The Blackstar HT-5R MK III combo amp delivers boutique tube tone in a portable package. Designed for practicing and gigging musicians, this 5W amp lets you achieve iconic valve overdrive and a shimmering clean channel. Its 12" speaker provides full low end, while the ECC83 and 12BH7 preamp and power tubes saturate your sound with harmonic richness.

Dial in Your Sound With Infinite Shape Feature

The HT-5R MK III's overdrive channel features Blackstar's Infinite Shape Feature, which lets you blend American and British tones to forge your signature sound. Turn the ISF control to the left for a tight, focused overdrive reminiscent of a boutique British stack. Turn it right for a looser, more mid-heavy sound in the style of a vintage American combo. The overdrive channel also provides a separate tone control to shape high end.

Gig or Practice With CabRig and Power Scaling

The HT-5R MK III is ideal for both rehearsing at home and performing live. Its CabRig impulse response technology emulates the sound of playing through a 4x12 cabinet, allowing direct recording or playing through a PA. For quiet practice, the power scaling feature reduces the amp's output to just .5W without changing the tone. The digital reverb adds ambience to both the clean and overdrive channels.

Edit and Store Tones With Blackstar Architect Software

Connect the HT-5R MK III to your computer using its USB output and Blackstar's free Architect software. Architect provides an interface to adjust amp parameters and save channel presets for quick recall. It also includes tools for updating the amp's firmware. With Architect, you can craft the perfect clean and overdrive tones, store them as presets and load them instantly at your next rehearsal or show.

From its rugged plywood cabinet to its premium ECC83 and 12BH7 valves, the HT-5R MKIII is built to withstand years of regular use.
