    I've played this amp in a guitar shop before and it really does bring out the guitar very well. In this video, the way the strat sounded was exactly how a strat should sound. It's an excellent amp for the price. Think I'll buy myself one of these soon

    Love you guys! Thanks for the heads up on a another great amp. Oh, and thank goodness there is a 3000 mile ocean separating me from Guildford or I would likely be living every available moment in that music store.

    Good advice. I'm living in Europe, Romania. We have a 30 days return policy by law for most of such products so I'm covered. But I doubt I won't like it :). It has such a smooth, fat, complex and complete tone :).

    Super video. Thanks! Bought the ht5r combo at a christmas sale. Just love the gain, ESF function for all the unbelievable valve tones u get. Ideal for home practice n small gigs. Just love blackstar as they listen to users n improve futher. Tis new revised ht5 has a bigger 12' speaker, reverb, seperate tone eq for clean channel, effects loop n a long 6ft footswitch.

    I just bought the amp in the video today and it can definitely pull-off metal and modern rock with ease. It's an incredibly versatile amp and responds well to pedals. I've just been enjoying the crunch of it. Anderton's demos are some of the best you'll find on youtube, but even though they do a stellar job on their video production, it honestly does not do this amp justice. Go play one at your local shop. When I heard it in person I melted.

  • @Abs9106

  • @bignickm99
    @bignickm99 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I heard a few months ago this amp was coming, didn't know it was gonna have reverb though.
    Was told it was gonna be called the HT-5 plus.
    All it needs now is a output switch to switch down to 1 watt and i think it would be the "perfect" home practice amp.
    Just my opinion, before the haters start!!!!!

  • @chriss.7772
    @chriss.7772 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    By TH-cam's sound standards, this is probably the best Telecaster sound I ever heard.

  • @HerdingDogRescuer
    @HerdingDogRescuer 9 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    Most importantly is that it's a "chube" amp. Gotta love the Brits.

    Hey Mr. Chappers... Is the HT-5 loud enough to rehearse with drums?

  • @SomethinWild
    @SomethinWild 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Rob you totally nailed War Pigs, your voice is awesome for that song. You should do a cover of it for your next album.

  • @SoloEpi
    @SoloEpi 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Where do you live? In the states there's always Guitar Center. However, I would advise you, if you love the tone, to buy the HT5 an make sure there is a return policy in case you don't like it.

  • @hafstrat
    @hafstrat 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    As ever brilliant demo. You guys blow the guitar mag reviewers away with your wit expertise and knowledge. Not that the mags are bad nooo. Just that you two nail it. Now where's me credit card.

  • @iggygeeproductions
    @iggygeeproductions 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    This amp and a old Legend amp are what we use in the studio. Sometimes use a Pigtronix Philosopher's tone up front if the guitarist wants insanely high gain. The Blackstar does the modern hi gain sounds, has a nice creamy clean. The Legend does vintage crunchy and crystal clean. Then mix with Guitar Rig 5 (or not) in ProTools.

  • @andertons
    @andertons 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @georgebonney Having tried both, I think the HT5R has all the bluesy tones of the HT5 - just with a bit more bass end & reverb. Have a look at about 10 minutes into the video for some nice blues stuff... Cheers, Lee

  • @somoshun
    @somoshun 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Rob! What do you think, is the HT5 would have been enough loud for bigger gigs as well, of course with a 4x12 cabinet atteched?
    Thanks for your aswer, Im very before of purchase some BS amp :)

  • @Lysdexia

  • @RutgerVeltman
    @RutgerVeltman 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lol, it's freaky that I just thought about how epic a blackstar ht-5r would be, and then this video (by one of my favorite guitar players) was uploaded :)

  • @digiscream
    @digiscream 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hate to say it, guys, but it's not "all tube" - it has a hybrid preamp, so a lot of the gain comes from clipping diodes (there's way too much gain for the small valve complement). Only mentioning this 'cos I like Andertons and I'd hate you guys to fall foul of advertising regulations :)

  • @mhw6160
    @mhw6160 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    This shows Blackstar listen to their customers. This is exactly the amp I asked them for. I would have added the DPR down to 0.5 watts too though.

  • @YanniBG
    @YanniBG 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have the HT-5H head with a 1x12' Blackstar cabinet and I totally love them! It's a perfect combination for home practice (well a little too loud for my neighbors) and I don't see getting anything else in the near future. :-)

  • @guitardudeoftheuk
    @guitardudeoftheuk 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Chappers i first saw you demo the Marshall class 5 at Marshall head office and have followed your stuff on and off, this demo and your playing is excellent mate i know you sometimes get crap from people but your playing and humor works. On the back of this demo i am going to purchase the HT5R head tomorrow from Andertons Top Job boys, play hard have fun ;0)

  • @Bodhidrop
    @Bodhidrop 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Getting back into playing guitar (I'm a lapsed bassist) .... very, very versatile little amp. You can do stoner/doom raunch, late 60s SF weirdo rock, Zappaesque mid 70s wonkery, Heavy or mellowed out blues ..... killer little box. Nice n' fuzzy, but cleans up pretty well. Warm and purdy. You guys are great!

