An exceptional blend of power and versatility, the HT Venue Club 40 MK III 1x12" 40W Tube Combo Amplifier Head is a must-have for musicians seeking superior sound quality. This gig-ready valve amp is perfect for club-sized venues, boasting a 40W EL34 driven power amplifier that delivers clean punch and dynamic sound. Its expanded tone controls ensure your music will cut through even in a full band situation.

The HT Club 40 MK III comes equipped with two channels and four footswitchable voices, offering a wide range of tonal possibilities. Switch to the overdrive channel to access two additional modes - 'classic crunch' and 'super saturated lead'. The Power Reduction feature allows you to attenuate the power to 10 percent of the 40 watts, making this amplifier equally suitable for home and studio use.

This amplifier is part of the multi-award-winning HT Venue Series MK III, renowned for its class-leading boutique cleans and modern high gain overdrives. The Clean channel offers vast versatility, producing classic clean and crunch tones, while the Overdrive channels have evolved from the original Series One range, sharing the same basic building blocks in the gain structure and tonal shaping.

Each channel features two distinct voices, each introducing comprehensive circuit alterations in both preamp and power amp to recreate authentic reference tones. This includes EQ voicing, tone stack position in the circuit, the gain, and power amp damping.

The HT Venue Club 40 MK III also incorporates CabRig, a class-leading IR based DSP speaker simulator technology, offering hundreds of different cabinet, mic, and room settings. You can save your favorites to three presets for easy access directly from the amplifier. The USB-C port lets you send channels to your DAW, ensuring the easiest way to capture authentic valve tone in recordings.

Blackstar's patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control allows you to shift the response of the three control tone stack between a US type response and a UK type response, offering an infinite number of alternative tone choices. The MK III also features an all-new reverb voiced for guitar tones, with 'Dark' room and 'Light' plate settings.

The HT Venue Club 40 MK III is designed for modern musicians, offering an effects loop, USB-C audio for professional recording, and an XLR D.I. for live performances. The included 2-way footswitch toggles between Clean and Overdrive channels and their two voices, while the optional FS-14 5-way foot controller gives you comprehensive control.

With its power reduction down to 10%, this amplifier maintains your tone while allowing power amp overdrive at much lower volume levels. Whether you're performing live, recording in the studio, or practicing at home, the HT Venue Club 40 MK III 1x12" 40W Tube Combo Amplifier Head delivers the exceptional sound quality and versatility you need.
