DESCRIPTION

The Blackstar HT-1R MKIII is a compact, 1-watt tube combo amplifier that delivers surprisingly rich tone and dynamic response in a size perfect for home practice, bedroom jamming, or studio recording. With genuine valve warmth courtesy of an ECC83 preamp and ECC82 power amp tube, this amp punches well above its weight. Designed with a unique push-pull power amp section, the HT-1R MKIII offers boutique-level tone at low volumes, making it ideal for capturing authentic tube character without cranking the volume.

It features two channels—Clean and Overdrive—with footswitchable voices for tonal flexibility, as well as a USB-C output for direct recording. Blackstar’s advanced CabRig cabinet simulation lets you dial in authentic speaker cabinet tones straight into your DAW or headphones, while a newly voiced reverb adds studio-quality ambience. A single 8" speaker delivers clear and defined tone, and an extension speaker jack gives you room to expand. Whether you're tracking in the studio or practicing quietly at home, the HT-1R MKIII gives you genuine tube performance without compromise.
