Blackstar HT5 Combo

[TelePaul]

Anybody using this? Or even the head? Hows she sound?

I have a HT-5 Combo and it's a pretty nice sounding amp. IMO it sounds bigger than the 5w suggest.

It has decent cleans and a pretty warm distortion.

I really like the over drive tones. Are those all with the Maxon OD or were some with just the amps distortion?

I auditioned one while buying a pedal...very nice amp.

Clip 1 is straight in

Clip 2 has the Maxon OD808 with the Overdrive and Tone at 10:00 and with the Vol at 2:00. I wouldn't say the 808 contributes very much to the overall gain. I use it mainly to tighten the bottom and to smooth the mids a bit. i.e. it's just another flavor.

Here's a another with a Single Coil PUP and rolling back the gtr vol

WOW, it cleaned up that nicely just rolling back the voume?

Impressive little amp!
