Blackstar HT-5 head and mini stack!! Been playing a few amps lately but just couldnt get over the quality and price of this when I played it today, it feels like a tank and has all the great features I was after (FX loop, 2 channels, FS). Word of warning though, this thing is loud man!! No way can you play it cranked (even though its only 5 watts) in a house, but to be honest the overdrive has its own volume knob which means I could get some dirt at (Reasonably) low volumes, even clean it has a really nice rounded tone, not as clear and chimey as the fender i tried recently but far better than my old Marshall Valvestate, the od channel is just great, vitually any kind of dirt is in there somewhere, I havent figured out the ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) yet but I will! I cant wait to try some old skool pedals through this, any suggestions?? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Would you advise getting the cab that comes with it, or buying a seperate one? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Sure thing pal, be happy to!! QUOTE (Sircraigery @ Mar 28 2009, 08:02 PM) Congrats mang! Sound clip us! Soon as i get a mic I will mate. QUOTE (Darfuria @ Mar 28 2009, 08:06 PM) Those of you who have got the Blackstar stack. Would you advise getting the cab that comes with it, or buying a seperate one? Havent played it though another stack but I think it would be awesome through a 4x12, thing is the mini stack is such unbeleivable value for matched speakers its hard to justify recommending any thing else! EDIT: This thing has an output (Marked emulated output and headphones) for connection direct to a recording device or desk, can it be plugged straight into one of the inputs on my UX2 Theyre both 1/4" connections??

I'm sure you can do it that way. I found this on YT and this is what the guy says:- This song was recorded using the lineout of the Blackstar HT-5 head. The first riff is played on a '64 Gibson SG junior, using the 1x12 emulation, then the second riff is provided by a Gretsch Brian Setzer Hot Rod (surprise!) with the 4x12 emulation. A Les Paul R7 is used on all the harmonised and lead parts, using both emulations. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
