General
Blackstar's HT-1R MK II is a 1x 8-inch tube guitar amplifier combo packed with masses of functionality and a huge range of sounds despite its compact dimensions. 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 and, if whenever you do need more power, there's always the option of connecting a 4, 8 or 16-Ohm speaker cab.
The HT-1R MkII: Half British, Half American
As soon as you flip the power switch, the tone of this amp is such that you can pretty much start playing right away. With the two channels offered, any guitarist would probably be happy, but each channel also has two 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, while 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's a USB port for recording directly to a computer, a headphone output, and an AUX input for any external devices, making the HT-1R Mk II suitable for all tastes, moods and uses.

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax MusicBlackstar 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.
