Blackstar HT-5RH-MKIII Tube Amplifier
The HT-5RH MK III takes the revered design from the award-winning MkII series to new heights with incredible performance, gorgeous looks and game-changing new features from improved voicings to the addition of IR-based CabRig™ speaker simulator software.
Valve amps sound best when cranked; the unique feel, dynamics and natural compression of a valve power stage running hot is widely considered the holy grail of guitar tone. The problem is turning your 100W valve amp up to these volumes is neither practical for yourself, nor your neighbours. HT-5RH MK III, with its unique push-pull power amp, gives you this coveted valve performance at volumes suitable for home practice and recording.
The HT-5RH MK III has 2 channels, clean and overdrive, each with 2 voicing options. With HT-5RH MK III, each Voice switch introduces comprehensive circuit alterations in both the preamp and power amp to recreate authentic reference tones without compromise. This includes EQ voicing, tone stack position in the circuit, the gain, and power amp damping. Achieve diverse tonal options with the flick of a single switch!
Alongside providing capture-ready valve tones at any volume, the HT-5RH MK III comes equipped with a direct USB-C output which can send 2 channels (left and right) to your DAW, ensuring the easiest way to capture authentic valve tone in recordings without the need for an interface.
CabRig™, class-leading IR-based speaker simulator comes as standard in the HT-5RH MK III, offering hundreds of different cabinet, mic, and room combinations. Save your favourites to three presets for easy access directly from the amplifier. Get premium valve tones into your headphones, monitors and mixes.
