AXE® Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I recently went out and test fired the Blackstar amp line up and was totally impressed with...well Everything! Selling 2 of my Marshalsl 100s 1 AFD - 1 DSL. And replacing them With 1 Artisan and 1 Series 1. For a starter I nabbed one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan H Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Might pick up the HT-5 for a nice portable jam night amp...and to save money on tubes. How loud does it get? -Ryab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Cool man. Ive never tried one.. But I may have to have a go the next time im in the local shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 It"s loud enough to gig. When I was trying it out we had to close off the guitar room. might have been my playing, not the volume. lolz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How loud does it get? -Ryab My HT5R head drives a 4 x 12 louder than you want to be in front of :) Cool thing is the sound stays sweet when you turn it down.

capmaster Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Using Blackstar amps you may even find ALL of the sounds in your head! These amps make all the rest depend on guitar, player, and pickup selection. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yeah they are building some excellent amps. Haven't heard a bad one yet. But AXE® selling off stacks to buy combos? WTF? Surely the end is near. The earth is spinning off its axis as we speak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Look at that layout! Clean, easy, and it makes sense. No 50 knobs, 3 dozen toggle switches, or trim pots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryUK Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I personally don't think you ever achieve the sound in your head. But I have a HT5 and it's great. You can go out of the effects loop into a bigger head to boost it. Use it as a slave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plus Top Dan Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I love my Blackstar HT5-R Head and cab. Great amps and great value. If anyone's looking at a getting a new amp, they should definitely try out a Blackstar of some sort!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 OMG IT HAS NO GFORCE The missing gravity improves tone. Heavy sounds will easily propagate from the speaker cones. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobF_ Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The missing gravity improves tone. Heavy sounds will easily propagate from the speaker cones. :P Lack of 'GForce' is a common complaint. 'GForce' is labeled 'ISF' on Blackstar amps. Twist the 'ISF' (aka GForce) knob all the way to the right and the full weight of gravity will take you to "Heavy Heaven" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Pup. The combo is just the appetizer. There will be stacks. Fenn... lolz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Good to see Axe back up on the forum I got an HT-5 about a year ago based on recommendations from guys on this forum and have not been dissapointed. I like to play clean a lot, so did replace the tube with one that has a little more headroom, but that was like less than $20 to dial it in the way I like.
