Thanks for making the best amp ive ever played thru, honestly hands down no contest , got it from the rock shop in Springfield Illinois,212 combo with multiple tube choices.
I just bought this, And I have to say... AWESOME!!! I AM BLOWN AWAY.... So versitile and takes pedals very good!! Including overdrive pedals! I'm using a carl martin plexitone . In both clean channels and overdrive, and WOW....!!! I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER👍
Sounds great, and nice playing too.... Just pimped my old ht5r combo with an original celestion greenback from my old 1960 AX, and that sounds killa!!!!!
Love my HT5R, brilliant amp which pairs with a LP Tribute 60's Epiphone. First electric guitar and amp (with a GT1 as well). If I was on the market, I'll buy it directly - no brainer :)
классный звук, клин почти как на fender blues junior и twin - подобных. кранч достоен уважения, есть send-return эффектов, есть ext speaker out, супер!! СРАЗУ ВСЕ ФИШКИ, хотелось бы , конечно понять. как он работает с педалями, и как он работает с внешним PREAMP это лучший усилитель, что я видел в 2019 году: цена адекватная, звук преемлимый, приятно слушать, всем рекомендую, кто сомневается в выборе лампы, спасибо за обзор
i have the same amp and mine, it is new, and it does not sound any close to this, does anyone know why? is it faulty? my clean voice 2 does not have this little crunch tone. It is paired with an epiphone les paul standard 50's.
Hi I know this video was posted a while ago... so I don't know if I will get a reply but here goes...First of all great sound and playing. I recently bought a HT5 MK11 amp and I am struggling to get a good clean tone. I have a custom shop telecaster and wondered if it would be possible for you to share your settings on this video? The overdrive is amazing and in fairness that's why i bought this amp. Hope you can help - thank you.
Today I tested my new Artist 10 Ae vs my Ht 5 R combo, or a Laney 5 IRT Combo , Marshall DSL 20 head into 1x12 Vintage 30 or a Egnater Rebel 20 MK 2 head into a twaeaker,1x 12am cab to check within different tubes same settings..you know the answer?!.I think the Ht 5 with the Celestion speaker would work bit better for me..i hooked up a Clestion Vimtage or Heritage 1x12 or a tweaker 1x12 cab..and baaamm ..my dream concept would be make a Artist/Artisan/Series one in one amp..with a tube selector switch..that will blow all! The aritst is one of a kind combo which sounds better as it is than with any extension cab or effects in front! Plus only 3 knobs you need, the rest you do with the footswitch and guitar pots., no big dial in job at all...Good job folks
Aren't they are little more expensive than the amp in the demo? I've seen a few around on the used market. Really like Blackstars, they just seem to suit me. Been through all the popular alternatives and something like an Artist 30 might be home base for me. V30s.
@@mattgilbert7347 Not really..all in the 400 - 600 bucks range ( used or new)..V 30 to swap also affordable (the 10 has a seventy eighty speaker the HT 5 blackst. Speaker)..an Artist 10 is very loud an 30 ..may blow my roof away lol. I found when using the Blackstars fully cranked in standby emulated out into a stereo USB interface or into a pa you get unbelievably sweet sounds @ headphone to Concert levels..even w/o utilize the speaker built in. ..cranked 6v6 are less loud but Sound perfect in saturation, cranked 6L6 Tons of headroom 2 of them...hello Royal Albert Hall here we are🥴
Needs to be turned pretty loud for the clean channel to start breaking up even on 0.5w. No master volume on the clean channel. It a great amp though. Love mine and sounds awesome through the headphone socket. I did use my bass guitar and wound to 11 to warm up the speaker because it sounded nasal and naff straight out of the box. I find the drive channel to be much more metal especially with humbuckers than this video suggests. Repeat it's a great amp for what it does.
i thought it may have been a bit lame in 0.5w and not given the full effect of the amp...so i was thinking of just getting the ht1r..but you say its ok in 0.5w mode??
Ht5/20 questions blackstar: I m Sorry DO I NEED A LOADBOX FOR LISTENING the sound' s amp THROUGH THE HEADPHONES IN A HEAD HT 5MKII?AND WHAT DOES IT CHANGE WITH NEW VERSION mkiii? I d like tò know if i can buy a head and listen without buying a CAPTOR for the load because i know tube amp broker themself .
I have a HT5R too, and I love the sound of it, especially with my REverendds plugged in it ! But I see now what seems to be an evolution of the HT5R, called HT5MkII : someone could tell me the difference please ?
I bought this last week and love it. It has a tad to much bass , Clean sounds great. I own a 11 guitars all sound great through it. The humbuckers give a great distortion on one voicing with the ISF feature in British. Great tones to be had and you could play all day long with the variant sounds from this we amp. I also have a joyo ultimate drive sounds great in the clean channel as does my HD500. Spoilt for choice to be honest cant get enuf of it Well Done black star but you could have made it a tad less bassy
@@davidmerlin3344 Not tried the DSL had Marshall amps before and to be honest was not overly impressed. The bass can be dialed out but not totally directly in.

