Blackstar HT-5RH: a compact tube head with full-stack tone and pro-level versatility
Finding a compact amplifier that delivers true tube tone without compromise isn’t easy — but the Blackstar HT-5RH proves it’s possible. This powerful 5-watt head is designed for players who demand rich tone, flexibility, and professional features in a portable format.
🔹 Compact head format — full functionality
The Blackstar HT-5RH offers the same capabilities as the HT-5R combo, but in a convenient head format.
🎯 It can easily drive cabinets up to 4x12".
🎯 Loud enough for home practice, studio sessions, and even small gigs.
👉 A perfect balance between portability and performance.
🔸 True tube tone at any volume
Thanks to its unique 5-watt push-pull design, this amp delivers rich harmonics and dynamic response even at low volumes.
🔥 The tone remains full, warm, and expressive — just like a high-powered tube amp.
This approach is trusted by professional artists such as Testament, who mic the amp for larger venues.
🔹 Two channels — from clean to high gain
The amp features two fully functional channels:
- Clean
- Overdrive
🎸 The Volume control on the clean channel allows tones from pristine clean to light crunch.
🎸 The Gain control on the overdrive channel delivers everything from mild breakup to aggressive high-gain distortion.
👉 Simple controls, professional results.
🔸 Stereo MP3 / Line input for practice
A built-in stereo input makes practicing easier than ever.
🎧 Connect:
- smartphone
- laptop
- music player
👉 Play along with backing tracks and improve your skills.
🔹 Unique tube design
The amplifier uses:
- ECC83
- 12BH7
⚙️ The 12BH7 operates in dual amplification stages, creating a more complex tonal response.
⚙️ The preamp section uses a 12AX7 tube for classic tube character.
👉 This design delivers depth and clarity rarely found in compact amps.
🔸 ISF — shape your signature tone
The patented Blackstar ISF control offers incredible tonal flexibility.
🎛️ Combined with a 3-band EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble), you can:
- dial in British-style crunch
- achieve modern American high-gain tones
- create your own unique sound
👉 It’s more than EQ — it’s total tonal control.
🔹 Why ISF stands out
• Passive circuit with musical response
• Affects the entire frequency range
• Keeps EQ controls fully interactive
• Provides virtually unlimited tonal variations
• Exclusive to Blackstar products
🔸 Built for studio and stage
The Blackstar HT-5RH includes everything needed for modern guitarists:
🎚️ Emulated output for recording or silent practice
