About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
Designed and prototyped in a one car garage in Austin, Texas, by none other than amp savant, Pyotr Belov, the Handsome Devil evokes classic tube tones more than reminiscent of the great American and British, plug and play workhorses that laid the foundation for Rock and Roll guitar tone starting in the '60s.
Just like its predecessor and little brother, the Little Giant 5, the BHE Handsome Devil is overbuilt to last with features and components you'd expect on a hand built, much more expensive piece of gear. Both the head and combo feature dual power modes allowing the Gods of Rock to dial in responsiveness and headroom in either 15W or 7W output. Separate Master and Level controls put both awesome power and responsibility in the unwashed hands of mankind. 3 Bands of well-tuned EQ make for nearly infinite voicing.
From big fat overdrive to plucky, just-about-to-squeal if you hit me a little harder grease, the Handsome Devil covers classic tube tone with as few knob turns as possible through a well thought out set of features in a tough as a tank package.
As expected, you get the simple elegance and robust component specs that mark BHE's designs. From 1W, carbon-film resistors in the signal path to beefy, double sided pcb with 2 oz traces, 16 gauge, precision folded and welded chassis and mutli-ply, classically joined cabinetry, Blackheart is as serious about quality as they are about tone.
Available in a surprisingly compact head or single (but looking) 12-inch combo (BH15-112) featuring the specially designed 1216B Eminence speaker developed by Blackheart Engineering and Eminence Speakers.
Outputs: 1 x 16 ohm jack, 2 x 8 ohm jacks, 2 x 4 ohm jacks
Solid State Rectifier with tap for future mods
Drive, Level, Treble, Mid, Bass and Presence controls
Outputs: 1 x 16 ohm jack, 2 x 8 ohm jacks, 2 x 4 ohm jacks
Pentode (15 Watts)/Triode (7 Watts) Switch
DC Power to filaments for super quiet operation
15 ply (18mm) thick-void free plywood construction
1 Watt resistors in signal path, 2W & 5W resistors in power supply

With classic tone and modern features, this Handsome Devil is a real charmer. 15 watts of Class "A" tube operation switchable to 7 watts, because variety is the spice of life. Speaking of which: 1x16 ohm, 2x8 ohm, or 2x4 ohm operation can handle any cab-configuration you pair it with. Single-channel with master volume keeps things simple, yet raunchy.

Blackheart BH15H Handsome Devil Guitar Amplifier Head (15 Watts) Reviews
8 out of 10
"Fantastic little amp!"
Feature:
Wish it had an effects loop and reverb but it works without it fine.
Quality:
Very well made. Tolex and piping is tight. The unit has some weight to it as to not feel cheap yet is easy to carry.
Value:
It's a great amp for the money. Remember that it's not a Mesa or a Marshall but they don't claim it to be. It's just a great warm tube amp for the studio or garage or small room. Give it a try, you won't be sorry
Sound:
Great blues, rock tone. Has plenty of volume. Use pentode side with a metal muff for good metal sound.
Ease of Use:
There is nothing about it that is hard to understand. Easy to understand complete manual.
Support:
Haven't needed anthing yet.

"NICE OVERPRICED AMP."
Feature:
Like I said....needs reverb or an effects loop.
Quality:
Better built than your average Asian import.
Value:
Price is a touch too high in a this market...there are a lot of good inexpensive tube amps out now with as good tone and better features for less money.
Sound:
I like the sound of this amp and I would have already bought one if it had reverb OR on effects loop. I Like a splash of reverb and or delay and putting these effects in front of an amp just does not get it.
Ease of Use:
Simple to use
Support:
N/A
Overall:
I think they are going to have to lower their price or add a new model with reverb and or a good effects loop. Since this amp first hit the street and the present, several manufacturers have put out amps that make it hard to justify the price considering the lack of features...I'd rather have the little Blackstar or the Vox 4 watt ACTVH or even one of the Fender XD amps...This amp relies on hype, the "cool" name and logo, "cool" website catches the kids but it's a tough sell for those going by value. Not a bad amp but too expensive.