I have to say playing though this amp I really enjoy playing and was torn between this or the fender bassbreaker. I went for this because of the gain was far better and sound great with pedal also
Maybe a little bit later, but try this. Turn your bass, mid and trebble all the way down. Then turn the knobs kiiiinda fast, in a speed where you can tell the difference on the sounds, there is going to be a clear difference, leave the knob right there and repeat that process with the rest.
Important!!!!!! I'm looking to press the buy button on the Thomann site to purchase this amp but... A. Looking at the pictures of the back side of amp, I can not see that it's a 12" speaker! B.what's more, in the description of the amp, it does not mention "ANY" speaker size!!!!!! Can you please confirm that it has a 12" speaker so I can feel at ease and make the order straight away!!!!! Thank you so much in advance!!!
I bought one last month and only use it on the 0.5 watt setting, and even then nowhere near flat out at home. It sounds excellent, and although I no longer play live I feel this amplifier is eminently gigable in small venues; massive ones if you have the PA.
I dunno. Loved the video. Went today to a shop expecting to buy one. Tried it out with my Reverend Club King and it sounded thin as hell. No body - no bass, like a toy. Effects are good but tone just wasn't there.
@Bobby Murphy From their ad copy: "The Blackstar HT-5R MkII is packed with a massive variety of tube tones by virtue of Blackstar’s Infinite Shape Feature (ISF). This exclusive feature shifts the EQ curves of the amplifier’s Bass, Middle, and Treble controls. When turned fully counterclockwise, you’ll lend an American characteristic to your voice with a tight bottom end and aggressive middle. Turned all the way to the right, you’ll enjoy more of a British vibe. "
@@jerryx2000 yeah they sound great, but $1399 new here, that puts it in like Hotrod Deluxe territory etc...so, not really sure if it could stack up to amps like that
We recommend an official Blackstar service centre to conduct any work like this. Every distributor around the world will have a list official service centres. You can find our global partners on our website.
See, this is the kind of amp I'd love to have in the living room but I'm hesitant to buy one because I've read too many reports of poor quality control and circuit design issues. Also, there's just so much STUFF on this amp. USB, cab emulator, multiple line and powered outputs... I've seen how many ICs are on this the board. What happens when one of them decides to die out of warranty? Am I looking at 5 hours of bench time? Are spare ICs even available? Blackstar's high-end stuff is great, but this built-to-a-price line triggers my risk aversion.
Blackstar, check your ad copy. This is not an HT-1. The clean sounds very nice. I owned an HT-1R and it had too little headroom, even for bedroom practice.
You'd hope so, if it was the main ad you were running on youtube to sell it. Many people have said that it sounds killer irl, so I think you'll be okay.
Now i have one of this and yes it is very good to apartment use. I can play in a low volume in the 0.5w mode like i used to play in my old yamaha thr but with a fuller sound and more headroom
@@IvancitoPayasito I sold my thr to buy the Blackstar. Usually i don't like digital builtin effects so for me that i have some pedals i prefer the Blackstar cause it sound like a real amp. The only problem is that i can only use Blackstar in 0.5w mode to get the hot valve sound in the same volume as THR, but i live in an apartment not house, so sometimes i think is too much amp for an apartment use only. No doubt that blackstar sound better than THR, much, much more in any channel, but for apartment use only THR is good enough if you want save some money. You need to try both to discover which one fit your needs better.
@@viniciusgusmao796 i have a moaning neighbour so i was thinking yamaha thr or ht1r and then i noticed the ht5r has a 0.5w mode but i was in doubt if the 0.5w mode would give you the full effect of the amp..so i was thinking the ht1r might be better for evening use...but now ive seen your comment of how it does work in 0.5w i may go with this because you have more control over the sound and i can use the 5w mode during the day
Ever noticed alot of these TH-cam videos. Who demo pedals guitar amps. They have a rank mount of effects.and state of the art recording. Then when U buy. U are sadly disappointed
Naja, für mich nicht sehr aussagekräftig. Klar die Tele und die Düsenberg klingen über den Amp fantastisch, aber für Spieler wie mich wäre hier eine Vorführung mit einer modernen Powerstrat oder zumindest ner fetten Les Paul wichtiger. Klar, bei Clean oder angecrunchten Sounds klingt der Amp klasse, aber wie klingt er wenn man die Vorstufe mal etwas kitzelt oder bis zum Anschlag ausreizt. Geht es bis Powermetal und darüber hinaus, oder ist bei Hard and Heavy schon Schluss, dadurch fehlt leider die Hälfte die für Spieler wie mich wichtig gewesen wäre.
Anyone know the power consumption of these amps? I'm probably going to be on battery power soon when traveling and couldn't figure it out. I am assuming it's not 5w of power draw. And does going to 0.5watts use less power? I figure it would, but never know :P
dunno why blackstar even bothered to make an HT metal series when the drive channel can get pretty heavy with the gain past noon or boosted by an OD pedal. actually, i do know: money.
yomuthabyotch the OG ht5s seemed to lack some that agressive bite the HT metal has I got the metal combo 4ish years back, it’s good.........if a little shrill, it’s done the job for a good while, but I’m either getting this ht5 or 20 for a warmer, fuller sound!

