Because the HT Venue Stage 100H MK III Limited-Edition 100W Tube Guitar Amplifier Head in Snakeskin is a pinnacle of innovation and craftsmanship, it stands out as a must-have for discerning guitarists. This flagship amplifier head, now available in a striking limited-edition Snakeskin finish, harnesses the power of four meticulously selected EL34 power valves to deliver an impressive 100 watts of authentic British dynamics. With three channels offering six distinct voices, this amp provides unparalleled tonal versatility, making it an ideal choice for both studio and stage performances.
The 'boutique' style Clean channel offers two modes: 'British Class A' and 'Dynamic US,' allowing musicians to explore a spectrum of classic clean and crunch tones. This channel utilizes an ECC83/12AX7 valve, ensuring genuine valve compression and clarity. Meanwhile, the two ISF-equipped Overdrive channels, inspired by the acclaimed Series One range, feature cascaded gain stages of an ECC83/12AX7 double triode valve, delivering rich, full-bodied overdrives.
Each channel on the HT Venue MK III is equipped with two unique Voices, introducing significant circuit changes in both the preamp and power amp. These modifications affect EQ voicing, tone stack position, gain, and power amp damping, enabling a wide array of authentic tones with a simple switch flick. This revolutionary 'Voice' switch technology sets the HT Venue MK III apart from conventional amplifiers, offering ultimate tonal flexibility.
The CabRig Speaker Simulator is a standout feature, providing top-tier IR-based DSP speaker simulation with a multitude of cabinet, mic, and room settings. Users can save three presets directly to the amp for quick access, and the USB-C port facilitates seamless recording by sending four channels (clean/dry, preamp out, stereo emulated out) to your DAW, ensuring authentic valve tone capture.
Footswitch flexibility enhances the user experience, with all channels and voices being footswitchable. The included 2-way footswitch allows easy toggling between Clean and Overdrive channels and their respective Voices. For those seeking enhanced control, the optional FS-14 5-way foot controller offers access to all channels, voices, a global volume boost, and reverb on/off functionality.
Designed with modern musicians in mind, the HT Venue MK III is perfect for both home recording and live performances. It features USB audio connectivity for professional-grade recording and an XLR D.I. for seamless live integration. Blackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) allows players to dial in tones ranging from classic US to iconic UK, offering a unique tonal signature.
The amplifier's transparent power reduction technology reduces output to 10% without compromising tone, preserving the output stage's tone shaping and feedback loop. This ensures power amp overdrive at lower volumes, delivering the feel of a small amp on the edge of meltdown.
The HT Venue MK III unites exceptional clean tones with high-gain overdrives, drawing from Blackstar's expertise in crafting both boutique and modern high-gain amplifiers. This latest iteration builds upon a decade of experience, refining tones, components, and aesthetics while integrating modern recording and connectivity features like CabRig, USB-C, XLR D.I., and 1/4" jack.
Experience the future of speaker simulation with CabRig's cutting-edge IR-based DSP technology, which faithfully reproduces mic'd up guitar cab sounds with unmatched detail and zero latency. Blackstar's all-new reverb, voiced specifically for guitar tones, offers 'Dark' room and 'Light' plate settings, with deep-editing capabilities via the free Architect software.
In summary, the HT Venue Stage 100H MK III Limited-Edition 100W Tube Guitar Amplifier Head in Snakeskin is a versatile, powerful, and aesthetically striking amplifier that caters to the needs of modern musicians, offering a comprehensive suite of features for both recording and live performance environments.
