This has the be the best 1W amp thats currently out there, no?

[AndertonsMusic]

@Porly62 in a word? Yes.

[mgyouro]

While using the emulated output does signal still come from the speaker? or does it get cutoff like when you're using an extension cab.

[AndertonsMusic]

@mgyouro when using the speaker emulated line/headphone out the internal speaker is muted.

Hi I was thinking about picking this up soon to replace my crappy Line 6 15 watt. I have a few questions first. 1.) Will this end up being louder then my old 15 watt SS? I play in the local Jazz Band at my school which includes brass drums and 2 other guitarists. Would a Fender Super Champ XD be better? I really want a tube amp. Thank you so much

@ninjasRfunky I should think it will be about the same but should definitely be loud/quiet enough compared to a 15w SS. As for the Champ well the Blackstar and the Champ are very different beasts when it comes to tone, it's really down to what you want to use it most for. Decide where your priorities lie, the blackstar probably will not handle Jazz particularly well but I would urge you to decide based on what YOU really want it for.

Good job as usual with useful product demos. Got a HT-5 myself and its stunningly good for the money, May even go for a HT1-H sans verb just so i can push the output at full blast. Either the HT-5 or HT-1 are studio no-brainers

@klauswhitedreamer Thats right you can plug it into whatever you want
