Blackstar HT-5R MKIII Combo Amp

State-Of-The-Art Voicing Circuitry

Each Voice switch initiates extensive circuit changes in both the preamp and power amp, including EQ voicing, tone stack position, gain, and power amp damping. This provides unique flexibility in tonal options—all at the press of a single switch!

Two Footswitchable Channels and Voices

The HT-5R MK III features two footswitchable clean and overdrive voicings. On the clean channel, choose between a bright and pristine American setting with a solid and tight bass response or a classic British setting with looser bass response and a warmer mid-range, sensitive to your guitar output and playing dynamics.

On the overdrive channel, choose between a classic hot-rodded setting with medium power amp damping or a modern setting with a strong mid-emphasized pre-overdrive boost and a looser, more aggressive sound due to reduced power amp damping.

All channels and voices are footswitchable with the optional 2-way FS-22 and FS-16 Footswitch, providing a wide selection of accessible valve tones.

Full Tone, Low Volumes

The HT-5R MK III is designed to deliver a full sound even at the lowest volumes. This is achieved using a single dual-triode valve as a push-pull power stage, mimicking the dynamics of a 100W stack!

Stunning Looks

We made no compromises in aesthetics. The HT-5R MK III features upgraded cosmetics, including premium tolex, high-quality mini toggle switches, and a cast alloy metal plate logo—materials typically found only on boutique amplifiers.
