Revised and refined with Blackstar’s CabRig technology, the Blackstar HT-5R MK III combo is a fiery 5-watt powerhouse of tube-powered tone. This 1 x 12-inch combo amplifier boasts both a pristine clean channel and a high-octane overdrive channel to run the gamut of 6-string tones, with each channel featuring a dedicated 2-position Voice control to switch up your sound. Discerning tone chasers are thrilled by the HT-5R MK III’s comprehensive Overdrive channel control section, including a 3-band EQ and Blackstar’s proprietary ISF control to sweep from classic American-style grit to high-gain British mayhem. Next, the built-in power scaling functionality takes this 5-watt beast all the way down to 0.5 watts to deliver liquid overdrive and pummeling distortion at manageable volumes. Picky about your pedal placement? A powerful effects loop makes integrating your favorite stompboxes a breeze. Finally, the HT-5R MK III comes complete with a host of all-new enhancements, including a cutting-edge CabRig DSP simulation output (via 1/4-inch, XLR, or USB-C) and USB-C audio interface functionality, ensuring that the HT-5R MK III is just as capable in the studio as it is in the practice room.
