I've had this amp for 5 months now & it is the best amp I've ever owned to the point where I sold off my vox & Marshall. Blackstar is an up & coming company, they've earned my business. I recommend this amp to anyone who wants to practice without deafening themselves but that's not to say this amp doesn't get loud, it's crazy because it's only 1 watt but you can hear it across my house with the volume & gain cranked, it gots some balls. The clean tones I get with my strat plugged in is really soothing but at the same time I can still play my punk music & heavy metal. When I researched this amp before I bought it, I had a list of about 10 other tube practice amplifiers including the Marshall DSL5c & the Vox AC4TV. The HT-1R dominated them all. I am not paid by Blackstar & I am not saying Marshall & Vox suck because I highly respect those companies but I believe in Blackstar. If you do want a Blackstar be sure to get the one with reverb, it really sounds nice in the clean channel. I have my volume at 10, gain at 6, EQ at 6 & reverb cranked to 10. With a stratocaster omg, it sounds brilliant. When I get dirty, I flip the switch & boom, perfect clarity & controlled madness for heavy metal & squeelies. LOVE THIS AMP.

It's great. Everyone who has ever owned this amp, actually owned it and used it thoroughly always says the same thing.. best amp under 20 watts probably ever. Blackstar made magic with this amp, accidentally or not. It really is an incredible amp. I run two I to a 4x12 stereo cab and I couldn't be happier. Great for recording and can be mic'd up to the PA with a band if you really wanted to. I know others that are doing this as well with two of these. Love blackstar clean tones especially

@EdgarBeja Hi. The "stereo" output allows you to connect two 16 ohm cabs. However since there is only one amplifier all you are actually doing is widening your sound in the room (if you place the cabs far apart). If you only have one cab, I would recommend you connect the 1x8 ohm output on the ht5 to the 8ohm input on the htv212.

I've recently bought one of these as my Hot Rod Deluxe deafens the neighbours unless I bring the volume down so low that I'm not driving the tubes! With this baby No Problem even on the driven channel but oh what a magic tone! Because you're really driving the tubes you're getting all the response and I've put a reverb pedal in when I want a deep echo! I have no idea how they do them for this money but I'm glad they do! Affordable tube tone for digital money! Put it to a 2x12 as in this demo and you can drive over most drummers! Buy one you won't be disappointed!

Great! Love your tests of Blackstar gear, and bought the HT-1R after watching and listening to this video. Must say it's got all I need in a home practice amp, except a little bit of extra headroom on the clean channel. A pity I am in Norway, since buying from you means customs and shipping get too expensive. Anyway: Keep up the good work!

@Doddus Hi there. You shouldn't notice any difference in tone between the HT1 and the HT1R with the reverb at 0. We think the HT1 without reverb is just for those who never use it or already have a pedal they like and want to save a bit of money! Otherwise there's no reason not to get the HT1R

@Furtheronmusic I'm still amazed at the tone from my HT5 stack, puts a smile on my face every time I switch on. You will not be disappointed with the HT5 in whatever format you buy it. This 1 watt baby has just effectively carved a gaping hole through the solid state practice amp market. Why bother when you can get valves for this price.

1 watt can still be louder than you might expect! If your walls are thin and/or your neighbors sensitive, even a 1-watt tube amp might not be apartment-friendly. The HT-1 still sounds quite good though even with the master volume turned down a bit.

@ninjasRfunky I should think it will be about the same but should definitely be loud/quiet enough compared to a 15w SS. As for the Champ well the Blackstar and the Champ are very different beasts when it comes to tone, it's really down to what you want to use it most for. Decide where your priorities lie, the blackstar probably will not handle Jazz particularly well but I would urge you to decide based on what YOU really want it for.

@MuckersGtr With Tube amps I'd highly recommend matching the load exactly. This will not only ensure you get the longest life out of your tubes and the amps transformers - you will also get the most efficiency and power transfer. With tube amps, mismatches that are too low are generally considered more tolerable than mismatches that are too high. In your case, I would definitely NOT plug a 16 ohm load into the amps 8 ohm speaker output. This risk is not to your cab. It's to your amp!

Yes it's a great little amp. I know they intentionally made it small but I think Blackstar missed a trick here and made it too small. I think it would have benefited massively by a somewhat bigger enclosure around the speaker. More like the size of a Marshall MG15 for example. More space around the speaker makes a huge difference.

@MuckersGtr You will probably wear out the tubes very quickly, and there is a high risk you will blow the output transformer which you don't want to do! I would imagine your cab has two 8 ohm speakers wired in series (=16 ohm load). If you're handy with a soldering iron, or know someone who is, you can modify this so they are wired in parallel. This will give you a 4 ohm load on an 8 ohm "tap" which would be better than 16ohms. Nevertheless, I'd still try and use an 8 ohm cab for the ht1. HTH!

@spidaman25x yes, I've no problem with using it in a bedroom on low volumes. There is a possibility to use it in standby mode (only preamp section is active) and use emulated output as Your headphones socket. I'm using HT40 at live gigs, rehersals and at home. It shines when master is near 12 o'clock. If You need only bedroom amp maybe you should go fot HT20 or maybe even HT5

To me it sounded a lot livelier with the 2 x 12. The 8 inch speaker is going to lack bass for one thing. But if you spend the cost of an HT1 plus the Blackstar 2x12 you could probably buy a larger but still portable Blackstar.

@MuckersGtr I'm in the same situation, since I've got an Orange Tiny Terror + cab. I was thinking that adding a 16ohm resistor across the speaker terminals will drop the overall speaker impedance to 8 ohms. It'll reduce the volume still further, but probably not a big deal. Easy enough to put a couple of 1/4 inch connectors and a resistor in a little box to do this. With only a 1 watt amp, it's not like there's a lot of power or heat that's going to be involved.

@AndertonsMusic I´n not sure about that, tried both with Gibson LP with P90s, and on the clean channel, with high gain setting, I suspect a better sound with HT1... but its just my instinct and how I remember it. I´ve read the reverb is digital, I don´t have great experience with reverb, but I can´t say I like it. Feels pretty useless for chords, to me most noticeable with lead blues lines, but I don´t know if it enhance anything. And if you have to look for it... it´s not there.
