Great demo & playing also ! I bought one a year ago , I love it , crystal clear tube amp tones & it easily gets raunchy Marshall tones or those gritty Fender tones ! Thanks for your expert demo and playing . Cheers !
Before deciding I had my eye on the boss next tone, but I wanted to have a tube. A few years ago I heard an ENGL and I never forgot that warm and distorted sound, in a good way. What made you change?
@@miguelgateira4070 Was actually nothing to do with the amp. Bought it through Guitar center brand new and got a used one with no foot pedal. Contacted their customer service and they sent me out another foot pedal that was also very used and couldn't make enough contact through the jack to be able to switch between the clean and over-driven sides. I fell in love with the clean sounds from Blackstar's demos on TH-cam. Since I already had an AC10 it pushed me towards a 6L6, 6V6 or EL34 style amp. That's where the Nextone came in. Got enough of a discount to pay for a speaker upgrade and my addiction has been tamed for now lol.
How did I miss this one ? Oh boy. I’m gonna need a bigger house. This amp is fantastic!!! I loved all the tones and even the emulated line out sounded great. If my current amp goes I can definitely see my next amp. Well worth the price. Brilliant intro too Jon. Cheers 😀👍👍❤️
Try the new MKII version of that amp. I have had both and the MKII HT5 is so much better you won't believe it, 2 voices each channel and the clean is LOUD as in all 5 watts loud and pushes to a great crunch.
One of my big regrets in gear purchase is that didn’t spend the extra $100+ to get this amp rather than the HT 5R, which is a nice little amp but really nothing like this one in terms of headroom and versatility. And excellent playing, Jonathan! I’m a subscriber now just to hear you play whatever gear you’re talking about at the time.
Nice playing Jonathan! It's good to see you pair it with such a versitle guitar like the Comanche, both being sonic chameleons. In fact, I bet this amp/guitar combo and an HX effects would be a do-it-all dessert island rig.
I love mine! The 2 watt mode is killer and the global master volume helps you get a great sound in any room. I replaced the speaker with a Celestion V Type just my taste preference..Prefer this amp over my Marshall DSL and Fender Bluesbreaker.
Hey Mark, I just bought one and I’m waiting for delivery and I’m curious as to the specific reason the stock speaker wasn’t your thing - and you’re not the first person to mention this so it got me thinking. If you have a spare min and wouldn’t mind giving me some feedback/comparisons, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!And great video Jon!🤘
@@cgoebbert Its a wonderful do all amp and the stock speaker isn't bad at all, I just thought it a bit too much boom on the bass end. I have an 1x12 extra cab so I use that to experiment with different speakers for all my amps. I really like the Greenback and V Type both in this amp and I went with the V Type in the HT20 MKII and put the Greenback in my DSL 20....I am very happy with the tones I get from both amps now. If I could only have one amp, the HT20 MKII gets all the tones with that lovely 2 watt button for bedroom crunch. Hope that helps...
I got same one, cause collecting Blackstar amps, well even at 2W very loud, it might sound crazy but going to HT 60 with 2x12 or even the 200W head they made, these are more versatile and bedroom fiendly, btw i use the HT 5 mk2 as bedroom amp and OMG priced on these amps raised like hell in here Europe, seems like an investement :)
I let my new tube amps run for 24 hours when I first get them. Seems to help burn in the tubes a bit. Maybe helps melow out the sound a little? But, if you're going to have a problem, it shows up much quicker.

Very cool!
I just bought one of these on Amazon. The same amp in black is $679.00, the red one was $529.00.
I can't wait to get it!!!
Nice! ✌♥
I’ve got the HT5R for my apartment and it’s plenty! I love it!
Good choice!✌💚
I have the same amp in Trafalgar Blue and Cream cloth. Great amp. Thanks for all you do Jonathan!
nice! ✌💚
Bought a new one got sent a used one. Thoroughly enjoyed the time I had it. Ended up going with the Boss Nextone Artist. Great video! 🎸

Now you are helping me with AMPS! As always thanks for making my time at work fly.
My pleasure ✌️❤️
I got a blackstar id core 100 with the built in looper... that thing has an amazing sound.. never understood the blackstar amp hate.
nice!! ✌♥
Guitar players are a polarized bunch. PRS hate, Les Paul hate, Fender hate. For every player that hates something others would have nothing less
Love my 40 core and 100, although I'm trading my 100 for this, just loved the sound.

I still have my ht-5 mk1 I bought some time ago. For me it's still the best Marshall style amp for home use. Send my regards to Bruce ! 😁
lol Will do!✌💚

Wow.. cool!!!✌️❤️
Some tasty playing , I bought this amp used at Music Go Round , for a silly price .from cleans to overdrive and beyond , its a great amp
Nice ✌️❤️

Lovely solo’s!

I think the amp is good, your playing is better. Cheers Jonathan!
Thank you brother✌️❤️
Great review Jon, you are awesome ! Great versatile testing…new fan!
Welcome to the channel ✌️❤️
Good morning mr. Jo... Nice hat 👍... God bless you 🙏
Thank you✌️🤣
Just about to buy this amp, sounds amazing, especially clean. The only doubt is missing EQ on a clean channel...hmm...
✌🤓
I felt the same, but after I got my Ht 20 , I never missed more options in the clean channel especially if you use a couple of pedals with it
Excellent Sir.
Thank you ✌♥
You're like the best reviewer on YT man. And a fantastic player. Who would you say your influences are?
Lots of west coast musicians...✌💙

Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. I’ll have to listen for that w/ my guitars, pedals, etc. when it arrives next week.
🙏🎸
Love mine so far got it last month, I use a distortion pedal on the dirty channel, wow, awesome!
Have you ever compared this amp with Marshall DSL20CR combo? Thank you
No I have not

Yea prices have gone up 🥲
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Maybe you can do a review on this tiny one, it sounds so great, unbeliveble, Orange Micro Terror, all Orange tone at low price :)
I already did! th-cam.com/video/oZc95dJM9AA/w-d-xo.html & th-cam.com/video/bamC9Wwlei4/w-d-xo.html
Wondering how the HT 20 black star Compares with the Fender Supersonic 22 and can you big medium rooms with either one
I wouldn’t know ✌️❤️
Good video 👍
Glad you enjoyed✌💚
I was wondering how the Blackstar compares to the Laney Super Cub? Thanks.
Different amp class… ✌️❤️
Thanks for the demo thought it sounded good 👍how does it take peddles?
very well... ✌♥
I didn't see a mic in the video, so I assume that you recorded everything using the direct out. Which cabinet mode was selected?
I used both...A mic and the cab sim..I used the 4x12 cab sim
Brilliant my friend. I've still no amp. Hahah all preamps.
well...you're still young...lol✌💚
@@JonIsJustTooLoud yessir. 49 ...hahaha
I let my new tube amps run for 24 hours when I first get them. Seems to help burn in the tubes a bit. Maybe helps melow out the sound a little? But, if you're going to have a problem, it shows up much quicker.
Yes...i think it's good to "burn in" the tubes...
Thank you. I really like the option of having the lower wattage. I think my ears are getting old!
so are mine brother...lol
This and the other HT amps are almost perfect to me, 99% there, but the lack of EQ on the clean is a huge setback. 😢
Nobody should play on clean. Except Mark Knopfler and these new guitar emo prodigies
✌️❤️
i just bought this amp, and it has no sound. do you know what caused this?
Please Contact the shop that sold you the amp✌️❤️
Cant decide between this and the studio 6l6 🤷
Lol.., ✌️❤️
Is this better than marshall dsl
I don’t know.. have not played on one
