Blackstar HT-5R MKIII

The HT-5R MK III takes the revered design from the award-winning MkII series to new heights with incredible performance, gorgeous looks and game-changing new features from improved voicings to the addition of IR-based CabRig™ speaker simulator software.

Valve amps sound best when cranked; the unique feel, dynamics and natural compression of a valve power stage running hot is widely considered the holy grail of guitar tone. The problem is turning your 100W valve amp up to these volumes is neither practical for yourself, nor your neighbours. Blackstar's HT-5R MK III, with its unique push-pull power amp, gives you this coveted valve performance at volumes suitable for home practice and recording.

Alongside providing capture-ready valve tones at any volume, the HT-5R MK III comes equipped with a direct USB-C output which can send 2 channels (left and right) to your DAW, ensuring the easiest way to capture authentic valve tone in recordings without the need for an interface.

The best part? These amps have in-built load protection, meaning you can use them without a cabinet connected for silent practice and recording.
