EL84 Power Stage
EL84s are at the tonal heart of the HT-20R MK III combo and head. We applied our decades of valve amp design experience to combine the response and character of this classic British valve with a carefully voiced preamp to create wonderfully lush valve tones. From pure boutique cleans, to mild overdrive that cleans up by backing off the guitar volume control, right up to saturated distortion, this amp does it all.
Concentrated, to Concert-rated
The HT-20R MK III comes equipped with a power reduction feature taking you down to 2W without any tonal compromise, perfect for driving those EL84’s hard at manageable volumes in the studio or home.
When you’re ready to take to the stage, switch to full 20W and utilise the XLR DI output to simultaneously feed direct to the sound engineer with incredible sounding cabinet simulation via our CabRig™ IR-based speaker simulator software.
Perfect for Playing & Recording
Alongside providing capture-ready valve tones at any volume, the HT-20R MK III comes equipped with a direct USB-C output which can send 2 channels (left and right) to your DAW, ensuring the easiest way to capture authentic valve tone in recordings without the need for an interface.
The best part? These amps have in-built load protection, meaning you can use them without a cabinet connected for silent practice and recording.
IR-based CabRig™ speaker simulator
CabRig™, our class-leading IR-based speaker simulator comes as standard in the HT-20R MK III, offering hundreds of different cabinet, mic, and room combinations. Save your favourites to three presets for easy access directly from the amplifier. Get premium valve tones into your headphones, monitors and mixes.
What does HT mean?
‘HT’ stands for ‘High Tension’ and refers to the high voltages used in valve circuits like HT MK III. The HT name goes back to the very beginning of Blackstar and our first products: the HT valve pedals.
NEW CabRig™ IR-based speaker simulator technology
CabRig™ is our advanced IR-based speaker simulator, delivering mic’d up guitar cab sounds with unparalleled detail. With zero latency and superior flexibility over IR snapshots, CabRig™ perfectly simulates cabinets and rooms. Dive into its software for exceptional tones via USB or headphones.
Choose Your Cabinet Response
The HT-112OC and HT-212VOC cabinets come equipped with a removable rear panel – this allows the user to easily switch between a closed back for a tight low-end, to a semi-open back for a wide mid-range.
Stage Ready
Connect a two-button footswitch for full stage control over the HT-20R MK III’s channels and voice settings. FX loop and pro XLR CabRig output DI complete the stage ready package.
Studio Quality Reverb
Our studio quality reverb has been referenced against the most revered vintage and modern reverb units, designed to perfectly complement guitar tones.
Stunning Looks
In terms of looks we accepted no compromise. We have introduced upgraded cosmetics including premium tolex, high quality mini toggle switches and a cast alloy metal plate logo. Materials usually only found on boutique amplifiers.
