Time-tested Blackstar Head Upgraded with CabRig Technology
With 20 watts of tube-driven power, the Blackstar HT-20R MK III takes the classic combo amp to new heights, featuring fresh aesthetics and advanced CabRig technology. This 1 x 12-inch combo amplifier offers a pristine clean channel alongside a dynamic overdrive channel, each equipped with a dedicated 2-position Voice control to tailor your sound. Tone enthusiasts will appreciate the comprehensive Overdrive channel, which includes a 3-band EQ and Blackstars proprietary ISF control, allowing for a seamless transition from classic American grit to high-gain British intensity.
The built-in power scaling lets you reduce the output to just 2 watts, providing rich overdrive and powerful distortion at manageable volumes. Its robust effects loop makes integrating your favorite pedals effortless. Enhanced with CabRig DSP simulation output via 1/4-inch, XLR, or USB, and featuring USB audio interface functionality, the HT-20R MK III is just as versatile in the studio as it is on stage, making it an essential addition for any guitarist seeking exceptional tone.
