About Blackstar HT-5R MKII

- HT-5R MKII 5W 1x12" Valve Combo Amplifier -
The multi-award winning HT Series MkII range has set the new standard for low wattage valve amplifiers once again. Now, HT-5R MkII, HT-5RH MkII and HT-112OC MkII are available in a stunning boutique 'Bronco Gray' Special Edition. Each amp retains the features of the original products, but with the addition of the unique and distinctive new cosmetic with Bronco Gray tolex, gray panel, cream piping and black paper fret make the HT-5R MkII Bronco Gray looks as stylish as it sounds.

The conventional three way guitar EQ network, or tone stack (a.k.a. Bass, Middle and Treble), is a key to the characteristic "voice" of traditional guitar amplifiers. Classic amplifier designs have their own versions of this network which leads to their own tonal voicings. The ISF control allows you to infinitely adjust the response of the tone control network between any of the traditional voicings in a way that has never before been possible. In this way you can design your own sound and truly find 'the sound in your head'.

Professional Recording Connectivity
USB output has been added for the simplest way to get valve tone into your recordings. Also added is a pro balanced XLR D.I. output, which allows the speaker emulated signals to be connected to external devices for practicing, recording or live use

Power Reduction
Inspired by our patented Dynamic Power Reduction circuit, simply switch down to 0.5 Watts at the push of a button without any loss of tone. Perfect for driving the 12BH7 power stage hard at lower volumes.

Reverb
Our new studio quality reverb has been designed to perfectly complement guitar tones.

Stunning Looks
The compact cabinet has a 3 degree angle on the front face, top-loader panel and stage-friendly chickenhead knobs giving the HT-5R MkII a stunning boutique style.

- HT-5RH MKII Head -
The HT-5RH MkII Bronco Gray is available in head format. Perfect to sit on your desktop for recording or carry to rehearsal. It looks incredible too!
