Ok let me start, heres my ht5r head. Has tons of gain, sometimes too much, i just dial till 12 noon, isf is best on the british side, sounds very similar to my marshall afd100, lots of overtones, the digital reverb is a bonus. Cleans are decent but not that great, breaks up too early. This is loud even for a 5watter. Plug it to a 4x12 it will spank ur arse!

here's my almost 1 year old HT5. its the old version with no reverb. The stock cabs are fine but i decided to get a 2x12.............and will never go back :-D agree with alvinratsim, a lot of gain and very useful isf knob, its like having 2 amps in one. There are a lot of 5 watter out there with err......not so good gain stages, but blackstar's not one of them. I used to own a ht-dual pedal and mind you the gain is consistent. I like them best with ocd + a little amp drive and a les paul.
meron ba 4x12 emulation and headphone jack yun sa yo? or nasa likod ng amp? yun sa kin pala nasa harap

@rmansh, yup its at the back. Ganda ng cab mo bro, whats loaded? @myn, thanks, get one u will not regret it, i think there are only two 5watt heads left.
Once you go black you'll never go back!! I was suppose to get a marshall class 5 head, but after hearing the tone on this i had to get one, the class 5 can only do plexy, this can do almost everything

salamat sir, its celestion v30s, di pa sya 'broken-in' pero oks na :-D
ako rin nagtry ng marshall class5 , vox head & cab 5watt, tiny terror, i picked this one. Its loaded with a lot of usable features and its just badass :-D

Blackstar HT-5R user here.. Binenta ko yung dati kong VOX AC4TV para lang dito. No regrets. Love the gain of this amp & the ISF. I always set mine to the american side. may pagka MESA ang tunog para sakin. Sana makapag palit na ng 2X12 na cab soon.

ht5 user here, i changed the preamp tube with GT' golds (i just like groove tubes), probably the only 5 watter out there that sounds this good(i like my e-wave but thats more limited in dialing different tones),
it shines well using a bigger cab, tried the HT20 and HT60..those are awesome :D

Blackstar HT5 (earlier version, no reverb) at the upper right, connected to a 2x12 Orange cab. Changed the preamp tube with a Tungsol.
We tried a/b\ing them with the blackstar amps, pretty close to almost the same. Their delay is awesome. The boost pedal is really loud and clear.
Thanks, I'm really gassing for a boost pedal. I'll also look onto their delay.

Take note, kailangan mo pa rin sya ikabit sa isang speaker cab or dummy resistor, para di pumutok.

Totoo po?? Pag ila-line out dapat may dummy resistor pa para hindi pumutok yung amp?? Kinabahan ako ah. Hehe. Hindi ko pa naman nagagawa pero yun kasi isa sa purpose ko kaya head ang kinuha ko, para if ever pwede mag line out head na lang dala.

Its not true, Its safe, just put it on STANDBY if using headphones or emulated line out. This amp has a push pull power design, it will totally bypass power section if on standby. As stated on the manual. It wud be rediculous to bring the cabinet with u always if ur just using the headphones it wud defeat its purpose. The headphones/emulated output will still work in standby

Ah ok... I must have missed that instruction then. I remember reading sa manual na they can be used at the same time, but I didn't see that the speaker can be disconnected. I did see a warning that a speaker should always be connected before turning the amp on. I don't understand much about switching etc, so I think I'll stick to being safe, because I might accidentally do something stupid (haha) :D
Anyways... everybody should read the manual, in all of their toys :D http://www.blackstaramps.co.uk/pdf/handbooks/ht-5r%20handbook.pdf

Mismo. No stocks of Artisan here though :-( Have you tested the Artisan?
yes, i tested a used artisan 100 in gc..price was still up there and that time i never had the intent of getting a high wattage amp since i relied heavily in iso-micing my cabs, (but now harmonic harmonic feedback is needed in our sound), the quality of these amps and the tone shaping features are great

its doesnt sound like a peavey or a mesa, sounds close to a marshall with more grid without any fizz . in short it has its own sound. Distortion is so clear, even in high gain, u cud hear every string. Wud sound better for sure if tested on its matchin cab

Got a Blackstar HT-5R Combo.
One word:
Awesomeness!!
First tube amp to my music career, and I got one of the best sounding low wattage amp. Natural sounding OD! Overtones! Harmonics! Clean is great! OD is Devastating! Guitar shines and shows the real sound!
Aaaarrrrrggggghhhhh! Even in my sleep I can still hear that amazing sounds, the sound that I've been searching for years, that my hands can reach now, my ears can hear, the sound in my head!
HT-5R for the win!
(Upgrading my RG350DX to Tone Zone Bridge and FRED Neck for more killer sounds)

Sa akin lang ha, if you've already grasped what you want to hear, there would be no need to change anything else. It doesn't matter kung stock yan or hindi branded, as long as nakukuha mo yung gusto mong tunog. Hindi naman lahat ng pickup swaps ay considered na "upgrades" eh, rather, it will change your sound, you may or may not like it when you do it. Again, just my friendly opinion.
With regards to the "what's your pickup? what's your amp?" questions, syempre kailangan muna ng background ccheck kung ano ba ang scenario bago mag recommend ng kung ano-ano.. para hopefully, mai-match dun sa query mo yung suggestions nila. There's nothing i\wrong in saying na stock pickups pa or what not.
Title: Re: ★ BLACKSTAR Amps and Pedals Users Thread
Post by: jay naoe on November 10, 2011, 04:10:00 PM
Thank you po Sir Chino sa inyo pong recommendation/response.
I want more power po kasi dun sa Neck pickup ko, more bite. Tsaka di ko po maibalance yung tunog/power po nung neck sa bridge although natweak ko na po yung Pickup height pareho. Naka Dimarzio FRED na po kasi yung bridge ko eh. Ilipat ko na lang po sa Neck pag nakakuha po ako ng Tone Zone.
"What's your amp? What's your pickup?" Ibig ko po sabihin sir chino na ok na po yung guitar and amp ko, ung para po bang di na po siguro ako makakakuha ng "change your pickup, upgrade your amp" na response po sir, minimal na lang po. Para po bang makafocus na lang po ako dun sa pedals sa sound na gusto ko pong maachieve.
Thank you po Sir Chino! :lol:
Blackstar amp rocks po pala! OT na ako..

My guitar is a Schecter 8-string, ano kaya ang pinaka-ok dito sa tatlo? HT-1, HT-5 and HT20 (all amp heads), balak ko ikabit either sa isang 1x12 or 2x12. Ang worry ko kasi e may sinasabi yung ibang friends ko na di kakayanin nung amp dahil daw sa additional low 8th string :? Hope you guys can help! Thank you in advance! :)

I got it from a trade sir. Traded my Marshall Valvestate 8080 to Blackstar HT-5R Combo. He needs a gigging amp and I need a bedroom amp. hehe! He gave me the receipt of the HT-5R for a 1 year warranty. Bought the amp for P25000-P26000 at Lyric Music Store using his credit card.
Lucky you :)
Thanks for the info bro.

HT-1R combo user here.
I gotta say it's more than I expected. I was about to get a HT-5R but I was considering the size and how loud it can get, considering I may not see the light of day if I crank it up lolz (I live on the 32nd floor but i rather would not let the SPF knock on my doors).
I was also considering getting a HT-1R head and a cab as one offered me at a reasonable price but I considered hauling it BACK home, so there, I got the combo instead.
It's a really small amp, and very simple controls. The cleans are also good but I seldom nor rarely use that channel at all. The ISF switch is very responsive, the gain is quite massive. For a small tube amp, it can nail those epic br00tal tonez in the bedroom any more than you need mood lighting to masturbate.
Just my two cents.

Lat time nag inquire ako ng HT20 Studio 29K price niya. HT-5RS nalang kinuha ko dahil wala silang HT20 Studio. DI ko alam ang 4x12 pero ang HTV212 with the HT20 ay around 49K lang.

HT5R Combo Upgrade Suggestions:
a. Speaker Upgrade b. Tube Upgrade c. Add a cab d. HT20 Combo e. EQ Pedal sa loop
Plano ko po sana bumili ng 7K na overdrive pedal to improve the OD Channel more, pero mas maganda po ata kung iupgrade ko na lang po mismo yung amp ko.
Need help sir. Thanks po! Rock!!

I emailed them and they give me the price. Its all the same on all their branches. Noong time na yun sa MOA at sa Horseshoe nila ako tinuro.
If may HT20 Studio i would have gotten that one last friday. Price difference is almost negligible compare to HT5-RS. But of course mas maraming review ang HT5. Aywan ko kung bakit.

If Blackstar will listen and put a 1 watt switch on the HT5R, then it would be a killer amp. :razz: I may need an attenuator to enjoy its tube character.

