NAD: Blackstar HT5R

[Aymara]

Hi,

 

I got me the new Blackstar HT5R combo in white (Limited Edition), a great tube amp for recording and home use ... also has a heaphone out. It's the newer version of the former HT5, which had no reverb.

 

This thing is pretty versatile, be it clean, crunchy or really heavy. Here's a nice demo video concentrating on the head, but the combo will be seen at the end too.

 

PS: Clean tone demo starts around 08:00

Did I mention, that it especially sounds great with Les Pauls?

Congrats. I have the head version in black and love it!

Thanks!

... and a nice cab too regarding your sig.

The cab isn't bad for the price ... but I have a hard time finding anything I like enough better to fork over the dough :)

 

I've reversed the speaks on the Blackstar and Bugera, but wasn't much diff to me

This looks tempting (Marshall 1960b):

Don't know, if it's worth the upgrade for you.

 

 

PS: I saw a video of a German shop, who showed the head with a 2x12 cab with bass reflex ... pretty awesome. Can't find that video anymore :( ... don't remember the brand, grrr.

Sounds pretty good, but I need a P90 guitar and an acoustic first :)
