In the market for a new amp. Tried out a 5150iii mini, 50 watts, wow!!! What an amp!!! But looking at a cost standpoint I was looking at some other options, which were the Blackstars. A fellow musician commented on an HT 20 that he used to have that was surprising loud and had great tone. Wondering if anyone in the area has a Blackstar HT 20 or HT Club 50 head that I could try out to do some comparisons or if you have ever had either of these amps what ur experience was. It would be much appreciated. _________________ S.S.D.D. |

I'm pretty sure Terry at Guitars 'n Stuff in Vintondale is a Blackstar dealer. You may want to give him a call and see if he has anything to try out. _________________ "He's the electric horseman, you better back off!" - old sKool making a reference to the culturally relevant 1979 film. |

Have the HT-5H, and the HT20-H. LOVE them. A LOT! My one suggestion is to replace the tubes (Pre and Power), since the stock ones aren't all that great, and the upgrade to something better makes a big difference.
Even the emulated-outs on them (Cab sims, similar to H&K Red Box) is really good. Not sure if they still make the HT20 Head. _________________ DaveP.

Have. More than enough volume. Actually, that's one of the reaasons I got it. Can push it more than a higher wattage and get that benefit, but 20 Tube watts....still pretty loud. _________________ DaveP.
