The killer tones and innovative features make the Blackstar HT-5RH MK3 5W Tube Amp Head the ultimate studio and practice valve amp.
Introducing the HT-5RH MK III
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 the IR-based CabRig speaker simulator software.
Big Valve Tone, Small Amp
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 neighbors. The 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.
Perfect for Playing and Recording
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. The best part is that these amps have in-built load protection, meaning you can use them without a cabinet connected for silent practice and recording.
Tonal Options
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.
IR-Based CabRig Speaker Simulator
CabRig, the 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 favorites to three presets for easy access directly from the amplifier. Get premium valve tones into your headphones, monitors and mixes.
What does HT Mean
‘HT’ stands for ‘High Tension’ and refers to the high voltages used in valve circuits like HT MK III. The HT name goes back to the very beginning of Blackstar and the first products: the HT valve pedals.
NEW CabRig IR-Based Speaker Simulator Technology
CabRig is the advanced IR-based speaker simulator, delivering mic’d up guitar cab sounds with unparalleled detail. With zero latency and superior flexibility over IR snapshots, CabRig perfectly simulates cabinets and rooms. Dive into its software for exceptional tones via USB or headphones.
Patented ISF
Blackstar's patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control shifts the response of the three-band tone stack between a US type response at one end and a UK type response at the other. Importantly, in between the two extremes lie an infinite number of tone choices that would be otherwise unavailable.
Pro Connectivity
To suit the home studio recording musician, HT-5RH MK III comes equipped with USB-C audio connectivity for pro-recording as well as the XLR CabRig output and 1/4-inch jack TRS Stereo.
