Blackstar HT-5R MK III Combo Amplifier Review
The Blackstar HT-5R MK III packs serious power into a 5-watt combo. It uses real tubes (an ECC83 and 12BH7) to produce authentic valve dynamics and tone, while the built-in CabRig speaker simulator lets you record directly through USB-C or XLR without needing extra gear. With two switchable channels and multiple voice options, you can go from crystal-clear clean tones to heavy, saturated drive at the press of a button. It’s also quiet enough for late-night practice, thanks to power reduction down to 0.5 watts.