I experimented with just the blackstar HTdist last night. It uses a stock sovtek tube, i sounded ok, i then tried and EHX tube which i really didn't like the sound at all, lastly i installed a TAD tube fresh from Lyric...I am loving the sound big time, thick and creamy and definition!!! It's a keeper!!! TAD tubes and Blackstar a match made in HELL!

Planning to upgrade my HT5R Preamp tube. Sa net nakita ko po halos lahat masaya sa Tungsol 12AX7. I'll consider the TAD tubes po aswell. Iniisip ko nga rin po sana yung speaker upgrade, Celestion Speaker maybe.

Full band? Definitely. It's LOUD amp. Clean niya ay hindi parang Vox. Hindi siya kasing chimey. Siguro parang Fender Bassman yung clean niya.
HT20 From your previous post you mentioned you are going for the HT20 combo. Right?
I can see that your HT5R combo is relatively new and now you're going for another GAS.
Have you though of going for the head/cab instead? Baka magbago mind mo pag nakabili ka ng HT20 combo.
Go directly for the HT20 head. And you'll not be going for another GAS sooner. :) and it will come out cheaper in the end.
Ang problema ko lang po is wala akong cabinet for HT20 head. Di ko na po kaya yung HT20 na head, tapos bibili pa po ako ng Cabinet. Yung pangbebenta ko po sa HT5R Combo, pang HT20 head lang po, paano na yung cab? :-o

Ah okay i understand the situation that you're in. I just based my suggestion from your previous actions (i.e getting the HT5R combo and changing your mind too soon.
Perhaps you can consider the HT5R with a single cabinet. You can upgrade later to a full stack. But if your mind is set for the HT20 Combo then go for it man.
The HTV212 (2 X 12 Celestions) was 19999 when i asked last time. So if you'll go for the HT20+HTV212, perhaps you can afford to loss one of your guitars? or couple of pedals.
If only they got the HT20 head when i inquired, i could have sold my kidney for that, Ha Ha Ha. Otoh i still have a cellphone i can afford to lose.
Peace man!!!

OLD? you mean the HT5 without the Reverb? If the speaker is 10" then its the old HT5. The HT5R has now the 12" speaker, clean channel has only the volume & tone control. The equalisation knobs are only for the OD channel.
I'm pretty sure you can buy just the head. Or you can also have 1 or 2 matching cabs. Or have the HTV212 cab :)

Which tube? pre-amp or power? The emulated output is working fine. The emulated output is after the pre-amp but before the power amp/finals right? Could these be that the pre-amp tube is okay and the power tube is the culprit?
Does anyone here knows the bias setting of the HT5-R should i need to change the power tube?

Most likely it's the preamp tube rather than the power tubes. HT5 is cathode biased. Meaning, wala ng bias adjustment na kailangan gawin pag magpapalit ng tubes. Plug ang play lang. :-)

Oh it's plug and play then. That's good news!
I read somewhere that power output tubes that are cathode-biased should always be checked when replacing tubes, because they vary widely in terms of idle current for a given cathode resistor value, and it may be necessary to change the cathode resistor value to return the output stage to it's proper bias current.
I hope it's just the tubes.
I returned it to the dealer though just to be sure as it is still under warranty. Better not touch anything.
Thanks.

Just picked up a replacement HT5-R head today. Lyric/Blackstar replaced the faulty amp and sent it to the dealer. Nice service Lyric/Blackstar.
The box says moa for these. The first one not sure which branch. The sales clerk thinks it was from moa too.
I wish i would know what the fault was too. But the faulty amp is still lying in the store corner untouched.

Thank you Lyric/Blackstar for your excellent after-sales service. I am one satisfied customer. :)
Faulty PCB - so the problem is a deep one then not just tubes.
Not just a satisfied customer but a concerned one too. Please continue to read below.
As I intend to change the stock speaker cables, today i went to hunt for quality speaker cables and visited some music shops (not Lyric).
I went to four (4) different music shops. And i was shocked to learn the sales clerks attending me has no idea of the difference between a SPEAKER CABLE & INSTRUMENT CABLE! I was looking for a speaker cable and they were showing me instrument cable. I was explaining to them that i'm gonna use it on a tube amp to speaker and they were saying that i could use the instrument cable no problem. For them they are BOTH the SAME & interchangeable!
OMG!!! 4 different shops (not branches) owned by 4 different entities with their sales clerks having no idea what damage it could do to the amp.
Perhaps it would do no harm if Lyric/Blackstar will check their sales clerks too. You maybe in for a surprise seeing a Blackstar Amp with instrument cables leading to the speakers :)

If by deep you mean very serious... I can't be sure, but more likely it's not.
Like I said, a Marshall Valvestate V65R I used to own had the same problem. I thought it needed major repairs. Lito Bote fixed it in maybe about 15-20 minutes. Kasama na yung paglinis ng buong loob ng chassis dun.

Not very serious but a serious one. Not a simple thing like changing tubes (assuming one knows how to bias the finals if the finals is not self-biasing).
But since Blackstar changed the unit, its now a moot subject. Thanks for the input anyways.

I looked at their HT range, and it looks like they revamped the HT-5 combos. They now sport 12inch speaker, instead of the old 10inch ones.
"Thanks to the unique 5W push-pull design, the HT-5C combo delivers huge tone at any volume. This award winning guitar amp features enhanced tone controls and a 12" custom designed speaker to bring you one step closer to finding 'The Sound In Your Head'."
I wish I had the purchasing capability right now. :x

Sali ako! Grabe, sobrang ganda ng blackstar amp. I've been playing for around 20 yrs, and this is my first orgasmic experience with an amp. I was looking at the Laney Ironheart Combo all-tube amp, and decided to try and buy it. I tested it at JB MOA, but I was not very satisfied, so i went to the next store, Lyric MOA, tried the HT40 and wow! what a difference!!! I ended up buying it! For me, leaps and bounds yung difference sa sound vs the iron heart or any amp that I have ever tried. You can do so much more with the HT40. It's the first time that I had an amp that has a usable distortion. It's the first time in 10 yrs that I really understood the term "invest in a good amp". This is the first time I had an amp worthy of mic'ing (or actually even not micing because of the emulated output). I have always recorded guitars using software modeling (line6, boss, digitech).
The tonal options in the HT40 is VAST! ISF, clean voice and overdrive voice makes the amp very versatile. I also tried connecting the emulated output to my Laney AH100 PA amp and it also sounds good. All I can say is WOW!
I'm a very happy blackstar owner. Here's the pic I took yesterday, my NGD :-D (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-apvzjlKwxCw/T3HsxovQ8tI/AAAAAAAAJwU/f8x_Z5Dgrg0/s640/P1000171.JPG)

It's not a modeling amp per se, like copying existing amp models. Instead, the series focuses on simulating different valves (EL84, 6V6, EL34, KT66, 6L6, KT88).
This is kind of what Tech 21 does. They base their "Character" pedals on amp brands rather than specific amps themselves. If the music in the background was the amp itself, it looks like perhaps the Vetta II might finally have some competition at the top end of the digital amp spectrum. But yeah, the tube swapping emulation was a stroke of genius. They took a page right out of the Peavey ReValver playbook and (hopefully) successfully incorporated it into an amp.

Blackstar peeps, question naman. I'm planning to get Blackstar HT-DUAL. Some questions I have:
1. Is the clean channel really clean? or does it break up easily?
2. Does the emulated output only work when the pedal is engaged? Or does it work even when the pedal is not engaged - if so, how does it sound?
Reason I ask is that I have HT40, and I'm thinking to get the HT DUAL so I can go to gigs and keep my tone without bringing the amp. But it depends if I can get a good clean tone out of the HT DUAL.

To papi markcasq - musta na? Anyway about your question, the blackstar htdual is what you call your ht40 amp in a pedal, it is very versatile and usable in any of the application you wish for. When fuseboxx does rehearsal in our little condo studio, we can't make any noise coz the neighbors might throw us out or report us, we practice up to 1am at times. The blackstar pedal is my amp, the emulated output is my amp through our mixer. If I plug my regular pedal, you get the massive bee sound that took a dump, butt ugly tone! That is the beauty of any blackstar pedal. For recording or live use, itks worth it, 90% the pedal sounds like the gain stage of your amp. Prog on my friend!!!

Ayus naman :) Yeah, HT40 in a pedal is exactly what I'm looking for. I have also tried the emulated output of HT40 through a PA and keyboard amp and it's the best tone I've heard from an emulated output, so I guess this is it. I'll just have to try it out and see if I really like it. Thanks Mico!

