I used, on the HT100 mk I, OD 1 for leads and OD 2 for Rythms (both boosted) . The power crapped out on my pedal board and did the whole show plugged straight in and the live recordings were more amazing then with my pedals!
I think Dagan needs to do a guitar clinic tour of the us. I would def go to one lol I dont even care what its about cause would be worth it just to meet the guy. Love the Blackstars though. Def ya get tons of amp for the money and its all good.
Do these have reactive loads built in same as the St. James series? so that you can use the head itself for recording etc. without having to have the cab connected?
I am on the fence about getting a Blackstar . My local Big Box guitar store just started to sell them in the fall of 2023 and aways wanted to try BlackStar but they were not available in my area. I have a 5 watt and 40 watt Marshall and looking for a diffetent flavor and more tonal variety but dont want to spend big money on a Fender or Messa and dont care for Hughes and Kettner or orange or Traynor Etc . My local shop doesn't carry Bogner or Soldano ENGL Etc. So Blackstar is the only real option . I tried some Fender Bassbreakers and they sounded pretty decent and even bought a limited edtion Bassbreaker 15 with a Creamback M and loved out but returned it because like all the others it was very noisy. The BlackStars are right at the price point I'm willing to spend on and the Blackstars have the specs and features i want and i have several different cabs i can pair with the Blackstars with and a good variety of Speaker options and speaker combinations . I want a darker sounding alternative to my Marshalls and the Blackstar seem fatter warmer with more Sag and less open than my Marshalls but after watching many demos I'm worried they might be too dark .i hear a lack of upper midrange cut and less of that ringing quality . I also hear way more bass than i would like . There is a alot of lower midrange which i love and is the thing i like the most about the Blackstar sound but i don't like all that bass as it does not suit my Playing style. I fear it cant be dialed out Sufficiently for my tastes. All of my speakers have robust low end with the exception of the G12M25 Greenbacks which are hardly low end deficient but have alot less than all my other speakers .
I was intrigued to see if these are also super light, like the Blackstar St James amps - turns out they're not, which is a real shame, as that would be the icing on the cake. I wonder why having put all that R and D in to the St James amps to create what they call the lightest tube amps on the planet, they don't make that a standard USP across their entire range? Is the use of a Switched-Mode Power Supply, which is what makes the St James so light limited in terms of how many valves an amp has, I wonder?
Is the HT-20RH MkII head being phased out??? I hope not. It's a great amp, but I guess in theory, you could use the 50W Mk III in 5W mode for the same situation. I just think the 20 is a great all-around amp good for practicing, recording, or gigging, and it takes overdrive pedals well!
I wonder how these would do for the progressive metal and metal core sound I'm assuming a good boost or ts pedal would help tighten things up but I'm just curious of that and how it might sound worth extended range guitars like 7 strings. Love dagan
dont know why , dagan guitar playing always remind me that luna sea guitarist sugizo, i dont know why, maybe his right hand or style, i dont know ,i just cant explains why .
I hate EL84 tubes I am a 6L6 guy would definitely want to replace the power tubes but don't think it would be worth it, the voicing of the amp is not designed for 6L6 tubes I'll pass on this amp.
I watched Pete Thorn’s review earlier, and was impressed by how classic Vox like he got the amp to sound. An extremely versatile amp.
My new mkiii just arrived absolutely awesome amp I could not be happier , top work blackstar
I’m a simple man , I see Dagan’s in the video and I press like 👍
It's the chemistry !!
Me too
I just ordered that SG you have chilling in the background. I'm freaking stoked
That's Dagan personal SG, so hopefully not exact one! 😂
I own a few blaskstar amps and I love them all! really great amps hands down in my opinion.
Love them!! I have the HT stage 60 combo MKi & the TVP 60 , I'm thinking I'm buying a new Blackstar HT Stage 60 MKiii !!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
wow!! Blackstar products are VFM! I wish I could buy them all!
Great playing here! Enjoyed it!
Great Show, nothing better to get the
blood pumping !
These sound amazing!
Dagen, Amps, I'm in.
🤘⚡️
Dagan rocks so hard his guitars suffer 😮. Good job man keep it up!
Just ordered the stage 100 mk3 punk all dayyyyy❤
Great review ,great sounding amp . Most importantly does Dagan have any albums or EP 's out available

I have a HT Stage 60 212 MkI and sounds great for the money
Sheez!! This guy is a ringer!! I'm new to the channel.
Nice! I'm interested in the Blackstar HTV-412B MK III cab, any idea on what they're like? Construction etc?
Another "dagan on his Happy place" video 🔥👍
This sounds killer wow!

I love you man !

torn between these new blackstar and the marshall studio sv , any opinions would be appreciated 🤟😎🎸
Depends what tones you're wanting! The Blackstars are quite a bit more versatile.
Great demonstration. Does anyone know the riff Dagan plays at 0:50?
I'm looking for that riff too. Did you find anything?
Sounds like Iron Maiden to me
Or Priest
Shared EQ for the two distortion channels is absolutely ridiculous.
That’s why I might honestly go with the 40 watt mkiii combo! U can just use an ts808 to boost od1 for that heavier stuff
I’m not implying anything here at all about Blackstar. They’re great! But Dagan Wilkin is so good he could sell a Line 6 Spider to Glenn Fricker.
Muy bonita guitarra que modelo es?
Does a speaker need to be connected to use USB or Cab Rig?
I don’t think so…. I believe you put it on stand by to circumvent speaker while in output modes
Another thing that I found annoying is the drop in volume when switching between the voicings
Damn the ht stage is better option 😅u get extra channels for maybe 100 bucks more
Where is the amp manufactured ?
dont know why , dagan guitar playing always remind me that luna sea guitarist sugizo, i dont know why, maybe his right hand or style, i dont know ,i just cant explains why .
1/3 to 1/2 cheaper than the Almighty Deizel 100 watt head.
I've always found the HT amps to be very sterile and 'Mosfet' sounding. They just don't have the sonic wallop of a full valve amp.
Like a Silver Jubilee you mean?
He does get exited doesn't he
He’s leaving?
_"Aitch!"_ It's "aitch", not "haitch".
Hayyttchhhhh 🤌
It’s gotta be haitch, it’s got an aitch in it so haitch HAS to be correct!
Will never buy new, just don't hold any value at all
Blackstar should bring the HT METAL back
You can get all the metal tones you'd ever need need out of these HT Venue MK3 amps! 🤘
I hate EL84 tubes I am a 6L6 guy would definitely want to replace the power tubes but don't think it would be worth it, the voicing of the amp is not designed for 6L6 tubes I'll pass on this amp.
