zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. Blackstar HT-40 Club Amp Customer Review

Sound: This is a VERY high-gain amplifier. If you play any kind of rock from classic to heavy metal, this amp will allow you to do it with no pedals. Even though it has the "American to British" switch, it's very hard to get a loose type breakup like a Fender Blues Deluxe, for example. The distortion is very smooth and clean. The word boutique gets thrown around a lot. the cleans are amazing and boutique-like, but this amp does not have the crystalline clear high end and overtones of a Boogie. If it is lacking anything, it's the loose trebly distortion that some people like. For so few knobs however, it makes a LOT of sounds. The digital reverb is the missing link. It's just very poor sounding. Feature: Well built, easy to use, very solid. Gave it an eight because it has digital reverb that sticks as opposed to a real reverb tank. Ease of Use: It is a very easy amp to use, but the voicing switches give it a lot of versatility. It's going to take a few days to dial in. Not like a Fender where you set your two tones and forget it. There's a lot to learn here and it's a new way of looking at tone stacks. Quality: Exceptionally well made. No issues here whatsoever. Value: Great value. It takes a triple rec at 4x the price to get these sounds normally. Manufacturer Support: Don't know yet. I haven't needed any support. But I'm going to call this week to get some info on setting up more treble in the tone stack. The Wow Factor: It's a sexy amp. And the downright affordable extension speaker doesn't hurt. Overall: I will be using this one until it dies. It's the kind of amp that will grow with you as you lean all the things it can do. And this amp can do LOTS of things.

"Blackstar Club HT-40 is one of the best amps I've owned!"

Sound: This amp sounds terrific on it's own. The clean channel is clean and the distortion ranges from barely breaking up to the dirtiest metal and pretty much everything in between. Very small tweaks of the distortion make a lot of difference and with the different voicings you get extra gain as well. Some people are less than pleased with the clean channel, but remember that most of us are using pickups that shy away from perfectly clean, and no amp can take away from a distorted input from the pickups. For the money and the sound quality, you should be jumping on this amp. Feature: The reverb leaves a lot to be desired but since I'm using a BOSS GT-10, I just shut the amp's reverb off and it's no longer an issue. The amp's voicings are good and the bypass is terrific. If you're using pedals for modulated effects, set your tone on the amp, run your pedals through the bypass and add whatever you like. The patches in my GT-10 have their distortion and overdrive shut off...the OD and distortion in this amp is more than good enough! Really, if you're using effects pedals or a full-on modeling floorboard, this amp is for you. It's got plenty of volume for most users. Ease of Use: There's really no learning curve for this amp, so just a few suggestions: Turn the power on at least a few minutes before you play it. I go a full hour with the amp in standby then at least 15 minutes with the tubes hot and my GT-10 in tuner mode so there's no output from the amp. When you first use the amp, set your clean and drive channels so their volume is equal, set your tone, EQ, etc and use the master volume to control it all. You can turn the master volume full up and control the volume with your pedal setup as well, getting the most out of your tubes. Quality: Cosmetically the amp is terrific. It has a classy look to it, it's definitely sturdy and like most amps, the covering is durable. I'm especially happy with the grill cloth. It's obviously heavy duty and it looks good too. I was surprised by the weight, a mere 20 pounds less than my old 5150 II! I've only had the amp a month, so no way to gauge reliability over time yet. I've seen no warning signs of anything that might be a problem down the road though. If I had the money, I'd get another! Value: I was going to buy the Marshall 50 but found this one and did a lot of research as well as reading on it in online forums. I saved about $400 and am glad I picked the Blackstar. Face it, I wasn't going to get JCM mojo from their 50 watt amp and I'd put this amp up against that one any day. I honestly did not expect to get a tube amp this good for a mere $700! I almost went with a used 5150 II but ya never know about that used stuff. The 5150 II was THE best amp I ever owned. It's a shame they aren't made any more and no, the 6250 isn't the same! Manufacturer Support: It comes with a 3 year warranty with 90 days on the tubes but there is an oddity you should be aware of. US warranty services are supplied by Korg, not Blackstar. When I contacted Korg about getting the registration to them, I was told that they don't know when the page for registering Blackstar amps will be online again, but that with my original receipt, warranty service will be vailable for 3 years from the date of purchase. I'm sure they are right but I prefer to have my ducks in a row, like to know that my stuff is properly documented with those that may have to service it some day. I sent in a registration card that came with the amp, but I'd rather do it online. Be aware too that the serial number is really really small and very long. Rather than try to read the sticker, I photographed it and then read from the photo. Those numbers are way too small! The Wow Factor: The looks, price and sound of this amp really says it all. Since I can't actually use a Marshall JCMxxxxx, why cry about it? This is 40 watts of amazing sounding amplifier. It sounds best when cranked but is more than respectable when used inside the house as well. Overall: If it was stolen, I'd buy another, yeah, absolutely. All of my effects are in my GT-10 so no need to go looking for the latest and greatest in amps anymore. I don't have a use for anything larger and am too old to worry about how cool a stack would look lol. This amp does it's job and it does it well! Better than you'd expect for $700!

Style of Music: Rock n roll, baby!