They normally tweak it as rhythm then lead, kaya madalas walang clean. :)

$450 is street price. that's about P19k. $570 is USA list price that's about P24k. Lyric sells ht-5r's for P27k. considering tax and shipping, that's actually a fair price for one

I don't have an HT Stage 100. I only have the HT5R full stack.
I think both are great amps. The Stage 100 is one of the best sounding tube amps in it's price range. Ditto with the HT5R. You won't go wrong with both whichever you may chose. It all boils down to your requirement and application. The HT5R albeit only 5 watts is loud for a 5 watt tube amp.
If money is not an issue, go for the Stage 100 :)

Try calling Lyric MOA, they will ship to the province as far as i know. I have inquired once and they confirm they can do it. You pay the shipping of course. I understand ToGO is near their store so that would be the easiest/convenient courier for them to use.
Or inquire if they probably have a local dealer in Bacolod.

i think okay na ang HT-5R combo pang bahay lang. If you plan to use it on small/medium size venues, perhaps you may consider the HT-5R head which you can go later to a full stack.
With the HT-5R, dispose/trade your MT-2 to a GE-7 equalizer. You may not need any other pedals (except Delay and Chorus). :)
On my HT-5R, pambahay, with the OD Gain set at 10 o'clock, I seldom go over 9 o'clock on the OD Volume. If you are into Clean channel, perhaps you may consider the HT-20. The Clean channel Volume i find a bit lacking on the HT-5R.

Ayos. Gusto ko na rin kasi talaga ng rekta tube amp na tunog eh. Yung unang choice ko, yung HT Club 40 napaisip na rin ako na masyadong overkill. Madalas talaga high gain ang tugtugan kaya ayos lang kahit 'lacking' yung clean channel nung HT-5R. So yun baka HT-5R na pero ipon muna. Salamat sa payo.

Yun nga sir sa clean channel of this particular HT Studio 20 combo, kapag yung volume (ng clean channel) nakaset between 9 o'clock to 1 o'clock regardless of tone knob setting napaka-prominent ng pagkatrebly nya at may slight volume reduction tapos pagpinihit mo yung volume past or exactly 1 o'clock bumabalik sa pagkafull ng sound nya. Hindi gradual yung change ng sound talagang bigla yung pagkaiba paglagpas mo ng 1 o'clock sa volume. So yun sir ang problema, sana mafigure out kung ano talaga diperensya nito o talaga bang normal ito (which I doubt) kasi sabi ng previous owner ganun daw talaga ito eversince noong nabili nya (4 months ago).

Yun nga sir sa clean channel of this particular HT Studio 20 combo, kapag yung volume (ng clean channel) nakaset between 9 o'clock to 1 o'clock regardless of tone knob setting napaka-prominent ng pagkatrebly nya at may slight volume reduction tapos pagpinihit mo yung volume past or exactly 1 o'clock bumabalik sa pagkafull ng sound nya. Hindi gradual yung change ng sound talagang bigla yung pagkaiba paglagpas mo ng 1 o'clock sa volume. So yun sir ang problema, sana mafigure out kung ano talaga diperensya nito o talaga bang normal ito (which I doubt) kasi sabi ng previous owner ganun daw talaga ito eversince noong nabili nya (4 months ago).
Under warranty pa yan, maybe you can just have it replaced

Im planning to get an extension cabinet for my HT-5R combo.
Pareho lang po kaya ung construction nung HTV-112 sa HT-112? Pinagkaiba lang po ba nila is ung Speaker configuration?
Plano ko rin po kasi iupgrade yung speaker to Vintage 30 or Eminence Governor sa future. :eek:
Thanks po sir! :razz:
HT112 = 443 x 249 x 444 HTV112 = 619 x 536 x 294
Yung HT112 is designed specifically for the HT5 amps. The HTV is for the Venue series (HT20, HT40, etc.). So i guess since your amp is the HT5, then the HT112 is the way to go. Lyric has them in stock ata for around 11k.
Eminence Governor is nice! I've tried the Tone Center with a Blackstar HT1. I love the mids on that speaker.

Thanks. Mas naging fuller yung sound when I added another cab, even at low volume. Tapos if jamming, pwede sila mag dala ng head lang, may speaker cab na sila.

IMO, it's mainly for bedroom use, like late night jamming without the loud volume. Don't expect it to have a clean headroom. I tried in in a Tone Center cabinet (Eminence). It sounded best with the Governor. For the price, I think it's worth saving up for the HT5 or HT20.
It's a significant improvement, kahit 1x12 extension lang. The sound is fuller. I'm happy na naman with the combo before, but when I added the extension, double the happiness :). I can't wait to gig this, kaya lang no gigs pa. Anyway, it's dual purpose naman. I will use it also for another head for two-guitar jams sa house.

my shortlist for low-watt tube amps includes the marshall class 5 and blackstar ht-5r. kaso nakita ko yung blackstar ht-1r kaya napaisip ako kasi yung marshall kelangan pang i-crank talaga para lumabas ang overdrive. eh sa blackstar kahit hindi na kasi may master volume di ba? hirap mag-isip he he..

Good question :-) Actually I was not planning to buy a Blackstar. I was planning to get the Laney Ironheart 2x12 120w 3-channel all-tube amp. It is "THE" amp in paper - dami specs, reasonable price. I went to JB music and tried it with my strat. I liked it, but I said I'll come back, I needed to think first. Then I went to Lyric next door and HT40 is their only available amp. I tried it and I was blown away, deep and punchy cleans, and very smooth, yet hot distortion. I bought it right away, and posted my valveking 112 for sale.
To answer your question. If soloist was there for me to try and the price difference is not that big, maybe I might have considered it. HT40 is very expensive already for me, but with what I heard it was worth it, even if later on I found out that the price is so high vs. internet price, no regrets.

Wow! Then the tone must've been that good. Cool.
Most likely I will try to test 'em HT40, HT soloist 60 & the HT stage 60. So far i'm deciding among these.
Thanks so much markcasq. BR & God bless

Hello there,
I just went to visit Lyric Trinoma, I have seen that they have new stock of blackstar amps, but I did not saw an HT 40. I was planning on saving up for an HT 40. Gusto ko rin sana matry yung 40.
I was also wondering what's the difference between HT20 and the HT40? I am really wondering about the price difference about the two. haha, konte nalang din dagdag kasi for me sa presyo. 34,999 and 39,999
Last ko na rin natry yung sa Lyric sa Park square yung 100, di ko lang alam ano specific model yung, basta may 100, pero nabili na rin nung last ko visit.
Natry ko with the Hetfield guitar na LTD rin nila doon, though di ako nakapag experiment masyado, nagmamadali rin kami that time.

Talaga? 5k difference lang pala ang HT20 sa HT40. Bukod sa wattage, mas malaki significantly physically yata ang HT40. So if gusto mo portability, at low volume, get HT20. Cayle can chime in about his comment on the HT20.
Title: Re: ★ BLACKSTAR Amps and Pedals Users Thread
Post by: cayle on June 26, 2012, 05:40:27 AM
Ang lamang ng HT40 sa HT20 ay yung stock speaker (Celestion 70/80 for the HT40 and Rocket for the HT20), dark/bright switch for reverb and the voicing options for the channel. So you get more sounds from the HT40. The HT20 is a bit smaller than the HT40 but not too much. Sakto yung HT40 sa HTV112 cab, while the HT20 mas narrow ng kaunti.
Okay na ako sa HT20. Hindi ko na macrank yung volume sa bahay. Nakakasabay naman siya sa full band situation.

i have a HT-1R too and contemplating on selling it. I have it running on a 1x10 VOX cab and it's rather great in nailing heavy sound. However I got a tweaker head and cab few weeks ago and my HT-1R is under utilized. Last night i tried running it on a 1x12 cab and to my amazement, it improved far better than the stock and 1x10 speakers. I suggest you try it on a 1x12 or perchance a 4x12 to discover better tone and maximize the amp's true sound. Just my two cents! obtw, it's a direct to amp setting, no pedals or whatsoever!

Egnater Tweaker? How many watts? How is it compared to blackstar? Egnaters caught my attention lately. Yeah, 12" is better and 2x12 or 4x12 makes a big difference... I just learned.

15watts head with 1x12 cab.
Well, I can dial my sound on the Blackstar in a few seconds, while the tweaker, as the name suggests would really need to do some tweaking lol. Due to the mini toggles and stuff. The tweaker's clean channel is tad better than the HT-1R, but on the gain channel, I give the Blackstar the thumbs up.

