The new HT MK III Valve Amplifiers: Inspiration for practice and live performances

The award-winning HT range is one of Blackstar's valve amplifier series. It focuses on providing guitarists with classic valve tones in a compact package, which has become a benchmark in the homes and studios of professional and non-professional musicians. 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 amplifiers retain all the renowned features of the HT MkII series, with the addition of CabRig, the world's leading infrared DSP speaker simulator. CabRig allows guitarists to access hundreds of cabinet and microphone configurations with ambiance settings. These settings can be saved and stored in 3 presets that can be recalled directly from the amplifier for an incredible selection of tonal options when playing live or recording.

In addition to these cutting-edge new features, the new HT MK III series comes with a striking new look, featuring quality boutique amp styling. 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
III look as good as they sound.

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