Blackstar HT Venue Stage 100 MKII 100W Guitar Amplifier Head

Before you make your next musical investment, consider the HT Venue Stage 100 MKII 100W Guitar Amplifier Head. This powerful and high-quality amplifier head, crafted by the renowned Blackstar brand, is designed to deliver superior British dynamics through its four selected EL34 power valves. With a wattage range of 50W to 100W and 100W to 250W, this versatile amplifier head is suitable for a variety of playing scenarios, from intimate studio sessions to high-energy live performances.

The HT Venue Stage 100 MKII offers six distinct voices across three channels, providing an impressive range of tonal versatility. The 'boutique' style clean channel features two modes - 'British Class A' and 'dynamic US' - each equipped with an Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) for further customization. This feature 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 overdrive channels of this professional-grade amplifier head access two additional modes, delivering rich, full overdrives without the detached top-end 'fizz' often found in other designs. This is achieved through unique preamplifier and power amplifier shaping techniques, which also allow the overdrives to clean up beautifully as the guitar volume is reduced.

The HT Venue Stage 100 MKII also boasts a ground-breaking new clean channel and more responsive overdrives. All modes are now footswitchable, providing the widest possible selection of stage-accessible valve tones. A power reduction feature allows you to turn down to 10 percent of the amp's rated power, ensuring the full tonal depth of the EL34 power stage can be enjoyed at any volume.

For recording purposes, this amplifier head features a professional USB recording output, allowing you to send up to 4 channels of the guitar signal into a computer. Additional outputs on the rear, including a stereo jack socket and balanced XLR, allow the speaker emulated signals to be connected to external devices for practicing, recording, or live use.

The HT Venue Stage 100 MKII is not just a guitar amplifier head; it's a testament to Blackstar's commitment to sonic excellence and innovation. With its massively flexible feature set, intuitive design, and musician-friendly enhancements, this amplifier head is set to redefine the valve amp experience.
