a limited run.

Sounds good, but I am partial to it since I picked up the 5 watt head with reverb last weekend.

 

These are Celestion speakers too.

I've never been a fan of NStuff's vids, think its because usually they just use the jazz player

 

And All their demoers ever play is lead, and it's always some kind of jazz or jazz-infused blues. Need some other styles in there, as well as some rhythm playing.

It sounds really good. I wonder how they get 5 watts out of a 12ax7 power tube, though. It surely can't be the same 5 watts you get out of a 6V6, no?

 

I'm not a fan of using a lot of speaker on a small amp. I like small speakers on small amps. Oddly enough, to my ear, amps sound small and weak when they have too much speaker.

I could be 100% wrong on this as I know nothing of amp wiring etc. But I thought he switched which type of tube was in the pre-amp and which was in the power amp in the demo.

I thought he said ECC83 in the power tube too tho.

 

Oh well,, anyway,, that's pretty nice sounding rig. If I was in the market for a low watt combo, that would prolly top the list.