Hi Papi Emil!!! Here is a photo of the power adaptor of the Blackstar pedal, it looks like a PSU of a laptop. And I believe it's make is just for the Blackstar and no other pedal can be daisy chained on it.

oo nga 1.1A daw ang maximum draw niya sabi sa manual niya.. parang adapator ng palm pilot nga ang laki and i believe 2A-4A SMPS siya... pero panu yun size nun plug niya.. i'm just wondering kung kasukat nun sa mga Boss pedals (2.1mm) or malaki like sa mga line-6 modellers at Digitech whammy (2.5mm)

the Cub is easier to carry.
yup, this thing is heavy. probably same as a Peavey Vypyr 75W, but the enclosure is smaller so the Blackstar is easier to carry. the HT-5R feels more solid of the two.
weird, all three of them have 12" speakers. and they weigh differently. transformer stuff I suppose?
wow the Laney is light!

Anong impedance (ohm) rating nung cabinet? Kung ano yung value nun, dun mo isaksak sa corresponding na speaker output sa likod ng amp. Naka sulat din naman dun yung mga impedance ratings na pwede sa kanya. Use a speaker cable, not your regular instrument cable.

Just checked the HT5RH's output selections.... Pili ka lang kahit saang port nung Orange 2x12. either one is 16 ohms (basta isa lang saksakan mo)..
Then plug mo dun sa speaker output ng Blackstar that says "1x16 OHM"
As for speaker cable, merong mga branded... pero I use assembled Nobelle's speaker cable and plugs from Audiophile.. won't cost you 500 for a meter and the plugs..

took one for a spin at MOA a few weeks ago. it was a mini stack.
righteously enjoyed the tones i was dialling in, and it didnt take much tweaking either.
i have my crosshairs set for one in the future.
drive my inconsiderate drunken videoke neighbors nuts with my delicious tone and semi-tone triple-stop bends :)

No need to bias pag preamp tubes ang papalitan.
Ang kailangan ibias for selected amps ay kung magpapalit ng power tubes, pero it's always safer if you'll replace the power tubes with a matched pair or quad.
Fixed bias -- eto yung inaadjust mo yung bias ng amp (as needed) pag magpapalit ng power tubes Cathode bias -- "self biasing".. no need to adjust bias pag magpapalit ng power tubes
Ang alam ko, yung HT20 ay cathode bias (pero pwede mo rin mai-adjust if gusto mo) kaya kahit di mo na iadjust yung bias pag magpapalit ng power tubes. Take note, power tubes.

cool... i just hope Philippine shops don't price it like those real tube amps. Coz i know the ID series' primary goal was to keep the price down.
BR & God bless
Check the internet prices to get an idea of how much they go for abroad. I think the goal was not to keep the prices down but to create a great value for the money innovative modeling amp. These are not BUDGET amps or low-end amps which have the intent 'to keep the price down'.
Fair relative pricing is what I personally am hoping for.

Natry ko yung blackfire200 sa lyric moa. Bait nung staff pinatry sakin without hesitation. Funny namali price niya sakin 64k. Nabigla ako. Papareserve na sana haha! Kaso naaawa ako dun sa amp.. On and off simultaneously nung staff. Pundido na yung isang preamp tube. At mukhang hindi speaker cable gamit. Kulang ata knowledge ng staff sa paghandle ng tube amps(sayang bait sana nung staff).
Anyways, sa tone. Ganda. Very versatile. Ganda ng cleans. Low gain crunch for blues and opkors para hi gain metal toanz. Very responsive pa ng controls. Even yung isf(sa ibang lower watt ht series di ko gaano napapansin changes). At may 2 isf para sa clean/crunch at dun sa high/higher gain. Haha! At may built in parang attenuator pa. Sulit na sult. Mas maganda to kaysa sa series 1 para sakin(natry ko nadin).

hello blackstar users!
nagiisip ako kung bibili ako ng HT5RH, tapos bibili ako ng dalawang 1x12 (i'll use one at home, then i'll use two pag gig). i could also get a nice 2x12 kung kaya.
ang tanong, is the head loud enough for gigs at our local bars? Think bside, freedom bar, saguijo and the like. i play metal to give you an idea on my volume needs :) i guess i'll be mostly using the clean channel, since i have a distortion pedal na :)
sa mga naka HT5RH diyan, is it loud enough ba? thanks! :-D

Hi kingthomas, in all honesty di kakayanin ng HT5RH ang mga venue like bside, freedom and saguijo. You will end up ruining your HT5. I tried using an HT5 in one gig (small gig) in Malate. The volume was at 7 already, and it was pushing it hard. Comments were, it sounded good but it needed to be louder. It was the HT5 anniversary model 2x10. Maybe it will be possible for you, if say you have it miked properly, maybe you don't have to push it too hard.
But alone...it lacks the oomph and besides the HT5 is for practice and recording.

okay sir! thank you sa input mo :)
so I guess I'll have to go a little bigger, like the HT 20 head, or yung Club 50. ubos pera ko! :cry: :lol:
at almost any settings bro except for cleans 2nd hand ko na nabili sir eh. dapat pala nagtanong muna ko dito since na-try ko naman yung amp 2 days bago ko bilin. :-(
that is definitely strange. if it still has warranty, you might want Lyric to have a look at it. I was thinking your gain and volume was maxed out but apparently it's not.
or maybe the power amp section has a problem? anyway I would suggest to let the amp pros handle that one, as previously advised bro...

how can you tell if the tubes are broken? A rule of thumb is change all 4 of them.

If only the preamp tubes are broken, you can oopt to change only the preamp tubes.
However, if the problem's still there upon replacing with new tubes, you might as well replace the power tubes with a matched pair.
As papi mico asked, how could you say that the 2 preamp tubes are broken?

Post by: naxmatilda on June 18, 2013, 02:21:23 PM
Thanks for the reply phoenix-rising and r_chino18...
I initially heard a scratchy sound coming out from the amp. I checked the tubes, the preamp tubes (3 tubes) the 2nd and 3rd
tubes seemed not glowing (I guess these are the 2 12AX7's) . That's when I thought the tubes might be busted. When I
looked closer later, the 3rd tube was actually glowing. The 2nd , I still couldn't see if it's glowing or not. It's just the silvery paint
the bottom of the tube I see.
Since I can't see the tube glowing, I assumed that it was broken.
The 3 channels of my amp are working, the scratchy sound seemed to have disappeared. There might not be something
wrong with the tubes after all.
Hopefully this makes sense. :)

Post by: phoenix_rising on June 21, 2013, 10:35:04 AM
Normally busted tubes will have a white haze inside. Pumutok ang tube nun. Not all tubes will glow the same way but you know they work is when they are hot to the touch. The preamp tubes are the small ones. If the tubes are busted normally there will be a volume drop. (Tube amp users please correct me if i am wrong.) Scratchy sound...i still don't get the sound...like a swoosh like a flanger/phaser effect???
When amp is on let it run for a bout 5-10 minutes then touch the tubes one by one. There are times jiggling the tubes will help for the tube probes to go into contact.
I effin want one. Guys promise those ID series will eat your HTs. Tubes don't matter at all with tones like those (could careless how you get the sound so long as you get it).

The HT-40 cost 39,999.00. Lyric is the official distributor. The one thing i really like about Blackstar is that it is so easy to tweak and find a good sound. for clean tones, there just a a tone knob a switch if you want your tone to be bright or warm. The guys at Blackstar were really smart enough to do this, it's just a time saver. I hate tweaking and tweaking just to find a good tone because i want to just plug and play. For gain stages they got this ISF knob which turning it you can dial tones from American to British (Mesa and Marshall tones), such a cool feature other amps don't have. Blackstar amps are easy to tinker with, pedal and multi effects friendly. Other amps are a nightmare when it comes to choosy amps, but Blackstar is not!!!
Even though you have a new amp, i'd still suggest you try one for yourself. Thanks!

Malayong malayo tunog ng AC30 at HT-40 in terms of clean and crunch.
Mas buhay ang "vox cleans" ng AC30, obviously. Pero yung sa HT series, judging by my brother's HT-20, medyo bland at dull sounding. Bitin ako sa treble. Masyadong dark pa rin ang clean.
Pero pagdating sa drive, the Blackstar can certainly dish out heavy British tones. Malayo sa crunch ng Vox..
I guess it will boil down sa kung anong mas habol mong tunog.. Both are good amps, they just sound miles apart from each other.

Ganda nung ht20! Nahalata ko lang di madyado responsive yung isf on lower volumes. Yung 6505+, 5150 with little better cleans. Valveking, di ko masyado natweak nung natry ko. Low gain lang natry ko di pako masyado impressed.
Pinakaversatile na yung ht20 para sakin. Gusto ko din ng ht5 para sa kwarto. Sana makakuha ako nung head version.

