The best practice amp money can buy, May 23, 2010
This review is from: Blackstar Ht-5 Series Combo Amp
I walked into a music store to buy a strap, saw some guitars that I wanted to test so the shop owner let me use this amp. The sounds that came out of this little amp was unbelievable. I came back the next day with my own guitar and I walked out with this baby.
Pros:
-Tube amp, nothing like the warm sound of a well driven tube amp.
-10in Celestion speakers, the do make a difference.
-Two channels (Clean and Overdrive), footswitch included.
-Great sounding overdrive channel.
-ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) adjusts your tone for that good old British or American tone.
Cons:
-No reverb
-Don't expect to gig with it
-Pricey for a practice amp at 500 smackaroos
I've never owned a tube amp in my years of playing guitar. The other amp that I own is a 75W Line 6 Spider II modeling amp and I like the Blackstar more than the Line 6. If you are looking for something cheap then look elsewhere, however if you want the best practice amp money can buy then you've got to try this amp. If you have the chance of testing one out then do it, hearing is believing!
