The HT Metal 5 Valve Head features a unique push-pull amp design, that delivers the crunchy, high gain characteristics of a 100W output stage, but with lower power and volume. The push-pull configuration produces 5 Watts of output and provides excellent valve harmonics, and plenty of powerful tones to create the sound that you require.
The Blackstar HT Metal 5 Valve Head is loaded with a whole range of features that allow precise tonal shaping, so that you can find your ideal, heavy metal sound. There are two channels on-board that can be selected via the footswitches; these include Clean or Overdrive. The Clean channel can be sculpted via the Volume control for increased output, and the Tone knob lets you choose between a warm, dark tone or light and bright. The Overdrive Channel can be adjusted using the Gain control for a full, distorted and crunchy sound, whilst the Volume increases the projection.
No Blackstar amp would be complete without the patented ISF control. This easy-to-use function enables players to achieve the choice of two iconic tones at the turn of a dial. When turned counter clockwise, the amp delivers a classic American characteristic, with a tight bottom end. When turned clockwise, the amp delivers a classic British tone with a woody texture. ISF is perfect for players who like a variety of tones and styles, and ideal for cover bands who might feature both tones.
Blackstar's HT Metal Series are designed especially for metal guitarists, with their fierce, aggressive yet highly adjustable tones. The series range from amps that can be used for practicing in the bedroom, to ones that will travel the world's stages with you. The series not only sound metal, but they look metal too - with their black metal grilles, metal panels and black hardware; this HT Metal amp has the ultimate package.
