Product Overview
Blackstar HT-1R MKII Tube Combo Amp with Reverb (Bronco Gray) - HT1RMKIIBG
The Blackstar HT-1R MKII Tube Combo Amp takes this revered design a step further with incredible performance and game-changing new features from USB recording to foot-switchable voices.
Low Wattage Valve Goodness
The valve amps sound best when cranked. The unique feel, dynamics and natural compression of a valve power stage running hot are widely considered the holy grail of guitar tone. The HT-1R MKII with its unique push-pull power amp gives coveted valve performance at volumes suitable for home practice and recording.
Perfect for Practice and Recording
Alongside providing capture-ready valve tones at any volume, HT-1R MKII comes equipped with a direct USB output for the simplest way to get valve tone into your recordings without the need for an interface. These amps have in-built load protection, which means you can use them without a cabinet connected for silent practice and recording.
Patented ISF
The patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control is unique to Blackstar Amplification and represents a major step forward in tone shaping flexibility. The ISF control shifts the response of the three control tone stack between, a US type response at one end, and at the other, a UK type response. Importantly, in between the two extremes lie an infinite number of alternative tone choices that would be otherwise unavailable.
Studio Quality Reverb
The studio-quality reverb has been referenced against the most revered vintage and modern reverb units, designed to perfectly complement guitar tones.
Record without a Cabinet
The HT-1R MKII has in-built load protection, which means you can use the head for direct USB recording or headphone practice, without the need for a connected cabinet. The ultimate portable practice and recording rig.
Full Tone and Low Volumes
Featuring unique push-pull power amps, HT-1R MKII is designed to create a full sound even at the lowest of volumes, helping to create that sound in your head no matter the environment.
Stunning Looks
The compact cabinet has a 3-degree angle on the front face, top-loader panel and stage-friendly chickenhead knobs giving the HT-1R MKII a stunning boutique style.