Love this so much. I just bought the amp. Now to build a warehouse to play in.
Is it too loud for playing in apartment?
have you bought the gitar and the cable?

This is what a review should be like. Excellent, and I decided to pull the trigger on this one today.

Put a pedal with volume control in the effects loop and here is your master volume. Best an EQ pedal to equalize those cleans.

Who is this guitar player? Like him !

Your mum's other son she been a groupie
That sounds F*CKING AWESOME. But I bet that big empty room with solid brick walls and excellent acoustics has a fair amount to do with it, right?
And the mic thru processing. And a 1400$ tele
you actually have to have talent to make any amp sound good.

Can confirm I play this with my Strat and it's the best ever.
@@peleproductions what is the best setting to have it on the edge of break up.
@@elvan12581 On the clean channel I think around 2/3 volume would do it. Also achievable on the gain channel if the gain is real low.

Would be a good small home amp. The clean sound is really good except it will fail like Blackstar stuff seems to always do. Mine did.
Just curious - will the TVP line get an update as well???
Really hope not. Had the 15 watter, and it was a truly awful amp. All the drive sounds were more transistory than a cheap transistor practice amp.
What model fender tele is that?
Is it an American/Mexican ?
It looks and sounds stunning.
I want one.
was also wondering whether it is a Mexican.... but the white binding. I'm afraid it is a 59 Reissue of 2018.... not a cheap guitar....
The ht5 the best amp Blackstar makes
fantastic.
Can I use the HT5-R Mkii head with headpones and no speaker cabine plugged in?
I have a HT5R too, and I love the sound of it, especially with my REverendds plugged in it ! But I see now what seems to be an evolution of the HT5R, called HT5MkII : someone could tell me the difference please ?
The MkII has Reverb which the MkI does not have. That is what I know. The headphone output on the MkII is at the back.
Will this have enough headroom to stay clean with humbuckers at moderate volume?
Got to swap tubes for EL34, change speaker for V30 then it rocks otherwise it's below par.
for what kind of music? blues? classic rock? metal? jazz? which please?
What kind of cable would I need for direct recording through the amp to my computer?
Bluto is a good player who knew
Cramming mic into the grill doesn't tell us how loud it will get....Place the mic back aways So we get a feel if this fit our situations...

The speaker crap .and all the outlets are Under neith. And sound fizzy. Way over rated. Worth no more than $300
Is there a metal demo?
dunno why blackstar even bothered to make an HT metal series when the drive channel can get pretty heavy with the gain past noon or boosted by an OD pedal.
actually, i do know: money.
yomuthabyotch the OG ht5s seemed to lack some that agressive bite the HT metal has
I got the metal combo 4ish years back, it’s good.........if a little shrill, it’s done the job for a good while, but I’m either getting this ht5 or 20 for a warmer, fuller sound!
