The BH5-112 is the Little Giant with huge tone. It is Blackheart made 5W, Single-Ended, Class A combo amp powered by an EL84 and voice through a 12AX7 pre-amp tube. This combo delivers truly classic boutique amplifier design in a robust, stylish package.

Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (12 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Blackheart Combo..Great Tone...Easy to use"
Sound: It does not get much simpler than this amp. But that is why I bought it. It is what it is and does it well. Great clean tones, classic overdrive sound. I prefer the overdrive with a good pedal in front of it, but that is just me. Pretty damn loud too for 5/3 watts. Combo is a little bass heavy once you turn it up past 4, but roll back on the bass knob and you are back to rock! Feature: Basic and easy to dial in a good tone Quality: Surprisingly heavy and well constructed for the $..these are going to go up in price very soon.. Value: You are not going to do any better at this point in time.. Manufacturer Support: not sure yet The Wow Factor: Very cool and the ladies dig it

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Awesome."
Sound: Loud. Very loud. The volume goes higher than I can bear when standing near it. This is a good thing. Also, it sounds nice. Great quality sound, and with the Treble/Mid/Bass controls, I can tweak it just right. It sounds awesome when overdriven, but I don't push it that hard, I use a pedal for distortion. Feature: It has everything a basic combo amp would need. Treble/Mid/Bass controls, 3/5 watt switch, and of course the standard volume control. Moreover, it has the output jacks for various speaker cabs. The built in speaker is attached through the 16 ohm jack, so you can disconnect it and use the whole thing as a five-watt head for a louder or quieter speaker, if necessary. Ease of Use: Pretty straightforward. Lobotomy patients would be able to use it correctly with no trouble. Quality: No issue with quality. Everything came in perfect shape, and it feels very sturdy. Quality materials were used in its construction. Value: Definitely worth it's selling price, especially considering that it's a tube amp. Good sound, good quality construction, and has all the necessary features. Blackheart definitely produced a good value with this one, considering Marshall charges considerably more for a similar quality amplifier. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had to contact them. The Wow Factor: Aside from the logo (sorry Blackheart, I'm just not digging it), everything looks nice. I actually took the logo off (it's screwed into place, and without it, I like the look better than any other amplifier I've seen. As far as desirability, it won't be as desirable as a Marshall would, but that's only because of the name. But then again, a name doesn't make the music any better or worse. Overall: I will probably supplement this amp with some different speaker cabs, but beyond that, I don't see myself replacing it any time soon. If this one ends up lost or stolen, I'd definitely purchase this amp a second time to replace it. I picked this amplifier because I needed a nice tube amp, but I didn't want to buy one from a company that would charge a lot just because the name. Blackheart made a good quality amp, and they're selling it at a good price.
