It has always been a top seller for Blackstar, and the MkII takes that platform and revoices the channels while borrowing player-friendly features from the higher-wattage amps in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRevoiced channels\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Blackstar started work on the MkII they referenced their own amps and set out to match or beat amplifiers costing several times more. The clean channel came back with a clarity and note definition that is unusual on amps at this level, particularly at five watts. The gain channel holds up right through the range of overdrive rather than only sounding right at one setting. The original HT-5R was already an incredibly popular amp, and the MkII improves on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInfinite Shape Feature and four modes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eISF is Blackstar's patented control and it shifts the EQ curves of the Bass, Middle and Treble controls rather than acting as a simple filter. Fully counterclockwise gives an American characteristic with a tight bottom end and aggressive middle. All the way to the right gives a British vibe. Beyond that, a pair of Voice switches opens up four operating modes, giving both vintage and modern voicings for each channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe features around the tone\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevoiced onboard reverb with more depth and detail than before.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker-emulated output for recording or practising silently.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB output for connecting to a computer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffects loop for time-based pedals after the preamp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HT-5R MkII is an all-rounder for a practice space or a studio.