Picked up a used HT-40 a couple of weeks ago. It'll function as my practice/teaching amp. Sounds great!
For those experimenting with tubes, I have SED Winged C 6L6 power tubes in it right now. The bass is a little beefier and the mids are a little tucked in both channels. This makes the clean channel is chimier and the drive channel is somewhat darker. Still trying to decide which flavor I like better as I also dig that EL34 midrange bark.
You have to re-bias, though, as the stock bias for EL34s is too hot for 6L6.
Nice amp bro! ID ano to? How is it compared to the HT series? Thanks. :)
Yup Blackstar ID 60. It's a solid state amp. What i like about it is now i know how other power tubes sound like with the TVP (True Valve Power). EL34, EL84, 6V6, 6L6, KT66 and KT88. I used to think that i was an EL34 or EL84 guy just because people say na maganda ang amp using these tubes, with this amp, i realized 6L6 pala ako.
No more effects na rin ako, all from the amp. And the unit comes with a footswitch! Which is not sold separately. Coolness!

The amp is 39,200.00 Just the same as your HT40 amp. I was supposed to get an HT40, but this one just sold me because i need a lot of sounds with my band. I was still apprehensive because it is not tube but the TVP was just awesome. Loud mother too!

Blackstar uses a lot of TAD tubes which sound really solid. Then one day Blackstar started using other like Sovtek. Lyric carries TAD tubes you can check them out. Get the right tubes, then just fit them in, just be careful with the prongs so you won't break them. jiggle slowly from side to side so it will move in slowly, then with a clean cloth, wipe off fingerprints of the tubes because i just found out the oils in or fingers that adhere to the tubes generates extra heat on the tubes. I read an article on the net about it, thats why i'm that careful with tubes.
Prog on!!!

Question, ok po ba para sa HT5r head yung blackstar htv212 cab? or would you guys suggest other brands? or maybe a 4x12 cab? haha.

It'll definitely make your ss amp sound better. Adding the bad monkey (great bang for buck od) can smoothen out the tone and balance it out. Creamy creamy. Lyric is official distributor and they got 5 of those pedal left. Priced at 14,999. They are located at Megamall, Park Square, Filinvest 3rd, Shopwise and Sm Pampanga.

The HT5R head can be used with the HTV212 and the 4x12. It will still be using the same volume of the 112, it will not make your sound louder. More headroom and better tone though.

+ 1 to bro phoenix. I'm using the HT distx with a wylde OD. I'm happy with it. I'll try to team it up with a TC mojomojo soon and see if it will smoothen a bit. :)

Do you gig? The HT-1 sounds great as a standalone practice recording amp. If you want to use your effects, you're better off with an HT5. But if you go out gigging, i'd suggest the Distx since majority of bars don't have really nice equipment.

Just went to a local music store near where i live. Here's what I can share.
Blackstar HT 5210 - Clean channel is really clean and lets the natural guitar tones sing. Dirt channel is awesome and very thick, probably because of the 2 valves. I think any descent guitar will sound good with this amp. If you are someone who's looking for a combo amp with built in effects, I suggest to look at the ID60 or Line 6 amps as this amp only offers a very good clean channel and dirt channel. No modulation here guys.
Blackstar ID60 - I think this line of amps is much better than the Line 6 (amp modeling). Turning on the TVP will bring you next to a tube amp sound. Effects are descent and are easy to use. From how I understand it, the ID60 is not an amp modelling, but instead it emulates the different valve responses.
Nakaka GAS nga itong mga Blackstar amps. Hirap magpigil na hindi bumili.

I'm not sure how much is the ID30 and im no Blackstar expert but here's what I know.
HT-1 * Is an all tube amplifier. It is tube driven in both pre and post gain. * It has 1 Watt power.
ID30 * is a solid state amplifier. * It has this tube modelling feature where it simulates different tubes and their responses. * It has built-in modulation, delay and reverb. * It has 30 Watt power.

I have to share my experience...
I have nothing against the company, in fact I love the sound of these amps that I sold my 6 year old Line 6 Spider and bought the HT Soloist 60, however I feel compelled to share my experiences with this product.
I bought a Blackstar HT Soloist 60 last 16 Nov 2013 and after 24 hours I have had lots of problems with it.
It was making a popping/cracking sound even when on standby and master volume all the way down. I returned it to our local music shop and they replaced it.
Unfortunately, the second amp had its own problems. The OD channel is producing the sound from the guitar (while playing chords) even when the OD channel volume and master volume is down to zero. The effects loop is not working as well, no sound is coming out when set up with my TC Electronics G-System using the 4 cable method (note: it was working on the first defective amp).
I returned the amp again for the second time. The good guys from our local music shop said they'll check it out and replace it with another amp from their other branch, so I have to wait until friday 22 Nov 2013.
My excitement to own a Blackstar amp seems to be diminishing, I hope the third amp will work properly.

Finally purchased a Blackstar ID60 1x12. Tweaked it and made adjustments sa noise gate via insider and I finally have my tone.
There are myriads of tone to be had with the amp. Super sulit and it feels and sounds natural. \m/
Great buy for me! If I had lots of toned muscles with an ability to carry heavy stuff without much effort I would have gotten the ID260. I think that will sound really massive as the 112 version does already with just a speaker. \m/

got an HT5r this afternoon at Lyric Glorietta. My first tube amp so I would like to ask if the hissing sound is normal when in OD channel? The gain is at 4 and the volume is in 2 and it has the hiss sound. Turning it higher makes the hiss even more loud. Is it normal? By the way, when there is no guitar plugged no hiss sound. My cables and guitar are new so that should not the culprit. TIA.

1. Cranking up the gain will induce noise so, I think in a way thats normal. 2. From what I know when the guitar is unplugged, the amp goes into a "Stand By" mode thats why it is dead quite. 3. The other thing is, if you are using single coils, you'll hear a buzz (thats normal).

Hello mga sir, Les paul gamit ko. Nadala ko ulit kahapon sa Lyric and we tested both my amp and HT20 and they both had the hissing sound. They said it was normal for high gain tube amp to have that sound. Mas pronounced lang siya sa Ht5r because of its small chassis.
Thanks for the answer Sirs. Really appreciate it.

I have an HT5r na mga 2 years na. Been using it for bedroom practice with a headphone since I bought it. Yesterday, we used it with its internal speakers. Clean channel lang ako since I have my pedal board. After 2 hours or so of playing, biglang nagka hissing sound. Then, biglang yung clean channel nagkaroon ng little amount of gain or parang point of break up sound. Tapos the volume dropped. Even if I max the volume out sobrang konti lang ang nadadagdag na volume and hindi na clean yung tone. What could have happened to the amp? I was using it kasi almost exclusively with headphones. Kahapon na ata yung pinaka matagal nagamit with the speakers. Sa 1x16 ohms ko sinaksak yung speaker connection/connector sa likod per manual.
Sana di naman nasira. Anyone of you experienced the same thing with your amps? :)

Correct on all points. But on my HT20, the noise when you crank up the gain is not a "hissing" noise. That's just me though.

I'll probably take it to lyric on of these days. Funny thing is when I tried the amp using my headphones, it worked just fine. There must something loose in the speaker connection or the speaker or even that resistor your talking about. Thanks so much!

Thanks Again
Found a comment is some foreign site about 5 watts: I've got an HT-5 (5 watt tube head) running into a Marshall 4x12. It isn't any louder than a 1x12 it just sounds a little different.
If you've already got a 4x12 then it's worth it to just stick the head on top of that. If you're going to be buying a cab I'd suggest just be getting a good 1x12.

Looking at the Blackstar ID30's feature, mukhang interesting yung power tube type options. How much does this cost pala?
I'm a user of a Blackstar ID series amp. Love the amp, all the while when i use to have a tube amp, i really thought i was an EL34 person, only to realize i was a 6L6 guy. Everybody kasi says na EL34 sounds cool and what not kaya nag EL34 ako. But with this amp i found out i was a 6L6. Take note i know how a real 6L6 amp sounds, so with this amp i got to try it with my bands and found out na bagay yung ganitong tube sound with this and that. When i had my old amp, it was loud yet the sound from it is as it is. And heavy as F@k to lug around, i thought about practicality. Set and forget and i rarely have to tweak at a venue, my tone is always the same and accurate. More time to play, no rushing to tweak especially when your slot at a gig is like 30 mins. Set up time for me is about 5 minutes.
The Blackstar ID 30 is at 28,500. It comes with the cool Footswitch too. I suggest to try one out.
Anyway here's a video of Gus G using a blackstar ID series for his clinic

How would you guys compare the LT vs HT distortion pedals? Malayo ba tunog ng HT sa LT? Do the HT series sound fuller?
Mukhang linabas na yung ID Core affordable na amps. http://www.blackstaramps.com/products/idcore/
ID Core amps will be coming in hopefully in April. They are on the way, it will have a competitive price which we will be happy with. HT pedals sounds fuller because they have a tube and it's actually a preamp in my opinion, i tried using it with the mixing board in house, it sounded pretty good, the amp became a monitor. LT pedals will be coming in also.
Paging psychic_sushi!!!!! He can attest to the LT pedal because he has one.

