Description
From Our Catalog
News
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. With a switchable Pentode/Triode selector and 3-Band EQ controls you get the only amp in its class to deliver true tonal range from instantaneous punch to deliciously greasy overdrive and with precise control over output volume.

Every feature of the Blackheart Little Giant BH5-112 represents zealous dedication to true quality in tone, looks and ruggedness. The open back tuned design and (blue frame) Blackheart model 1216A by Eminence speaker is the fruit of extensive research involving Crate and Eminence and the result is a very musical and responsive cabinet.

Under its sexy exterior you'll find a 16 gauge, folded and welded steel chassis, 1/2 inch corner radiuses, 15 ply, void-free birch cabinetry and meticulous tolex work insuring years of reliable performance.

"Blackheart Combo..Great Tone...Easy to use"
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..

Desirability:
Very cool and the ladies dig it

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!

Support:
