Buy the Blackstar HT1 here.. http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Guitar-Amplifiers-and-Speakers/Compact-and-Pract...

A look at the stunning new Blackstar HT-1 1 Watt all valve practice amp !! Full valve tone at a volume and price we can all afford. Immediately goes to the top of our wish list. 2 channels , digital reverb, ISF, speaker output, headphones and a line input!!

Available as a combo with reverb, a combo without reverb and a 1 watt head with reverb !! How cool is that !!

The HT-1 is the perfect studio and practice amp, packing all the great tone and innovative features of the award-winning HT-5 valve amp into a 1 watt format.

The patent-applied-for ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) circuit gives you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control network and takes you from the USA to the UK and anywhere in between. So now you can effectively design your own tone and finally find 'the sound in your head'. In making the HT-1 ideally suited to home and studio use, the aim was to develop a valve amp which sounded full and toneful even at the lowest volume level.

With this in mind the Blackstar design team designed a brand new valve power amplifier topology. The HT-1 power amplifier is a low powered push-pull design which produces the crunch and break-up characteristics of a traditional 100W output stage but at a much lower volume. This is achieved by the use of an ECC82 dual triode in push-pull configuration producing 1 Watt output, which is rich in valve harmonics and compression.

The HT-1 also has a fully specified speaker emulated output which further enhances the studio credentials and allows any guitarist to get amazing valve tone straight to tape or disk, or through headphones. Add to this an MP3 / Line Input, along with an 8Ω speaker output which allows you to run the amp into an external speaker cabinet of your choice, and you have everything you need for recording or practicing.

  • hello, Blackstar!...

    I have just purchased the HT1 R combo, really great little amplifier, I am very happy with it , thank you!...

    I have a question : in the video preview it's been presented having the extension sockets for 8 ohms cabinets - mine came having written on it that it's impedance is between 4 - 16 ohms !.... that's means that I should have no headaches which cabinet I would use for the extension sockets?...!... :)

  • @klauswhitedreamer Yes, the HT1's can run ext cabs from 4- 16 ohms ( in fact the 8 ohms versions can too, they just reprinted the back panel)

  • I recently bought a Blackstar ht-1r amp together with a blackstar 1x12 cab.I noticed that the ohms on my amp is set at 8,while on the cabinet,its set at 16ohms. Would this be a problem? I noticed at the beginning of this video,you said that i can plug the amp. to either a 1x12,2x12 or even a 4x12. Can you please enlighten my mind on this? Cool demo BTW...Thanks!:-)

  • @johntreen101 Ok the spec's say 8 ohms but the teccy guys at Blackstar tell us it will work just fine with 4 or 16 ohms so plug away !!

see all

  • this is like aural sex...its bliss to my ears...i will buy this amp and since my 412 cab is a 8ohm cab, i can use it as my head... effin' right doggy ; )....this amp is beast....im buying for sure

  • @soaring138 82 as preamp and 83 as power amp.

  • will this work with distortion/effect pedals?

  • Great review, and a phenomenol amp. A telecaster would have been sweet. Jesus, fUkin les pauls. . just a barrage to mid-tone boringness.
