Description
The HT-1R 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 our IR-based CabRig™ speaker simulator software.
Big Valve Tone, Small AmpValve 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 neighbours. Our HT-1R MK III, with its unique push-pull power amp, gives you this coveted valve performance at volumes suitable for home practice and recording.
Tonal OptionsThe HT-1R MK III has 2 channels, clean and overdrive, each with 2 voicing options. With HT-1R 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!
Perfect for Playing & RecordingAlongside providing capture-ready valve tones at any volume, the HT-1R 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? These amps have in-built load protection, meaning you can use them without a cabinet connected for silent practice and recording.
IR-based CabRig™ speaker simulatorCabRig™, our class-leading IR-based speaker simulator comes as standard in the HT-1R MK III, offering hundreds of different cabinet, mic, and room combinations. Save your favourites to three presets for easy access directly from the amplifier. Get premium valve tones into your headphones, monitors and mixes.
Specs
‘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 our first products: the HT valve pedals.
NEW CabRig™ IR-based speaker simulator technologyCabRig™ is our 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.
State-Of-The-Art Voicing Circuitry
Each Voice switch makes radical and extensive circuit changes in both the preamp and the power amp, including the EQ voicing, the tone stack position in the circuit, the gain and the power amp damping to provide unique flexibility in tonal options – all at the press of a single switch!
Two Footswitchable Channels and Voices
The HT-1R MK III comes equipped with two footswitchable clean and overdrive voicings: On the clean, choose between a bright and pristine American setting with a solid and tight bass response or a classic British setting with looser bass response and a warmer mid-range, sensitive to your guitar output and playing dynamics.On the overdrive, choose between a classic hot-rodded setting with medium power amp damping or a more modern setting with a strong mid-emphasised pre-overdrive boost with a looser, more aggressive sound due to reduced power amp damping.All channels and voices are footswitchable with the optional 2-way FS-22 and FS-16 Footswitch, resulting in a wide selection of accessible valve tones.
Full Tone, Low Volumes
The HT-1R MK III is designed to create a full sound even at the lowest of volumes. This is achieved by using a single dual-triode valve as a push-pull power stage – just like a 100W stack!
Stunning Looks
In terms of looks we accepted no compromise. We have introduced upgraded cosmetics including premium tolex, high quality mini toggle switches and a cast alloy metal plate logo. Materials usually only found on boutique amplifiers.
