The HT-1R MkII is not. It is a full valve design in a 1x8 inch combo, built so that cranked-up tone is available in a room where a big head would be unusable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eRevoiced channels\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen Blackstar redesigned the HT-1R, they referenced their own popular amps and then set out to match or beat amplifiers from well outside this one's class. The clean channel came out with a clarity and note definition that is rare on a 1-watt amp. The gain channel holds together across the whole range of overdrive, so backing the control off gives you a usable edge-of-breakup rather than a thin version of the top setting. The original HT-1R was an incredibly popular amp, and the MkII beats it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eISF and voice switches\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBlackstar's patented Infinite Shape Feature runs the tonal spread. Fully counterclockwise brings an American characteristic with a tight bottom end and an aggressive middle. Fully clockwise brings a British vibe. On top of that, a pair of Voice switches gives four operating modes in total, putting a vintage and a modern voicing under each channel, and the voices are footswitchable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eReverb and recording\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe reverb has been revoiced for more depth and detail than before. There is also a USB audio output, which is the feature that makes this amp easy to live with in a studio: no mic, no stand, no room noise, just a direct capture of the amp. For a practice space or a small studio it covers both jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49101288538368,"sku":"HT-1R-MKII","price":247.71,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/0871\/5776\/files\/blackstar-ht-1r-mkii-01.jpg?v=1785439473","url":"https:\/\/musicshop.sg\/products\/blackstar-ht-1r-mkii-1-watt-1x8-inch-tube-combo-amp-with-reverb","provider":"Musicshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
