Blackstar HT-1R MK III 1x8 1 Watt Combo
Brand New. Authorized Dealer
HT-1R MK III — Big Valve Tone. Compact Perfection.
We’ve just unpacked the brand-new Blackstar HT-1R MK III, and it instantly proved itself as the ultimate small valve amp for home and studio players. This updated model takes everything that made the MkII iconic and elevates it with richer voicings, a modern recording workflow and the powerful IR-based CabRig™ engine built directly into the amp.
Huge Valve Character at Home-Friendly Volume
The MK III delivers the dynamic feel, crunch and natural compression of a fully driven valve stage — the kind of tone usually only available from a loud 100W amplifier.
Its unique push-pull power section built around ECC82 achieves that same warm and responsive performance, but at levels perfect for home use.
Four Core Voices — Two Channels, Two Voicings Each
Both the Clean and Overdrive channels offer two unique Voice modes. Each Voice position performs deep circuit changes: EQ voicing, tone-stack placement, gain structure and power-amp damping.
With one switch, you can go from pristine American sparkle to warm British character — and from classic hot-rodded overdrive to a modern, aggressive voice.
Built for Playing AND Recording
With its USB-C stereo output, capturing authentic valve tone has never been easier — no interface required.
The built-in load protection means the HT-1R MK III can run without a speaker cabinet, making it perfect for silent practice or late-night tracking.
CabRig™ IR-Based Speaker Simulation
CabRig™ provides hundreds of cabinet, mic and room combinations with zero latency. Three favourites can be stored directly on the amplifier, letting you access studio-grade tones on headphones, monitors or recordings instantly.
