Generally, if an amp sounds like shit clean, no amount of pedals is going to make anything happen. Get something that has something to it when you play clean and it will sound great when you plug in your pedals. My next purchase is going to be blackheart. As far as I can see and hear, there is no better bang for the buck anywhere else.
Yes, I like Class A concept of Valve Jr., a little muddy though, I like EQ on this and speaker sound. I have the epi. I want something like this that takes pedals well, I have a lot of pedals.
that thing really honks..!!..I have the crate vc 20...sounds different from this..but just as cool..we live in a good time...20 yrs ago amps that sound this good were expensive and hard to find...!!..this stuff makes me want a tele..!!
@ EMGlespaulMESA Hey my man - take your Blackstar and turn the volume all the way up and the gain all the way down on both over drive channels . . . then bring the gain up just a little . . . you will have all the "bite" you need. I do this with the Blackstar dual tube preamp/pedal I am assuming you can get a similar tone from the amp itself; let me know if this works.
hey i sold this amp and bought the blackstar ht-5. now i kinda regret it. this amp has much more "bite". although for hard rock/metal the blackstar will eat this amp up. but for marshall crunch this amp takes it. wich is ironic considering blackstar was started by disgruntled marshall engineers. none the less great demo. nice audio.
it is a great little combo...loud as heck and takes any pedal you threow at it really well...i put a demo of it up using a boss ds 1 just as a boost...but killer little amp..
Man, that amp(and playing) sound GREAT! I know how these little amps work....very bright and raw. That's why so many guys end up getting something else. Usually something that "smooths" out their tone "for 'em" because they lack it in their hands. But the trick is....if you can learn to play with a raw open sound...and fatten it up with your hands....you can clean/clear it up with those same hands in a millisecond with your touch. Looks like a good "grab and go" jam amp to me:) IMHO
Best thing I ever bought for 200 bucks was an all-tube OD pedal. Now every amp I own can be a 3 channel gain monster, but without a single solid state gain stage in the signal path. I have the SD twin tube classic (the mayhem and the blue both have an SS input stage, classic is all-tube) but the effectrode pedals are great too. It's like putting a JCM800's preamp section in front of your vox, fender, crate, or whatever. Old tube phono preamps work too.
The blackheart amps actually do have crate written right on the front panel, crate is a subsidiary of loud technologies, but blackheart is a division of crate. However, that means jack shit to me, the V18 I had before I got my classic 30 was one of the sweetest amps I ever put a pair of bugle boys in. The name means nothing, especially if you know your way around the NOS tube market and know how to build your own cabinets out of solid hardwoods, with vintage jensens!
Most any, no frills vintage style tube amp loaded with stock tubes will leave alot to be desired tonewise! a tube amp such as this requires, good tubes, a good guitar and pickups, good pedals. (EQ) These amps sound totally killer in the right hands! It IS a vintage style amp with a (almost) pure clean signal path.
Having no master volume means to have to blast it to get any good tube tones outta this thing!
Wonder why you haven't see these for sale at the local guitar center or Sam Ash stores? It's because they are all about HYPE and MARKETING!
Save your cash and get a tube amp with a master volume... They guy that bought mine sold it a week later...not because it was bad..because he thought the same thing I did...too much hype for what it delivers!
All ready tried the Bitmo 10-nuator...It sucked too!
As far as other mods go...why the hell would I want to buy an amp for what it "could" be instead of what it actually is?
The BEST thing to do is go try one of these amps for YOURSELF! I think that 95% of everyone reading this will agree with my comments if they actually OWNED one and spent some hours with it...
it was probably not meant for people who can only play at bedroom volumes. it was not meant to have a master volume, just 1 volume like a plexi. you still have to crank master volume amps to get power tube saturation anyway, but hey, if you like it you like it, if you don't you don't
What? NO....I sold it because I was DISAPPOINTED! Face it, nobody wants to say "I got a new amp...i guess it's OK, but with a shit load of mods it can sound good..." GIVE ME A BREAK! I sold it on Craigslist over 6 months ago and it has had 3 more owners since I owned it.....stop and think for a moment...that in itself has GOT to tell you something.
kk chill, i was just picking up on when you said "sold it a week later...not because it was bad..because he thought the same thing I did...too much hype for what it delivers! "
you were saying him (and you) sold it because there was too much hype not because it was bad.
anyway tone is all subjective, what 1 person hates another loves
I own this amp. Always thought it was 'harsh' sounding and never was totally happy with it. Considered shelling out $200 for the Allen Mod but am just going to sell it. Have a '62 Fender Bassman that is just too good. The Blackheart is loud though and you can get some nice variety of (albeit harsh) tones. Good value for the $ and customizable.
well im usually a drummer and don't much about amps and im just looking for something to mess around on and learn to play the guitar maybe jam with some friends should i save money to wait and get the bh15h? Is it much better as far as loudness goes or can you just get more tone from it. I dont need anything with pro tone since i will mostly likely not be giging with it, so should I just save a $100 and get the 5 watt or should I just wait to get the 15watt? Im using a S-S-H set up guitar
This combo amp sounds soo much better than other ones. My name is Britany Kleckner. I get good grades, and my parents give me 10 dollars each week. So in two months i will be able to afford your guitar and amp :)
That's because your bassist is running through a 30 watt cube. That really isn't very much of an amp for a bass player. I played the black heart with a couple guys until we got a drummer. Needless to say I bought a Fender hotrod deville the next day. It's a great practice amp but I haven't even touched it since I got the Fender. Let alone the tone quality.

