Innovation Redefined: Blackstar's HT MK III Amplifiers

FACE MI

In Northampton, UK, Blackstar is proud to have some of the most experienced valve amp designers in the world. They have brought those decades of knowledge and learning to create the latest incarnation of our award-winning HT valve amps – the MK III Series.

Innovation Redefined: Blackstar's HT MK III Amplifiers

The MK III builds on the revered history and success of the prior HT iterations, elevating them to a new level of sound quality, features, and performance.

Four incredible voices from chiming cleans to soaring high gains and our patented Infinite ShapeFeature. Power Reduction down to 10% of the amps rated power features on the HT-5R MK III and the HT-20R MK III models.

A game-changing addition is our advanced IR-based CabRigTM DSP technology, an embodiment of our latest innovations in speaker, cab, mic, and room emulation. This technology, originally featured in our St. James and AMPED products, represents our commitment to making Blackstar the ultimate tools for self expression. Coupled with 4-channel audio via the USB-C, capturing professional quality valve tone in your DAW is simple.

The CabRig outs (XLR, Stereo Line Out and USB) can also be used in Standby Mode making it ideal for both recording and silent stages too. Upgraded circuit board components and an all-new digital reverb with adjustable parameters further enhance the tone and performance.

All this comes in a stunning new livery using materials normally found on boutique amps; premium tolex and fret, mini-toggle switches and a metal plate logo.

The HT MK III Series of guitar heads, combos and cabinets are the culmination of decades of design experience and innovation; delivering “the sound in your head” with absolutely no compromises in tone, feel or performance.

Models in the range:

HT-1R MK III combo
HT-1RH MK III head
HT-5R MK III combo
HT-5RH MK III head
HT-20R MK III combo
HT-20RH MK III head
HT-212VOC MK III cabinet
