General

Blackstar's HT-1R MK II is a 1x 8-inch tube guitar amplifier combo which offers a remarkable amount of functionality and range of sounds considering its size. Due to the manageable power at even 1 watt, you can maintain that tube-amp sound at lower levels and avoid those angry looks from the rest of the band. Its convenient size means it already takes up less space than the drummer, bassist or keyboard player. Also, if you’re looking for more power, there is always the option of connecting a 4, 8 or 16-ohm speaker cab.

HT-1R MkII: equal to the challenge of the American and British sound

As soon as you flip the power switch, the tone of this amp is such that you can pretty much start playing. With the 2 channels offered, any guitarist would probably be happy, but each channel also has 2 different voicings, offering double the number of guitar sounds. On both channels, you won’t only get that punchier, American sound, but also that well-known British sparkle. With the ISF-knob you can sculpt the sound to taste and then add a pinch (or handful) of reverb at your own discretion. There is a USB connector for recording, an aux in for external devices and a headphone output making the HT-1R Mk II suitable for all tastes, moods and uses.

Wrote the following about Blackstar HT-1R MkII tube guitar amplifier combo, 1x8
Zou willen zeggen dat alle reviews waar zijn. Gewoon een echt goede compacte buizen combi met top reverb. uiteraard niet helemaal vergelijkbaar met een echte spring reverb, zeker niet in vollere reverb settings, maar zorgt er wel voor dat de amp veel groter en ruimtelijker klinkt, ondanks de kleine speaker. En ja het is 1 watt, maar dat kan al behoorlijk luidt zijn in je woonkamer/appartement. Zeker als je hem iets kunt opendraaien komt de amp echt tot leven. en met een 2x12 of 2x10 kan die ook prima mee de oefenruimte in (podium werkt alleen met een PA, maar is ie ook niet voor bedoeld). Absoluut een aanrader als je niet al te gevoelige buren hebt. fluister stil is deze niet voor bedoelt. koop dan een katana / yamaha thr of zoiets.

Ik had al de nodige reviews bekeken en daar was men zeer lovend over deze Blackstar HT-1R MKII. Ik had dus hoge verwachtingen van deze combo en die zijn uitgekomen wat een topper is dit.
Bovendien super snel geleverd zoals beloofd.

Een prima buizencombootje voor thuis! Ik gebruik de Blackstar in combinatie met een 2x10 cabinet en pedalboard in de homestudio. Lekker vol geluid krijg je dan. Door het bescheiden formaat verplaats je het versterkertje met gemak naar de huiskamer. Daar klinkt de combo ook overtuigend. Dankzij de reverb en de veelzijdigheid aan sounds - van clean via clean met een randje naar behoorlijke scheur - en ondanks de kleine speaker. Tijdens bandrepetities zal de versterker tekort schieten, maar daar is een 1-watter ook niet voor gebouwd.

Ik kocht de HT-1R als B-stock, met €100 korting. Dat het een tweedekansproduct was, zag ik alleen aan de eerder geopende doos. Op de Blackstar was geen krasje te bekennen.

Voor een apartent om 0.00 is jet nog steeds te hard voor het buizen geluid. Minder dan een kwart en heb hem daarom geretouneerd. Geluid is goed, maar vanwege dit “euvel” heb ik mijn Blackstar Beam gehouden. Verder blijft DHL een frustratie. Altijd problemen mee en mede daardoor helaas niet de service die je hoopt.

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

The VOX VTX Series - Evolution Accelerated

Wednesday 4 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

It's already been more than 10 years since VOX turned the amplifier world on its head with the Valvetronix series. This series of amps combined digital modelling technology with convincing tube sounds. Since then, models have slowly but steadily improved along with digital technology. Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.
