The Blackstar HT Club 50 MK III redefines versatility in the HT Venue series, delivering a 50-watt, 2-channel tube amplifier head packed with classic and modern tones. Powered by 2 x ECC83 and 2 x EL34 tubes, this amp transitions effortlessly from pristine cleans to aggressive overdrive, offering two selectable voices per channel for unmatched flexibility. The clean channel features a 2-band EQ and a Voice switch, shifting between high-headroom American chime and warm, Class A-style breakup. The overdrive channel, equipped with Volume, Gain, a 3-band EQ, and Blackstar’s patented Infinite Shape Feature (ISF), lets you dial in tones from tight American crunch to rich British distortion.     Â
Player-friendly features abound, including a power reduction circuit that attenuates output to 10% without sacrificing tone, ideal for practice or small gigs. The built-in digital reverb with a Dark/Light switch adds depth and versatility, while the effects loop with a level switch simplifies pedalboard integration. The included 2-way foot controller (with an optional 5-way FS-14 available) provides hands-free control over the amp’s four footswitchable voices.
The HT Club 50 MK III’s CabRig technology revolutionizes recording and live performance. This advanced DSP speaker simulation offers hundreds of mic and cabinet combinations via Blackstar’s Architect software, with output options including 1/4-inch unbalanced, XLR balanced, or USB-C for direct recording. Updated boutique styling, featuring vintage chicken head knobs and a premium metal logo plate, ensures the amp looks as bold as it sounds. Whether you’re a gigging musician or a studio enthusiast, the HT Club 50 MK III delivers professional-grade performance in a compact, road-ready package.
