    Default Blackstar

    Does anyone here have any experience with the small Blackstar amphs?

    The HT Studio 20 looks interesting to me.

    I know that Blaze has an HT-5. I know there's been some threads about it.

    Thanks Marnold.

    Yeah, I certainly should have used the search first!

    It sounds like it'd be a sweet amph, but I just tried a Tweaker again today and it's really the bees knees for the tone that I'm after.

    Anyone interested in a GW bass???

    It may have to go to get a tweaker...

    NWBasser,

    I have the HT-20 combo, and it is a very sweet sounding amp. The clean channel is very sweet and useable, and the drive channel can do anything you want due to the huge amount of gain on tap. The only thing I would say is that it is not a bedroom amp, it needs volume to sound its best, but when you do crank it, tonal bliss occurs...

    My favourite youtube vid atm demonstrating the amp is this

    I've been playing some humbuckers through it recently and it loves them. Very versitile amp that needs more exposure IMO
