lazarusvt84 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Anyone own or tested these relatively new amps? We tinkered with this one http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Blackstar-Venue-Series-HT-Club-40-40W-Tube-Guitar-Combo-Amp?sku=423768 at our local music shop....just came in. Very nice sound. Designed in Britain, made in Korea...a splitter group from Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Shred Astaire has one, I have played with a few. Was set to buy one, but IMO, it is more suited toward metal or hard rock, I was looking for a more versatile amp for a lot of stuff. I don't want to say its a one trick pony, but it is great on the gain channel, clean channel is lacking. At least on the HT Club series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 my HT5 head has been played 2-3 hours a day (home use) for over 18 months now with absolutely NO issues. about 3 months ago I replaced the pre-amp tube w/a Russian Ruby ecc83 High Gain, and it tightened the crunch up quite nicely. I push it through a 1x12" cab loaded w/a Jensen "vintage ceramic" series speaker.....c12q I think......it makes for an extremely nice blues/honky-tonk rig. this coming September (when I get my annual "profit-share") i'm really thinking about getting something from their Artisan series.

lazarusvt84 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 My local just started carrying them but I haven't played one yet but I hear nothing but good things about the line. Almost bought me one today....new...then saw a Craiglist ad for a 2-month old one being sold for only $500 (guy needed cash) .....then saw a B-Stock Bogner Alchemist 1x12 on eBay for a great price...and bought it.
