The Blackstar HT-1RH MK III 1-watt Tube Amplifier Head is a compact yet powerful solution for guitarists seeking versatile tones in a low-volume package. Designed for both practice and studio recording, this single-watt amp head delivers rich, tube-driven saturation with two distinct channels: a pristine Clean channel and a dynamic Overdrive channel. Each channel features a Voice control and OD Select switch, allowing you to fine-tune your sound with precision.
Blackstar’s proprietary Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) is a standout, enabling you to dial in a wide range of drive tones. When set counterclockwise, ISF delivers an American-style grit with a tight low end and aggressive mids. Turned clockwise, it shifts to a British-inspired tone with a warmer, woodier character. This flexibility ensures the HT-1RH MK III adapts to any playing style or genre. Â
The HT-1RH MK III also includes cutting-edge CabRig DSP technology, eliminating the need to mic a guitar speaker. With Blackstar’s Architect software, you can access hundreds of microphone and cabinet combinations, sending the simulated signal directly to your DAW via USB-C for seamless, mic-free recording. The onboard reverb adds depth and space, enhancing both live and recorded tones.
Additional features include a 2-channel design built on Blackstar’s acclaimed HT-1RH platform, superb clarity on the Clean channel, and a USB-C audio interface for modern connectivity. Whether you’re practicing at home or tracking in the studio, the HT-1RH MK III delivers professional-grade performance in a compact, user-friendly package.