Questions lang regarding id series amps.
Read a review online that there is a delay between patch switching? Any comments on this?
Tama ba intindi ko.
The patches on the amp will be like patches on a multi effects pedal? so switch lang ng switch e.g. clean to od1 to od2 to clean with modulation od with modulation?
pati tube type napapalitan ba per patch? or one tube type lang?
Thanks! really thinking of getting a good practice amp to upgrade to. it's either the id:30 or the ht-5r.

Yes. It can be as flexible as a multi if you want it to. Can transform into an entirely different amp (INCLUDING tubes) with each stomp. With effects to boot. Master volume (+presence in the case of ID:60) are global parameters (not saved in patches).
Get the ID:30. Flexible as h3ll... literally delivers the Blackstar premise of "sound in your head"
Edit lang, it STILL depends on your needs and tastes. If SOUND ang pinag-uusapan, the ID30 can go toe-to-toe with HT5 IMO. If SIMPLICITY, PRICE, and INTANGIBLE TUBE MOJO, HT5 If FLEXIBILITY, MP3 IN, and LESS MAINTENANCE, ID30
But what the heck, methinks "Intangible tube mojo" is negligible. Get a blindfold and you will have a hard time discerning which is which.
Hope that helps

Na-GAS ako sa thread na ito at literal na sinimulan ko sa una. Parang nasa gitna pa lang ako di ko na matiis. Anyway, is the HT40 loud enough sa tipong basketball court ang lugar? Kumusta HT amps with pedals? Okay ba sila at low volume? Thanks!

I really didn't pay attention to the Blackstar ID60 when I first saw them shipped to stores, but when I tried one at Phoenix_Rising's house, I was pleasantly surprised at the range of tonz you could get out of that thing. If I wasn't so dependent on fuzz and stacked reverbs, this'd be a one-stop solution for gigging. REALLY looking forward to how the technology develops. Might spring for one in the future.

HT5 users, does anybody use a booster/OD pedal for the overdrive channel?
I'm trying to get a more saturated/tighter distortion.
ano suggestions nyo?
I'm now part of the club!!
loving the ht5
Bro I use a Joyo Roll Boost and a Joyo Overdrive for the HT5. I just do the usual and put the gain on the OD to less than 9 o clock and push the volume to around 3 o clock and its way tight, great for metal. I also have an EQ on the effects loop.

thanks for the reply bro. i recently bought a danelectro CTO v.1 and napansin ko na medyo nawawala yung chunkyness, kapal and thickness ng bass frequencies pag gamit ko yung CTO v.1 pang boost, vs. sagarin ko yung gain ng HT5.
What's your experience?

Thanks sa reply sir. So oks pa rin tunog ng amp kahit pushed ng OD? Ayos sana ID kaso di ko alam kung oks siya with analog pedals.

no experience sa Danelectro pedal bro pero para magka bass ako, may EQ pedal ako sa effects loop saka may low frequency ako sa amp EQ. pero sa setup ko ngayon mas ok kung mids ako sa amp tapos dun yung low end sa effects loop EQ pedal. mas mahilig kasi ako Megadeth na tunog.
pero ang pansin ko kasi sa amp, mas ok talaga tunog nya pag malakas ang volume. talagang hayup ang dating ng gain. pag low volume ako na nasa 7 to 8 o clock e kelangan timpla-timpla sa pedals para maganda yung tunog. saka mabigat yung low end sa higher volume output.

Bought a brand new Blackstar HT-1RW in Arctic White for a very sweet price of $200 and it came with a free Digitech multi-effects pedal.
I have never tried a Blackstar nor I have idea how it sound. All I know is I got it cheap and I was planning to flip it for profit. After the purchase, I went online to check for reviews, articles and demos and I'm now intrigue to open it and try it.

Recently sold a HT1 Metal combo.
I used to have a HT1R combo, decent, but it's not the tone (in my head no pun intended lol) that I was looking for. Sold it and moved to Mesa. Recently, due to unforeseen circumstance, I sold the Mesa and thought of going back to Blackstar.
I was really keen on the ID series, but the guy who's supposed to sell me his backed out last minute. I settled for a HT1 Metal instead. Too much gain for a small amp. Perhaps the 1x8 speaker cannot take too much aggression. I hooked it on a Krank 1x12 cab and it shines. I may not nail the Mesa tones but its good enough for a while.
The HT Metal 60 could be better, more EQ options and bigger speaker.

^^Sir Faceless, ikaw ba ang seller dito ng HT Metal1 sa SOFT Singapore? hehe
Oo chief ako nga, lol, nakascore ka na pala ng ID: 260. HDB friendly ba? lol! San mo nabili? Mahal sa Woodworks e.
Nabenta ko a few days ago yung HT1 Metal, sabog kasi dahil sa 8 inch speaker. Ok naman sa 1x12 cab pero malakas yung feedback. Hi gain din kasi pups ko - Wolfetone Timber Wolfe wound to 16K, plus custom Alnico 8 mags.
OT: yung Mini Rec halos kasabayan ko si Chuck kumuha sa Ebenex, sayang nga binenta ko, lasing ata ko nun napost ko sa ads, bigla may buyer di ko nahindian.
Amp quest pa ako ngayon, pero sana kumuha na lang ako ng ID:15 kesa sa Ht1 metal. oh well... :razz:

Musta ang tone compared sa tube amps?
OT: Oo kasama mo nga pala si Chuck sa Lupa & the Superstars, tapos sa un isang band mo Pariah, right?
RP70 lang yung free. Around $40-$50 din. Ibenta ko nalang to fund future GAS purchase.
Still a good buy! Post some pics out of the box! That WHITEstar HT1RW , err Blackstar.

Mas malaki lang ang headroom ng Orange..(since 20 watts) pero mas gusto ko yung timpla ng Blackstar and mas madali ipair up sa pedals ko..yung orange although clear at may presence yung signal..mayat maya nag tweak ako ng knobs sa amp at sa pedals.. tried to hook the 1x8 cab sa ht 1r..mas malakas ng konti..

Blackstar answered on my email about the production in China and told me
''We have recently changed production of our amplifiers from Korea to China, all of the units are built to the highest standard and are quality checked in the UK. The consistency of quality manufacture has so far been even better from China than it has been previously in Korea so we can assure you there is no quality compromise.''

I bought my amp and had nothing but problems. The store happily replaced my amp twice, and yet the other 2 had the same problem.
I had 3 Blackstar HT 60 amps and lahat sila ay pareparehas ng problem.
These people experience it too!
Sinuli ko yung 3rd replacement amp last sunday, now they are crediting my account to get another brand of amp.

Mahihirapan ka sa clean headroom, unless naka mic siya.
And like all HT5 users they end up breaking their amp because just because na tubo eh sasagarin nila. Tama si papi r_chino18 bebe, better mic it, you get better headroom and you won't kill your amp.

I finally got to update my Blackstar ID:60 and ID:30 to the latest amp firmware. On the ID:30 it's totally worth it. Now the amp has the Resonance, Presence, and Middle knob via the TAP button which became a SHIFT function. Now I can really get closer to the sound of its bigger brother. Best practice amp talaga!

I finally got to update my Blackstar ID:60 and ID:30 to the latest amp firmware. On the ID:30 it's totally worth it. Now the amp has the Resonance, Presence, and Middle knob via the TAP button which became a SHIFT function. Now I can really get closer to the sound of its bigger brother. Best practice amp talaga!

sir bri bago lang yung firmware?
Bigla kang nagkaroon ng ID30? Musta 30 vs 60?

I needed a practice amp so got the ID30. Sulit siya. It's basically the 60 minus 30 watts. With the update, mas umokay tunog at may mid, resonance, at presence na siya.

galing ako lyric today totoo nga ung 50 percent sale grabe blackstar combo dati 36k naging 18k :cry: hindi ko naabutan!
I am totally sane while posting this.
Sa mga music shop dito sa amin, pwede humingi ng tawad ng 20% pag Blackstar amp binili mo pero pag ibang brand ng amp walang tawad. I was wondering why...so tinanong ko yung puti na nagtitinda, malaki daw kasi mark up nila pag Blackstar and may issues Blackstar sa HT series nila.
This was after ko na binalik yung Blackstar ko.
Better hear the other side of the coin diba?

That's actually because of the Governor. With the stock speaker on the HT5R combo, you get a lot of top end even at the clean's tone control @ noon.
Thanks for the reply bro.

Whoever said that is either tricking you or untrained enough to handle the product. Hindi masisira yun. You are fine with either the 110 or 112 but i would recommend the 112.

