The Ultimate First Tube Amp - 175 (Custom Upgraded & Multi-Voiced)

Looking to step up from a cheap, digital starter amp into the world of REAL vacuum tubes? Don't buy a standard, factory "one-trick pony" box. This heavily customized Blackstar HT-1R MkII 1-Watt tube combo has been completely rebuilt and hot-rodded into a universal tone monster.

At 1-watt, you get beautiful, organic tube saturation and distortion at bedroom-friendly volumes that won't get the cops called on your house.

From SRV to Ola Englund:

Because of the custom 3-Way Voicing switch I engineered into the preamp circuit, this amp does it all. You can pull off legendary, smoky Stevie Ray Vaughan blues tones on one setting, and flick the switch to dial in brutal, tight, chugging Ola Englund-style metal on the next.

Premium Custom Modifications & Upgrades:

- Orange "Voice of the World" Speaker: Ripped out the tiny, buzzy factory speaker and upgraded to a premium Orange speaker. This gives the amp massive punch, thick low-end, and the projection of a huge cabinet.

- Custom 3-Way Voicing Toggle & Pot: Replaced a bad internal reverb chip with a custom Mid/Bright Voice control layout. It completely lifts the "factory blanket" off the amp for wide-open, highly articulate tone.With the LSO knob and the voice control and mid switch your tone options are endless ,

- Custom Fly-Wired Input Jack: The original factory PCB input section was completely shot, so it was bypassed and custom fly-wired with a robust, heavy-duty independent input jack for rock-solid reliability.

- Brand New Tubes: Fully serviced
