The Blackstar HT-1RH MK III 1W tube guitar amp head packs pro-level tone into a compact, portable powerhouse. Designed for guitarists who prefer the flexibility of separate speaker cabinets, this versatile amp head drives anything from 4 to 16 ohms so you can craft your ideal setup. It provides the same fully featured dual-channel design and footswitchable options as the HT-1R combo in a road-ready head format.

Iconic Valve Tone on the Go

Thanks to a single ECC83 preamp tube and ECC82 power amp tube, the HT-1RH MK III delivers the harmonic richness and touch-sensitive dynamics that made valve amplifiers legendary. Crank it up to experience the full overdriven roar of an all-tube signal path. At just 1W, this miniature amp head lets you achieve cranked tube tone at lower volumes, perfect for practice, studio work or small gigs. The power reduction feature provides more attenuation for recording direct or playing at home.

Shape Your Tone With Infinite Shape Feature

The HT-5RH MK III's Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) lets you blend between American and British voicings for a range of classic and modern tones. Twist the ISF knob to go from bold midrange to open and airy or dial in anything in between. With the flexibility of the ISF, this little amp head can produce some very big sounds.

Advanced Connectivity

While compact in size, the HT-1RH MK III provides pro-level connectivity for any application. It features a USB output to record directly to your computer, an emulated line out with CabRig technology for sending a mic'd amp tone to FOH and a headphone output for silent practice. The preamp output can drive external power amps for more volume on stage. With the Architect software, you can fine-tune the amp's parameters from your computer.

Versatile Performance and Recording Tool

With outputs for 4- to 16-ohm speaker cabinets as well as XLR, stereo headphone and USB connections, the HT-1RH MK III functions as both a performance amplifier and recording tool. Use it to drive your favorite speaker cabinets on stage or in the studio. The XLR and USB outs provide high-quality direct recording options, allowing you to capture your tone directly into a mixer, interface or DAW. The stereo headphone out is ideal for silent practice and editing tones via Blackstar's Architect software.
