Blackstar HT1 - R Demo With Gibson Les Paul Standard

[EvilLamas]

Would this take a wah pedal?

It's the only effect I'm really intrested in, but if it can't I might not get one:(

@EvilLamas

If you watch the video there is a demonstration with wah at 9:20

[EvilLamas]

@chooseyourblues ah thanks!

Looks like I'll be buying this amp!

[slaytallimaiden]

does it reacts perfect with stompboxes???

you know the pedals wich you can stomp on :p

i gues i dont need an overdrive or metalpedal with this amp

but i mean stompboxes like phaser,chorus,tremollo,flanger

and al these effect pedals

does it react perfect?????

please answer :)

@slaytallimaiden

To be honest I wouldn't imagine it working that great with a bunch of pedals. There is no loop so putting delay / chorus etc in front of an overdriving amp like this would sound bad in my opinion. Then again I'm not a big effects guy.

[callumazoo11]

so this works with pedals?



[chooseyourblues]

@callumazoo11

I guess one would have to ask, 'What type of pedals?'

If you are talking modulation type effects I think it would struggle as there is no loop and things get dirty pretty quickly. Any In-Line pedals I would imagine would all do well. However there is all the gain you need on tap. I wouldn't think you would need a OD or a Tubescreamer.

i just got one it;s great but it hums a bit , is this common or have i got a duffer , i mean HUMS

[chooseyourblues]

@twelvemeister

depends on the settings on the amp. If I turn the gain up all the way on the od channel there is some hum but it wouldn't put me off. To be honest I wouldn't have the gain up all the way anyway. If you are unsure take it back to the store and try another.

Sounds killer! My only doubt is to get a clean tone with good volume.... i know tha isn´t the spot of this amp the clean tone... is imposible to get an amp with perfect clean, cruch and distortion tone... great review!!! congrats

@strum4tone

Thanks man, I appreciate that.

[nangatron80]

Awesome review - best I've seen on YouTube!

btw can you get a decent Slash AFD tone from this amp? I was hoping for some slash riffs when you clicked on the wah :)

[chooseyourblues]

@nangatron80

Thanks for the kind comments. You got me thinking... I would wager a bet that you could get any sound out of this amp from 60's right up to today.

In fact I'll upload a video of this amp taking it from the 1960's to today using a few different guitars. I'll try to throw in some appetite stuff! LOL.

[nangatron80]

@chooseyourblues That would be great! You've almost convinved me to sell my Marshall Haze 15 and go for a HT1R... My Haze is way too loud to only use at home and just can't get enough gain out of it for an AFD tone. My only worry is that 1 watt would not be loud enough!

Man, for $250 (US) you can't go wrong!

[gerbilho]

great demo! now I know this can do blues too...
