Blackheart BH-5H Little Giant 5-Watt Guitar Amp Head 2000s - Black
Our users rate Reverb
All-tube guitar amp head (one EL84, one 12ax7) in mint condition. Both tubes were replaced in February 2026. Excellent tones. Very dynamic & touch-responsive. Can get LOUD. Very reliable amp. Only selling because I already own another one (for the last 15 years!) and got this one in a recent trade. Shipping at buyer’s fee, or local pickup available. Feel free to message me for a more precise shipping quote based on your location.
Well known for:
- British-style breakup when pushed (thick mids & smooth highs: Vox/Marshall-ish midrange character);
- Excellent touch sensitivity;
- Taking pedals very well;
- Great clean tones;
- Strong power tube saturation at manageable volume thanks to the pentode/triode switch;
- Good platform for customization / modifications.
