Blackstar's new HT-METAL pedal for NAMM 2012. Demo by Andy James

[AaronHorst93]

i have a blackstar ht club 40 will this pedal give me much more distortion than the amp when the gain is full with no pedal?

[LBDIED]

1:20 to 2:00 sounds like an In Flames song

[Vitneed]

@LBDIED can you tell which one??

[dpkdani]

hi when will be the release date of this pedal to buy the representatives? I look back I am here in Brazil

[iwannarockon2010]

WAY FCKN BRUTAL \m/

[MuckersGtr]

Is this just a Ht-Dual with a ton more gain on tap (by no means a bad thing!) or is it voiced differently as well to suit specifically metal stuff?

[GuitarMan0704]

'Sings like a blackbird,

kicks like a mule'

Epic :D

[jackakaemo]

FUCK this is more expensive then the fucking HT-1 combo LOLOLOL ... Fuck my life... ='(

[zachstarcher]

Its a bald Zakk Wylde.

[Mrguitars1000]

@zachstarcher except better

[muhjum]

What is the difference between HT-Metal and the HT-Dual. What do you guys recommend, I play in a Death metal band, but I also play in a coverband where we play at weddings at stuff. I really want a decent pedal that does it all. Any suggestions? It`s gonna be pedal from Blackstar, but havn`t decided yet witch one

[jesusgnr12]

This pedal sounds pretty f*ckin' good! I was thinking of buying the Dist-X later on, but now I'm considering this one as well. So much gear, so little money : /

[grungeboy31]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

[bille77]

Is it good for classic Jazz?

[PoetryEmotion94]

the Prog Metal setting sounds like Veil Of Maya's tone. nice !

[Vergucci]

2:05 is it me or it just has some sort of Pull me Under influence? In fact even the solo sounds like Petrucci!!!! AWESOME!

[iPR0SH0T]

@Vergucci he plays a similar lick from the caught in a web solo as well

[crate718]

I am a proad owner of the blackstar distx, I just wondering is the ht-metal have the same tone as distx???

[noobcakepwner]

When does this come out and when it does how much is it going to cost?

[jagstang4ever]

oh ja bald bist du mein^^

[mingoos4294]

Is this pedal good for metal???

[Bj0RNare]

@mingoos4294 no, for jazz.

[PoetryEmotion94]

@mingoos4294 no its good for the shower heater. Of course its good for metal bro !!

[beniunderwood]

Awesome - although Andy James could play an over-ripe pineapple and make it sound metal.

[lumpydumpy]

what song are you plaing at 1:30 ?

[anjoesatriani]

Nice sound and good demo by Andy James, this pedal slightly sounds like BOSS MT-2

[givemeajackson]

@anjoesatriani that was an insult to the pedal...

[defponys]

@anjoesatriani are you crazy man?? i have a MT-2...it's cool, but a fuckin bee i have to admit....but this pedal is BRUTAL...the best i've heard

[MADMIKE888]

Ah... but what does it sound like when a Human being plays the guitar?

[V3N0M3333]

Andy James is fuckin beast!!! Blackstar couldnt have found a better person to show off their stuff

\m/-(*0*)-\m/

[odgeUK]

Is this basically the Gus-G Blackstar HT-Blackfire in a non-limited edition release?

[emptysoul189]

holy shit this is fucking sik

[lawdaggerdumal]

I need this pedal, you do deliveries in Brazil?

[ChunMusicStudio]

i think is the same with the blackfire . but cheaper !!!

[theultimaterockr]

THAT SOUNDS SOOOO SICK

[foreverjimmy]

is this a high gain , noisy version of ht-dual ? btw sound great

[guitarDouchebaggery]

Andy is amazing

[mimrod]

I want it! Love Andys playing.

[godofduck]

Not much use if they don't let us hear the amp with the pedal off.

[pvgroup]

@godofduck Amp on Clean Channel,perhaps some slight bass and there you go. This is the sound of the pedal.I am using their stuff both on tour and on studio and THIS is what you get.Awesome!

[LuixmyDarkness]

@godofduck The amp is in clean mode with a flat EQ.

[dibi23101990]

Definitly by far the best metal distortion pedal on the market !

[naochiMalmsteen]

PULL ME UNDER..........PULL ME UNDER I'M NOT AFRAID~

[fortworthuk]

FILTH!!



[thefr00bstv]

whats the price range for this badass S.O.B.? :)

[c4tze]

nice testament attempt hahahahahahah

[ShredReviews]

I approve to the extent I am now moist.

Gief!!

[djhawkster]

Wish they'd also demo with passive pickups.

[hellview666]

A less muddy, tightwr, 2-channel HT-DistX? I love it!

[darkthrone07]

Is the pedal connected in front of the amp? or is it running on the FX-Loop? my ears just bled!! i think im gonna RMA my pisdiyauwot pedal that i ordered a few days ago >.<

[DJWhoot]

@darkthrone07 Looks like it's going straight into the 'bright clean' channel mate. Think you tend to put delay via fx loop (which is usually at the back of the head) but distortion up front (and i'm sure someone will correct me!). Sounds Awesome.

[DjentleDjiant]

Can count on Andy James to always to a great demo!
