      I've been on my live tone search for about 5 years and I keep coming back to Blackstar. I've tried Marshall, Mesa, EVH, Peavey etc but I've come back to a stereo Series One setup (45 212 and 10AE 112 ). Nothing else has had the same amount of body without sounding boomy.
      This sounds awesome though too.

    The most important quality an amp must have is a pleasing clean sound. There are many ways to achieve distortion,but the first step is a good clean sound .This is where Blackstar amps are missing something.The low strings lack girth and presence,and the overall effect is somehow artificial and thin compared to the premier clean amps like Fender Twin and Dual Showman,and the original HiWatts.Even the Music Man amps with hybrid preamps had a superior clean tone to the supposed all tube Blackstar (bit of a misnomer).They have all the bells and whistles and no beef.

    The Blackstar Infinite Shape Feature (ISF), on the one side it's meant to be a British sound, the other, all American, in between is obviously a mix of the two.
    IMHO, Blacktar's HT Stage 100 can't be beaten (for us mere mortals, living on a living wage) and can be picked up second hand for a quite reasonable price. It's 7 valve monster and you can get any sound you like with it.