Finally got an HT5rh. At first I used the speaker of my Fender Pro Junior III since wala pa akong cab. It didn't sound as good as what I heard when I tested the head sa store. Speaker: 30W 8 Ohms matched sa head naman. Ang layo ng tunog ng overdrive if nakakabit sa fender na speakers compared sa HT112. Any idea bakit ganun ang labas sa fender na speaker?

HT5's are fixed bias, but under the chasis could be a trim pot for biasing, the stock 12bh7 works well out of the box,
back then i tried swapping out the stock one with a jj ecc99, the amp became too dark sounding and switch back to the stock one,
who knows if i played around the trim pots what could have happened
thanks sir bryan. :)

Demmit. My HT5 head has the low volume issue. Don't know if it's the power tube because its not available sa Lyric. Swapped out the preamp tubes pero ganun pa rin. Sprayed contact cleaner on the external holes on the amp. Nada.
Rant 1. Doesn't make sense that Lyric doesn't carry the power tubes. Para kang nag benta ng BMW na wala kang replacement parts. :? :? Called the Lyric main office, talked to a 'Mico' from marketing. Sabi sakin they will inform blackstar. Another 'scratch head' moment.

it doesn't get loud as before. Ang hina ng volume. It sometimes returns to its normal loudness when i turn it off and on again. Intermittent. Pero most of the time, ang hina ng loudness miski lakasan ko ng todo.
Fluctuating volume also. I set my volume knob to 9 o'clock for example, tapos hihina, lalakas.

Tanong ko lang po. Sa HT5 po ba, talagang hindi connected yung mga equalization knobs (Terb, mid, bass, ISF,etc.) sa clean channel? Parang Tone knob lang ang pang timpla ng tone sa clean channel.
Title: Re: ★ BLACKSTAR Amps and Pedals Users Thread
Post by: siore on September 03, 2014, 02:34:20 PM
Ganun na nga. You could, as an alternative, almost kill the gain on the dirt channel, and use that for clean. 7 o'clock to 8 on the dial should do it.

BTW bilib din ako sa built-in niyang noise gate. P90s to OD1/KT88 (higain) ang setting ko hindi masyadong noticeable yung hum (at buhay parin yung tunog)

From my limited experience, normal lang talaga umiinit ang amp if kargado ng tubes. To a point na ramdam mo yung init sa panel.
As for the noise you are hearing, I would check the tube din. :) That was the advice I got when I had the same noise sa amp ko.

Different strokes for different folks. I tried to like the roland cube40XL I had before. Cool amp with lots of bells and whistles. But I like the HT-5 better. It feels the same the way I like a peavey bandit way over a line6 spider. Guess I don't need tweakability, or just prefer a rock solid tone, with just a few shaping options.
But don't take my word for it, sometimes I like plugging into a laney cub10 better than the blackstar, for the same reasons. Getting a good core tone so I could focus on playing and technique.

Hi guyz, need an advice regarding my HT-5R, I bought it this June lang via 50% promo at Lyric Shopwise Cubao branch, all of a sudden nawala ang sound, both channel and even mp3 input, I've checked everything amp talaga problem, there is also a same issue na nasa Youtube, tingin nyo Lyric would cover its warranty? I haven't call them yet but I'm planning to go there on Saturday, does anyone encountered this? I've read in Blackstar forums it got something to do with the PCB, manufacturing batch, bad trip natapat pa sakin, ang bigat pa naman ng HT-5R combo, I don't wanna open it baka ma void warranty, does anyone had an experience with this same issue? Thanks :-(

Yung fuse kasi ng mga bagong amps made in china, resettable. In some places instead of the usual glass fuse, they put the yellow flat capacitor looking ones. Lots of china made amps have this issue, and it can be traced back to that tiny part (also made in china). Bad batches maybe, but they also don't seem to use different ones per country. Maybe has something to do with our wall outlet supply as well.

Can I connect this in a cabinet like a normal HT-5R Head? Same kasi sila ng specs sa website. I think the only the difference between them is that this, amp in the link I provided, is a tube combo having 2x10" Celestion speaker. Celestion which also I consider.

reply to my own post regarding the effects loop.
from blackstar forums :razz:
"Switching on the Effects Loop transforms the Emulated Output and MP3/Line Input sockets into ‘Preamp Out’ (for sending a signal to your external effects) and ‘Power Amp In’ (for returning the effected signal to your amp)."

Hi mysmileyface. I understand your situation. I had this intention before. I'd recommend buying a head na lang talaga if your intention is to be flexible sa cabs na gagamitin mo. :) Most heads have multiple output config naman.
If gusto mo talaga yung amp, then the first thing to do is get the impedance of both the speakers. Then make sure na yung ikakabit mo na cab matches the equivalent impedance nung stock speakers. From what I've browsed unmatched loading sa amp will damage it. :)

ask lang sa mga naka ID series..natry nyo na ba yung audio player nung sa Insider? pag nakasaksak yung amp sa laptop ko (usb) wala ako naririnig when the mp3 is playing (even from the laptop)... I was hoping I could hear it thru the amp's speaker or thru the em.out & phones pero pag tinanggal ko yung usb/amp saka naman may sound (thru the laptop's speaker/headphones) ganun ba talaga un???
*after a few seconds...
i guess the USB doesn't transmit audio signal from the laptop when using the mp3 player of the Insider... so just use a cable to the MP3/line in connected sa laptop. I was expecting the USB would be enough to send the signal of the audio playing to the amp and hear it thru the amp's speaker or via the em. output & phones :-D

Post by: rockarolla on November 14, 2014, 10:28:45 AM
pag ht5 combo ok din tapos another ht112 cab under. naka 2x12 ka na. if you're going for the ht5 head, get a 2x12 or 4x12 drivers...not the ht 1x12
Pero baka HT1 1x12 muna kasama ng head ko if ever HT-5R ang bibilhin ko. Budget kasi. I plan to change the cabinet pag nagkaroon na ulit pambili. Kaya talagang sabi nung isang sales staff sa Lyric, pwede raw i-connect sa cabinet yung HT-5TH pero duda ako.

Credit Card can be used pero may 3.5% nga dagdag, then straight payment parin siya upon darating sa billing ng CC.
Same plan ko sana for the ID60, nakakainis lang isipin yung sa 3.5% kaya better kung cash. Magiging kasing price na niya yung ID260 sa discounted cash.

Yung sakin kasi, kasama sa 50% off yung binili ko so okay lang na may 3.5%. Around P600 additional lang to the 50% off price. Sakto rin yung cutoff sa CC kasi almost end of December na babayaran :P

mali nga ata computation ko nung day na tinry ko yung amp. so for ID60 example, 19600 is the 50% price. so 20286 pala siya via straight card payment.
abang nalang ako ng cutoff so january ko pa babayaran. :-P

got Blackstar ID core 10 last Saturday at Lyric Cubao.Well its a good amp for below 20watts.What I really like on this amp is the clean tone when I plug my RJ (Venture series) strat.Clarity and crisp are all present.No buzz,hisses or whatsoever.The only thing that disappoints me is the power cable that is very much similar to a laptop computer.Kaasar bakit hindi na lang nirekta?
Stompbox friendly, I tested Boss Chorus and Boston HM-100, no problemo amigos.Built-in effects are quite good & kick ass.Reverb and Delay are so nice.For me Built in chorus is sooooooooooooo bitin.Distortion/OD wah ako ma-say..You can get a decent metal tone here specially when you twist it on American settings.
I dont know with multi effects kung ano responde nya kapag sinalpak na.
Meron din itong built in guitar tuner.
This is good amp for beginner and advance player.Sana sinagad na rin ng Blackstar nilagyan na rin sana ng drum machine.

Contact many Raul. Ginawa nya kanina ht5r ko. Mas maganda pa sound ngayon kaysa nung bago. He'll explain to you the mod that he's doing to the blackstar circuit. Medyo rampant ata problems sa HT series.
I'm so disappointed with my ht5. I think months ago may post ako sa naging problem ko sa kanya. Kanina ko Lang naipayos. When we opened the amp, there is a tape under the metal casing with note "sound dead"! I Suppose my amp was bought by someone who returned it to lyric. Baka nung try nila gumana so baka binalik Lang sa lyric Cubao at doon ko nga nabili.
Maraming horror stories na ganito per mang Raul even with the other music stores. Ang Maganda lang Ay naayos nya with a simple mod Yung amp.
Lesson: di komo brand new mo binili ay sure ka na functioning ng maayos.
Malas ko Lang late ko na na discover ang problem since I use my ht5 almost exclusively with headphones. Nung Ginamit ko madalas using the internal speaker dun na na discover problem. Humina, nawala sound, at noise na lang lumalabas.
If you are having problems with your amps, particularly a blackstar amp, see someone like many Raul.
Post ko pics nung bottom plate nung amp na sinasabi ko later para makita nyo tape.