  • @lewiswhatley687
    @lewiswhatley687 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    from what i understand, the only difference is that the HT-5R has a built-in reverb an the other doesn't, but i think they both come with an effects loop so you can attach pedals anyway (although if i were you i'd double check that last part).

  • @lyndsayiu5
    @lyndsayiu5 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Might be an interesting idea to run two different amps. Hard to say really as they're all pretty different amps. What kind of style/artists are you going for?

  • @Jordsqualitycontent

    Thanks again Anderton's for another great amp demo video!

  • @georgebonney
    @georgebonney 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi, great post. I know the HT-5 fairly well and enjoy the backed off bluesy tones but from what I have gathered elsewhere and here there is more gain on this version of the amp and so I'm wondering whether it's lost some of it's bluesy tones in place of a heavier classic rock feel on the low end of the gain ... What do you think? Many thanks in advance.

  • @imsiepimsie
    @imsiepimsie 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a practice amp i would go for the 5 Watt blackstar, not only can you make use of all those nice 5 Watts since its only for practice ( and 40 watts is a little over the top for a practice amp ) but you can also alter your tone by using the isf, and believe me this amp is really versatile! i have it myself :D

  • @kibbles1053
    @kibbles1053 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Don't know why I'm posting, but Captain and Chappers did a review on the Epiphone Nighthawk Custom, and I bought it. Then they did the HT-5R, and I bought it. I might have a problem.

    • @kibbles1053
      @kibbles1053 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +guitarfreak3422 I love it. I like the footswitchable channels (footswitch included), the effects loop, and the built-in reverb (even though I usually use my Nova Reverb pedal). The clean channel just has volume and tone, which keeps it simple, and the distortion tones are pretty great too, with a 3-band EQ. Plus, the ISF knob changes the EQ, giving you even more flexibility. And it gets so loud, much louder than I can play with in my apartment. I happened to get a good deal on the white HT-5R a while back. Haven't had any problems with it.

  • @georgebonney
    @georgebonney 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @georgebonney I've answered my own question using the manual on the blackstar site the EQ is now for OD only and the clean channel is only controlled by the tone control and (maybe) the ISF. I'm still interested if there's anything other than tube based distortion going on. Thanks!

    @andreassmidelov 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm intending to buy the HT-5RH as well. Can it handle stuff like Avenged Sevenfold, Nickelback and Metallica? In this video it sounds kinda muffled, but maybe that's just the cab?

  • @georgebonney
    @georgebonney 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is the clean channel still hooked up to the 3-band EQ given that there's now a separate tone control for it? I'd also second the question regarding diodes for distortion given that there is more gain now.
    Thanks

  • @LoganBoyle12
    @LoganBoyle12 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    i think i prefer the mic, emulated sounds kinda choked if that makes sense, the mic gives it a lot more roundness, maybe due to the room ambience getting picked up as well?

  • @Fkepler2
    @Fkepler2 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    well heres the thing when you put a amp through a cabinet it divides the power equally into each speaker. that is why its possible to have a 4x12 with 25 watt greenback speakers in to a 100 watt marshall superlead. the amp is going to put 25 watts of its power into each of the 4 speakers, so its sounds full equalling better tone. with a 5 watt head into a 2x12 will be 2.5 watts its just how it works. dont get a cabinet for that it wouldnt be ethical. but more speakers the sound travels farther.

    well guys, if you can help me: i spent few days listening to dozens of demos for various amps.. and by far I fell in love with the tone of ht-5r.. that would be a big step forward to me, I use a Fender Mustang 1 for the moment.. BUT..
    I can't find a ht-5r here to play and listen to it for real.. i'm ready to order it though and my only concern is: do those 5W deliver a comparable or superior sound volume versus those 15W of the solid state Mustang 1? .. i fear it couldn't be loud enough... ty

      I've just bought the Atomic Amplifire and love it but in the video for it they used one of these. I've never been very impressed with Blackstar amps but I am looking for one with an effects loop to try. I like Roland amps and was thinking of maybe a new Jazz Chorus 40 as I mostly play clean, however I wondered if maybe I should take a look at this? I play at home, small gigs and record.

  • @georgebonney

    It will be the same volume, if not louder. It can get incredibly loud when you have it gunned with a shit tone of gain. I'm also about to get the Ministack version, and that was very loud at about 9oclock on the volume dial. I was sat next to it lol...
