New HT MK III Tube Amps: Inspiration for Practice and Live Performance

The award-winning HT range is one of Blackstar's series of tube amplifiers. It focuses on providing guitarists with classic tube tones in a compact package, which has become a staple in the homes and studios of professional and non-professional musicians alike. The Blackstar R&D team has leveraged decades of experience to create the new HT MK III series.

The HT-1R MK III, HT-5R MK III, and HT-20R MK III amps retain all the renowned features of the HT MkII series, with the addition of CabRig, the world's most advanced DSP infrared speaker simulator. CabRig allows guitarists to access hundreds of cabinet and microphone configurations with ambient settings. These settings can be saved and stored in 3 presets that can be recalled directly from the amp for an incredible selection of tonal options when performing live or recording.

In addition to these cutting-edge new features, the new HT MK III series comes with a striking new look, featuring a quality boutique amplifier style. The new panel has a clean, crisp, edgeless look, combined with classic 'chicken head' knobs. High-quality switches have been introduced, LED colors have been updated, and a metal logo has been added. Without a doubt, the HT MK
IIIs look as good as they sound.

Here's what you can expect from the new HT MK III:

- Blackstar's patented ISF (Infinite Shape) system. Unique to Blackstar products, this control allows you to go from an 'American' sounding amp to a classic 'British' amp.
