 Guys, I'm Toby Lee and I'm here at Blackstar to show you some of my favourite tones that I can get out of my HT20. And it's so versatile, you can have clean tones and distortion tones but you can really clean it up, it cleans up really really well. So I thought I would take you through some of the tones I can get out of it. This is one of my favourites, I love the clean tone because it's so rich and warm and I just love it, especially with the reverb up because the reverb is amazing on these amps. So this is my favourite, I'm just going through my 335 on the neck pickup and it's my favourite sound I think because it's just really warm and lovely, so yeah, there it is. I love that warm clean tone because it's just so pure and lovely and then with the voice setting it's really nice because it's still the lovely warm tone but you still get a little bit of distortion out of it which works really well on the bridge pickup of this because it just distorts it even more and so this is what you can kind of get out of it without moving to a distortion channel. So you see it gives it that kind of lovely 70s crunch sound that I really like because it's not too distorted but it's just got that little breakthrough of crunch and then when you move on to the distortion channel it really really gets amazing because most distortions that I've tried through amps, I've found my favourite now because it's with this but some of the distortions I've tried are really really fuzzy and a bit too tinny but this one still has the warm clean sound of the kind of clean channel but with distortion which is amazing which I haven't found before but now I've found it I'm completely obsessed and so I think you'll see what I mean. So this is with the neck pickup and then I'll kind of move to the bridge but because the bridge is quite amazing but this is the neck pickup. So there's your neck pickup sound but when you move on to the bridge this is when it gets amazing. Is the sounds you can get out of this absolutely amazing amp? As some of you know I do a jam every Sunday my Sunday jams and I've been doing them for about four and a half years so far and I don't think I've missed one. I've been doing them for quite a while now so I can't actually remember but I've been using this amp on them for the last few months and it's really really good because with me I find a tone that I absolutely love and work everything around it and I use that tone as well but I kind of use the guitar to change like the settings kind of like with the tone and the volume and the amp cleans up really really nicely so I'll give you a little example I'm on the distortion channel now no voice just the distortion channel and I'll put it on like 10 on my guitar and you'll you'll see it's kind of like a normal distortion but then if I move that down to say like a four I get a bit of a crunch like a four four and a half it kind of halves the distortion which is really nice and then if I move that down to like a two two and a half the amp just cleans up so so nicely so this is like a two and a half so you go so as you can see I'm still on the distortion channel on my foot switch and obviously still on the amp but by kind of playing around with the volume and the tone you can get like if I use the tone now you can get like a really flat kind of cream crossroads kind of sound you've got here so you can just really play around with it and you can get loads of different sounds and that's why I love it so this is how I have the knobs on the amp set for this particular tone and so me personally I absolutely love reverb because it just makes even though the amp has the warm sound anyway it just makes it a lot fuller and I just really really like reverb so as you can see I have my reverb on like a nine and a half so yeah I love reverb and yeah I have my ISF just before twelve o'clock because it kind of gives you the best of both worlds and it just I know I just love it at that kind of setting because it just gives me the best of both worlds and I like that I don't always have too much treble because I don't want it to be too tinny because I love warm tones and I don't like ruining the warm tone that this has by putting too much treble on it so I have that just a bit over one o'clock which I like I never have too much bass because otherwise with this guitar when I hit if I put that on like full when I hit this wet with my Sunday jams we have the Volkswagen bus on the back of the wall and if I have too much bass that starts rattling so I never put too much bass on it because if I was at home right now doing that the bus would be very very rattling and so I don't put too much bass on for that reason and because I kind of it might it really vibrates the surroundings and the guitar and it kind of puts me off a bit so I have a little bit but not too much for overdrive I have not too much gain because this is a hollow body and most of you will know that a hollow body goes quite like buzzy and it howls in not a necessarily good way when it has too much gain so I have just about one o'clock of that because I don't really I don't really need too much gain either because I get it out the guitar and I also kind of play around with the volume on the amp to get a bit more of a crunch out of that with my clean I have quite a lot of tone because I feel that it adds to it in a very nice way and then I've not done my volumes very well but it's quite nice because I've set it so it's kind of like the same level for clean and distortion which which is good when you're changing mid solo or mid song which is brilliant so I that's that's my settings on my Blackstar HD 20