Eh sabi nila Blackstar sounds good eh. Well yeah, IF they work properly.
I used to own TWO Blackstar HT Soloist 60, of which I returned after hours of headaches and disappointment.
Never ending crackling sound
FX loop not working
I have to drive back to the store TWICE to have them replaced, and the replacement unit also failed. Imagine that!
I replaced it with a Line 6 DT Series instead.
Never had a problem ever since.

Got an IDCore Stereo 10 last night. So far, very satisfied with the honeymoon.
I really like the Super Crunch mode, gain on 3o'clock. Very tight sounding, even through two 3" speakers.
Modulations, delays and reverbs are a plus too. Not a fan of the ISF knob though. I wish they put in a tone knob instead para hindi lang parang "American to British" na parang presence lang yung ina-adjust.
Yep, not very excited too about the laptop type PSU. Di na nga lang na-built in siguro kasi wala na space for a power transformer.
In summary, great practice amp and bang for the buck at P5,200.00 at Lyric.

I inquired with Mang Raul. I was about to bring my amp to him BUT for some reason nag work ulit hehe.. It's kinda weird though. Kelangan kong isaksak muna yung footswitch before pa i-on yung amp para gumana. Diko pa ulit na try na isaksak yung footswitch na naka on yung amp and think I won't na, mahirap na hehe. So yun, okay naman na. My Blackstar HT-40 sounds great with my teles... so I'm keeping it for good :-) Hail yeah to other Blackstar HT users out there :-)

Same reliability you'd get with other amps made with components from China. Which is a lot of amp brands. I think Blackstar does better in terms of QC.
HT series in particular may have some issues with faulty tubes and resettable fuses. The build otherwise is superb, and a tube change usually fixes things.

interesting...
one reason i only use the computer stuff, e.g. pod xt/ revalver/ etc. is for recording. i don't question the authenticity of the sound. pero i have "cork-sniffer" issues with the feel and response kasi when just playin around.

the warm setting, when the gain knob is turned up sounds pretty nice. imho, don't expect "tube like" over drive. it is decent, but not OMG, I CANT BELEIVE IT levels.
what I plan to do, is to get a TS Mini that's always plugged with the amp to get those nice tube breakup sounds.
the effects though (reverb, delay and modulation) are top notch if you ask me. sounds great on the stereo speakers the idcore sports.

the warm setting, when the gain knob is turned up sounds pretty nice. imho, don't expect "tube like" over drive. it is decent, but not OMG, I CANT BELEIVE IT levels.
what I plan to do, is to get a TS Mini that's always plugged with the amp to get those nice tube breakup sounds.
the effects though (reverb, delay and modulation) are top notch if you ask me. sounds great on the stereo speakers the idcore sports.
thanks! parang gusto ko nga siya for the effects. "matigas" lang talaga ang feel ng emulation. siguro magandang compromise na ito.

one reason i only use the computer stuff, e.g. pod xt/ revalver/ etc. is for recording. i don't question the authenticity of the sound. pero i have "cork-sniffer" issues with the feel and response kasi when just playin around.
how close yun "feel" niya sa tube amp? parang gusto ko for the room cause my kids keep complainin i play too loud when they watch youtube! hahaha!
It won't feel like a tube amp. I only use the warm clean, super crunch and OD1 modes.

Well that answered my question, thanks. Kaso that also means na hindi magandang tumanggap ang ID Core sa pedals?

The ID core was not designed to have pedals IMHO i just love the effects on it very much tweakable delay patches are superb and the reverb is not that bad either

does it feel "stiff"?
I'm actually stoppin myself from checkin out the stuff over at lyric. mukha kasing mapapabili ako ng ht5 or ht20 heads. either that or the 6505+ mh na naka dungaw sa display!

para sakin, mejo stiff, but it's leaps better than the fender/roland counterparts. it sounds hi fi. if you really want a tube sound may ht1 or cub8/10 kung bedroom lang naman.

kung meron sana nung ht1 na head. pero parang wala na daw stock.
sabi sa kin nung taga lyric, the last time na may nag-test ng ht1 combo, gumagapang daw yun combo while the dude was testin it out. maybe too much vibration or somethin. nauwi daw sa ht5 combo kasi di daw nag-rattle.

thanks sa reply sir. actually ang habol ko yung saved patches ko sa JamUp without always using earphones. tried it using my Vox amp pero di maganda tunog kasi amp modeller yun. ayaw ko naman ng ipad and powered speaker setup kasi baka kailanganin ko din someday ang amp mismo. nagcheck ako nung IDCore20 kaso wala pala effects loop yun.

ah gets paps. yung LINE IN niya can be used in conjuction with the ipad. the IDCORE speakers are somewhat FRFR so pwede siya gawing music player, or loudspeaker for your ipad. do note though that the IDcore amps are not gig worthy hahaha.

Thanks for the inputs on the third prong guys. Katakot lang yung fatal voltages in case mag topak yung amp. I was thinking the third prong is there (or should be there) to save my life haha.
Any of you using an AVR? Yung tipong pang desktop PC? I was thinking aside from keeping the voltage clean baka it can make the amp safer to operate haha.

Konting paalala lang po mga sirs...
If you plug a 3-prong appliance into an AVR, extension cord or even an Isolation Transformer that accepts 3-prong plugs but plug the latter devices into a 2-prong outlet, there is still a shock risk. Good quality AVRs that come stock with a 2-prong plug will usually have a grounding screw somewhere on the casing which needs to be attached to ground to enable the protection. Pulling out the 3rd prong from a power cord for plugging into a regular 2 prong outlet will not be bad for the amp but if the wiring in the house was poorly done, it could lead to possible shock. Even houses with 3-prong outlets may still not be properly grounded as some, if not most, Meralco areas do not have the ground-enabled mains power line. Best to have your 3-prong power outlets checked if it's properly working and have a ground wire attached if needed. The addition of a ground wire need not be done to the entire house and could be limited to the outlet/s where you plug your amp. Aside from having more protection from shock, using a properly grounded outlet will also drastically reduce amp noise.

Thanks for this bro. I guess we are all at the mercy of the quality of the electrical wiring at the gig venues. All power outlets at our condo have 3-prong jacks so i guess they wired it properly. The power outlet that I use on stage when I play in church also accepts 3-prong power cords. Would it be safe to buy a replacement power cord for my HT5RH that has the 3-prong jack?

Yes, you can. Just try to avoid those 3-prong power cords from computer stores as they are flimsy and noisy. I would suggest trying to get them from Hi-Fi stores. Some have the generic black ones intended for AV systems. Those are visually slightly thicker than those for PCs and have higher amperage load ratings.

Thanks bro. This is the power cord that came with my HT5RH. I think someone pulled-out the third prong. I'll check out audio stores to find a compatible one. Thanks again for the advice.

Might as well get a cord with a plug for the socket you use regularly (2 flat prongs with 1 round ground prong). Mas madaming ganun available here, I should think.

May ID Core 10 ako dati and found the same "problem" that you have regarding sustain that cuts out.
Apparently, hindi sya problem talaga. Naka "on" lang by default yung built in noise gate nung amp. You need to download the Blackstar Insider software then connect niyo yung amp sa PC then turn off the noise gate via the software.
Ok rin kasi ang daming tone shaping na possible via the software tapos save na lang sa amp as presets. :)

I am looking for an ID Core 10 pr still choosing other options for a practice AMP. Currently all Lyric branches I've visited don't have them in stock (even the FLY). I haven't tried to call other branches yet though.
Again thank you in advance! (Amp-less for almost a year already)

Thanks! Kaso wala pang difference sa sound kasi unloaded pa yan. Hence, "patungan". haha. Naghahanap pa ako ng 16ohms na V30
Oh! I see. Actually, I think mayrong impact sa bottom end whenever you raise your amp off the floor. Pero once loaded na yung cab mo that setup will definitely move a lot of air man.

Finally was able to buy my practice Amp. :D
I recently got this ID Core 10 V2 from Lyric. (The Sale announcement was late though, I should've gotten the V1 Red haha)
Here's a trial video I made testing the Bright Clean channel of the amplifier.

meron lng additional envelop filter ung ID:Core V2. Konting enhancement sa 6 voices (but clearly better voicing naman than V1) And there's a free bundled presonus DAW software
Thank you sir Ralph_Petrucci for the details regarding the changes. Hindi ko rin siya ma-compare sa V1 since this is my first for the ID Core series.
I am not sure if the code it had with the Presonus software is limited to one time installation only or is already unlocked if ever I logged on with an account.

Thanks sir Boybawang! >___< pinaka ayos ko na yung dalawang quote mali pa basa ko.
Will be trying this weekend the presonus software, kailangan pala serial number at proof of purchase. Hopefully hindi limited to one installation lang yung nakita kong code included sa Amp.
