Blackstar ht5 every time. It's more versatile, has a better high gain tone and looks sexy as hell. I have the ministack and it pwns

Seems Kenny Rogers found a new job, good for him.

@saintofbladez doubt it..

[saintofbladez]

Is the head version of this loud enough for small gigs?

[londonkol]

@nikolajhansen15 it's great for anything really.. i have even played a gig with it :P but what really matters is your pedals.. but there is an extremely high gain channel on this one (compared to other amps), and if you use that it's basically good for anything, but you wont be able to play like metal or anything, but on the gain channel it's great for ac/dc and stuff.. you would have to have a pedal set for playing van halen and stuff like that though...

@prabowoputra what sounds better to you ? do you gig ? which is more versatile for your needs ? which do you think is nicer to look at ? what is your gut instinct ?...rob doesnt answer these questions anymore :L

Hi rob, between this and the cube 80 x, which one do you think is a better purchase and why?

[steamyafrican1988]

Is it loud enough for a jam with a drummer/ bass player?

[buckachiddy]

I bought a HT-5 yesterday for home use - it's without doubt. in my opinion, the best combo I've ever had and that would extend to the MESA/Boogie Rectoverb combo which this amp does an incredible impression of for 1/5th of the price. You can't judge an amplifier's sound from a camcorder video, so check one out yourselves before giving an opinion.
