Blackstar HT-1R MK3 1 Watt Tube Amplifier Combo New | In Stock

The HT-1R MK III is the perfect studio and practice amp, packing the great tone and innovative features of the HT Venue MK III range into a 1 Watt format. The patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) circuit gives you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control network and takes you from the USA to the UK and anywhere in between. So you can effectively design your own tone and tune it to find ‘the sound in your head’. 

Following in the footsteps of the original HT-1 and HT-1R MK II, the HT-1R MK III is also designed to be ideally suited to home and studio use. This is a valve amp that sounds full and tuneful even at the lowest volume level, using the proven valve amplifier topology used in the original. This is a low powered push-pull design which produces the crunch and break-up characteristics of a traditional 100W output stage, but at much lower volume. This is achieved by the use of an ECC82 dual triode in push-pull configuration producing 1 Watt output, which is rich in valve harmonics and compression. 

Along with the Channel switch, the HT-1R MK III also includes a Voice switch. The combination of these allows the user to access two different clean sounds and two overdrive sounds, therefore making this product amazingly versatile. 

The reverb decay times can also be adjusted differently for each channel by connecting via USB to Blackstar’s proprietary Architect software. Architect software also allows extensive control of CabRig parameters for power amp/speaker/cabinet/mic/room emulations from the USB and stereo headphone/line outputs, for practicing, recording and live use. 

Add to this a Line Input, along with a 4-16Ω speaker output which allows you to run the amp into an external speaker cabinet of your choice, and you have everything you need for recording or practicing.
