EL34s deliver 100W of Blackstar's immense tube tone and incredible versatility.

The Blackstar HT Stage 100 tube amp head uses a quartet of selected EL34 power tubes to deliver 100W of British dynamics with 3 channels, delivering 6 modes for amazing tonal versatility. The 'boutique' style clean channel has 2 modes: 'British Class A' and 'dynamic US'. Each of the amp head's 2 ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)-equipped overdrive channels accesses a further 2 modes.

The Clean Channel has 2 modes, 'boutique' and 'modern' and its own Tone control provides a wide range of clean tones. The Voice switch reconfigures both the preamplifier voicing and gain structure, and the power amplifier damping, to reproduce either ringing Class A Performance in the 'boutique' mode, or very clean and tight Class AB tones in the amp head's 'modern' setting.

The Overdrive Channel on the Blackstar guitar amp head has its own EQ section and a Voice switch that allows the character of the channel to be changed, providing a wide variety of overdriven tones. The channel is characterized by a tone that's high in gain, but lacks any of the detached top-end 'fizz' often found in similar designs. This is a result of unique preamplifier and power amplifier shaping techniques, which cleans up the overdrive beautifully as the guitar volume is reduced. Even at the most extreme settings, the overdrive channel remains natural sounding. The Blackstar Venue HT-100H amp head's ISF control is unique to Blackstar Amplification and represents a major step forward in tone shaping flexibility.

The ISF control shifts the response of the 3-control tone stack between a US-type response at one end, and at the other a UK-type response. The Blackstar Venue tube amp head has an infinite number of alternative tone choices in between the 2 extremes that would be otherwise unavailable.

The Blackstar HT-100H amp head also features a completely natural sounding digital reverb, which is outstandingly musical on both clean and crunch tones and raises the benchmark for guitar amplifier specific reverb design. A Dark/Bright switch allows the overall reverb characteristics to be modified to suit different tastes and playing styles.

  • 100-watt valve amp head
    2xECC83, 1xECC82, 4xEL34

  • Wow

    As reviewed by Jeff on 6/7/2010

    ^ only word that describes this amp. First time i plugged it in i was blown away. Normally i use mesa boogie amplifiers, but this thing blew those out of the water. it had crystal clear cleans, very super light distortion (for when you just want a tad of gain to the cleans) and it had extreme distortion for death metal. i cant believe how versatile the amp was, i played nearly everything on it and i could not get a bad tone out of it. from what i've heard, this was created by a few guys who we were working for marshall, but left to start their own amp company because jim marshall wouldn't let them add this stuff to it. Glad they left, cause this is an amazing amp. if you want good tones, would definitely check this out!

  • Versital

    As reviewed by Mike Stults on 5/30/2010

    Extremely versital amp with excellent tone options at an incredible price. I used to own a huge pro pedal board with many very high end dist. & OD pedals (Radial Tonebones, MXR, Boss, Tubescreamers, etc.) feeding a quality 100 watt tube head and Marshall 1960 cab. My sound was great, but I was tired of hauling around a flight deck and not having room on-stage. So I traded it all in for this head - no dissapointments here! This amp gives me 6 distinct quality voices that are much more natural and usable than any pedal system I have ever used (I have had the best). I run a delay, a 6-band eq and a chorus through the effects loop and for added flexibility and it offers every style with pristine tone. While everyone will praise the INF control and huge range of fat distortion tones, its the clean channel Class A "botique" option that really sets this amp apart. This is THE sound for country lead and rolling stones territory. As far as overdrives, it is a breeze to dial up Eric Johnson, The Who, Bonomassa, Clapton, Satriani, ZZ Top, Tesla, Vai and Dream Theater tones. Add an 6-band e.q. for infinite control. The specs say this is a 3-channel amp with 2 modes per channel. However, it is more like a 3-channel amp with 8 modes (the INF adds 2 character options for each of the distortion channels). Live: I love having the speaker emulated out. The footswitch is high quality. The Reverb, Resonance and Presence controls allow me to find the perfect mix per venue style. BRAVO!

  • Fantastic

    As reviewed by dan on 10/22/2010

    I was going to grab a marshall jcm but I ran into this Blackstar and I was blown away. The overdrive 1 has awesome marshall crunch and and overdrive 2 is very good as well. The clean is beautiful and versatile. The build is amazing. Get this amp and never look back!