man that sounds great... and a hell of alot cheaper then that deluxe iv had my ears on for about 2 years, i think im going to try one of these out. What do u think of that 112 cab, or would i just be better off just getting the head and a 212 carvin cab or something similer?
Are you splitting semantic hairs or are you not aware that the Crate name/logo appears on the front of BH amps? These things are openly marketed as being 'by Crate.'
You can get get a good distortion with the Ibanez TS9 or even the cheap plastic Ibanez TS5. I own both and they both give a good distortion with the blackheart.
1) It's best if you turn on the standby first to let the tubes warm up and then the power button, then turn off the standby so you don't get that "pop" sound frm the speakers.
2)No it doesn't damage it, you'll just get natural distortion
Uhm, you first set the power switch to "on", and let the standby switch stay on "standby" for a while before you set it to "on". When you want to turn it off, you set the standby switch back to "standby", and wait for a short period before you set the power switch to "off".
sorry dude but it isnt. especially in metal you need to be loud cuz u wont over hear urself over the drums. UR drummer must be ridiculous. must play with paper drums
noo..solid state amps are generally cheaper..they may last longer because they dont have tubes that can break. but their tone isnt as pristine and clear as tubes.
tube amps are gereally more expensive than solid state and have a much better tone. but they might break because of the tubes, which can be fixed by buying another tube.
just cuz tube amps r better doesent mean that all solid states suck.. and i prefer the ones with tubes so far as they are very cheap.. altough i found for about 400 Bucks here in norway a morgan GX60R with tubes and so maybe ill get that

LOL!!! Again...I mean shit to you and yet you keep coming back for more. You can't away. You're obsessed with me as are these other couple of nerds.
Tell me, Einstein...what boasts did I make? I can tell you what boasts you made. You're just a jealous twit with an anger problem. Go wipe your ass or something.

You keep on telling us to get girlfriends when you don't even know if we already have one. Some of us might be married, or single. You don't have to make us talk about our personal lives.

blackheart isn't by crate as you said in the beginning . . .

Are you splitting semantic hairs or are you not aware that the Crate name/logo appears on the front of BH amps? These things are openly marketed as being 'by Crate.'

Whould you be able to get a good distortion with some sort of pedal even at low sound levels?

You can get get a good distortion with the Ibanez TS9 or even the cheap plastic Ibanez TS5. I own both and they both give a good distortion with the blackheart.

Solid state means that the circuit uses transistors. A tube amp has vaccuum tubes and has a much warmer, responsive tone.

alanadamjanelt 3 years ago
does anyone know if..
1.) If you have to put power on without standy first, then turn on standby to keep the tubes safe?
2.) If turning up volume on a tube combo amp damages it?
nanopod1234 3 years ago
1) It's best if you turn on the standby first to let the tubes warm up and then the power button, then turn off the standby so you don't get that "pop" sound frm the speakers.
2)No it doesn't damage it, you'll just get natural distortion
Manu9078 3 years ago
Uhm, you first set the power switch to "on", and let the standby switch stay on "standby" for a while before you set it to "on". When you want to turn it off, you set the standby switch back to "standby", and wait for a short period before you set the power switch to "off".

Man, you people must play with RIDICULOUS drummers.
As far as I'm concerned, if 15w-30w isn't loud enough to compete with your drummer, you need a new drummer, not a new amp. =P

isnt tube amps more for like.. blues, classic rock, hard rock and so? i dunno but i just wondered
Residentevilrox 3 years ago
noo..solid state amps are generally cheaper..they may last longer because they dont have tubes that can break. but their tone isnt as pristine and clear as tubes.
tube amps are gereally more expensive than solid state and have a much better tone. but they might break because of the tubes, which can be fixed by buying another tube.

just cuz tube amps r better doesent mean that all solid states suck.. and i prefer the ones with tubes so far as they are very cheap.. altough i found for about 400 Bucks here in norway a morgan GX60R with tubes and so maybe ill get that
