Tried a Blackstar HT-5 at GC the other day

[Gainfreak]

And I loved it

I'm completely stumped on how they crammed that much gain and tones into that little amp. I always compare little amps like this to my old 80's fender Superchamp and this thing held up to it. Im very impressed and the price is rediculous. I could care less if its a toy inside because it sounds killer.
It doesn't have the wallup of the Vox night-train or the Egnater but it is a little firebreather for sure!

Needless to say, I bought one!!! Now here is the kicker, I bought a Blem HT-5 on Music123 for $260 and I had a $25 coupon from them as well. The Total cost was $235 with shipping which makes it about the price of a boutique pedal lol

How much do they run?

$299 normally but I got the blem which was $260 and $25 off on top! Even at $299 it's killer!!

They are killer and I think it would be perfect for him lol!

Check out the clips on youtube! Lot's of variety ranging from a guy playing AC/DC licks to a guy playing full on death metal lol

If you go to Music123 and you don't care about a blemish, they might have them in stock !! I can pm you the coupon code I used to see if the code works for you!!

The powertube socket is actually chassis mounted.

Thanks bro! Unfortulately, I'm a broke mofo after just buying Ed's SLOvenger. I'm sure they'll be around used in no time

I want that Nighttrain something fierce but I just blew my year's funds on a drum set I have to learn how to put heads on and tune them still

I know someone in the UK that has a Blackstar HT-5, he's using it live with a Palmer PDI-03 going direct.

The Night Train clips sound great too. I'm holding out for the Vox AC4 - hoping the local GC will get them soon. Sweetwater has them on preorder for $249.99 (combo) and the head is $199.99. I want to hear one / play one first. The only clip from NAMM is good, but not enough to tell. Leaning toward the combo version.

 

[Capulin Overdrive]

yup, those things are badass!

 

[sandman]

blackstar ht-5 is my next purchase once they are in stock

pick up an EVANS Torque Key, they used to be like 12 to 16 bucks and are a God Send!

I hear you. I had managed to save some cash after my tax returns, so I used it on the HT-5 and the bulk went to hitting the CC debt!!
