@hollandb21 I guess it depends on a lot of things, (style of music, loudness of drummer and bass player, size of rehearsal space etc)
It doesn't work for me under those circumstances, just not loud enough. It may keep up with a solid state amp but wattage figures between valve and solid state are notoriously mismatched
GReat it works for you, it still isn't loud enough for any of my bands I'm afraid (great practice amp though)

@C7ble I'm afraid i have to disagree with you there man, i agree the orange tiny terror probably would be better for the situation. but i've got this amp and i am running it through a Hayden 4x12. it is plenty loud enough to be played with a drummer and be heard. We've used it for both rhythm and lead and it's been as loud as our other guitarists 100w solid state at 80% volume

Nice Clip . . .Awesome sound.
I got my HT-5 for only $200.00
-
the blackstar has a tone of gain available- metallica uses them as practice amps
-
Hi, this amp has a SERIES effects loop, right? Thx
-
ok i gotcha thanks for the advice man
-
The Orange distortion is really nice but I also need a clean channel and it doesn't have an fx loop which I would need for delays.
If you play dirty most of the time and back off the volume on the guitar for a cleaner tone then the TT is the amp for you. This just isn't loud enough unless you mic it up

Go for the Orange Tiny terror then.
That's the one I lug to rehearsals when I can't be bothered taking the Marshall. The HT5 sounds great through my 4x12 but the 5w is never going to enough to drown out a drummer unless he is a mouse :)
I use the Tiny Terror and with the volume maxed out and the gain at about 11 o'clock I can get a clean sound that is loud enough. I feed that with the distortions from the Line6.
Do you agree that the blackstar has more gain than the TT?

yes although it depends how loud you drive it. At full volume the TT just about catches it. I would front end the TT with a tubescreamer if playing metal
