Blackstar HT-5R MK III Combo

The Blackstar HT-5R MK III Combo is a 5-watt all-tube guitar combo amplifier that combines boutique-quality clean tones, modern high-gain overdrive and professional recording features in a compact format. Based on the acclaimed HT Venue MK III platform, it delivers authentic valve tone, extensive connectivity and exceptional versatility for home practice, studio recording and small live performances.

The amplifier is equipped with an ECC83 preamp valve, a 12BH7 power valve, and a 12-inch speaker, providing outstanding dynamics, touch sensitivity and full-range tone. Two footswitchable channels, each with two selectable voices, cover everything from sparkling boutique cleans to aggressive modern distortion. The Clean channel features enhanced tone control, while the Overdrive channel includes Blackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) for continuously variable American-to-British tonal shaping.

The HT-5R MK III includes CabRig™, Blackstar's premium IR-based DSP speaker simulator. Choose from hundreds of virtual cabinets, microphones, microphone positions and room environments, storing up to three presets directly inside the amplifier. A balanced XLR output, USB-C connectivity, stereo headphone output, 5 W / 0.5 W Power Reduction, effects loop with switchable operating level and digital reverb make it an ideal amplifier for recording, silent practice and everyday playing.
