Features
The HT-5 is the ultimate studio and practice amp, packing all the great tone and
innovative features of the award-winning HT valve pedals into a two channel,
footswitchable valve amp format. The patented ISF (Innite Shape Feature) circuit
gives you innite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control network
and takes you from the USA to the UK and anywhere in between. So now you can
effectively design your own tone and nally nd ‘the sound in your head’.
In making the HT-5 ideally suited to home and studio use, the aim was to develop
a valve amp which sounded full and toneful even at the lowest volume level. With
this in mind the Blackstar design team designed a brand new valve power amplier
topology. The HT-5 power amplier is a low powered push-pull design which
produces the crunch and break-up characteristics of a traditional 100W output
stage but at a much lower volume. This is achieved by the use of a 12BH7 dual
triode in push-pull conguration producing 5 Watts output, which is rich in valve
harmonics and compression.
The HT-5 also has a fully specied stereo speaker emulated output which further
enhances the studio credentials and allows any guitarist to get amazing valve
tone straight to tape or disk, or through headphones. It also features the unique
4x12/1x12 voicing switch allowing you to change the tonal characteristics of the
emulated signal between two emulated cabinet types.
The stereo speaker emulated output can be used at the same time as the internal
speaker/extension cab, providing headphone free monitoring or the choice to blend
a mic’d speaker and emulated signal together for unrivalled usability when recording
at home or in the studio. In addition the speaker output can be turned off for ‘silent’
practice or recording.
Add to this an effects loop with switchable level, 16Ω and 8Ω speaker outputs
which allow you to run the amp into an external speaker cabinet of your choice, a
stereo MP3/Line in allowing you to jam along to your favourite tracks and you have
everything you need for recording or practising.

Front Panel
1. Input
Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.
2. Clean Volume
This controls the volume of the Clean Channel. Turning it clockwise increases
the volume.
3. Clean Tone
The Tone control allows adjustment of the balance between treble and bass
frequencies within the sound. At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be
warmer and darker in character. As the Tone control is rotated clockwise the sound
will become brighter.
4. Overdrive Select
Press this switch to select the Overdrive Channel.
5. Overdrive Indicator
When the red LED is on the Overdrive Channel is selected. When the LED is off the
Clean Channel is in operation.
6. Overdrive Gain
The Gain control adjusts the amount of the Overdrive Channel’s overdrive or
distortion. Low settings, counter clockwise (CCW), will deliver a clean sound on
the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the sound
will become more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum
position, a full distorted lead tone is arrived at.
7. Overdrive Volume
This controls the volume of the Overdrive Channel. Turning it clockwise increases
the volume.
8. Bass (OD Channel)
The Bass control adjusts the amount of low end frequencies in your tone. This amp
has an advanced tone shaping circuit which allows the tone to be tight and cutting,
(CCW), to warm and thumping (CW).
9. Middle (OD Channel)
The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The
middle frequencies are particularly important in setting the amount of ‘body’ your
tone has. With the Middle control set to its minimum position (fully CCW) the sound
will be aggressive and scooped, a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing. As the
Middle control is increased (CW) the amount of ‘body’ is increased, which is more
suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.
8
10. Treble (OD Channel)
The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the
sound. At low settings (CCW) the sound will be warm and darker in character. As the
Treble control is increased (CW) the sound will become brighter. At the maximum
settings the sound will be aggressive and cutting.
11. ISF (Innite Shape Feature)
The ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass, Middle and Treble controls. It
allows you to choose the exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully CCW has a more
American characteristic with a tight bottom end and more aggressive middle, and
fully CW has a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive.
12. Reverb (HT-5R, HT-5RH and HT-5210 only)
The reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb effect. With the control fully
counter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increase
the amount of reverb. The HT-5R, HT-5RH and HT-5210 feature digital reverb found
on the HT Venue Series and HT-1R, adding a rich depth to any playing style.
13. Power Indicator Light
The power indicator will light when the amplier is switched on.
14. Standby
This switch enables the operation of the power amp stage and speaker output.
Always turn this on at least 30 seconds after the Power switch (15). For silent
recording or practise this switch should be put in the standby position. This will
disable the power stage, but the emulated output will continue to work.
15. Power
This switch is used to turn the amplier on and off. You should always turn this
switch on before turning on the Standby switch (14).

Merkmale
Der HT-5 ist der ultimative Amp für das Studio und den Übungsraum: Er vereint
den herausragenden Sound und die innovativen Merkmale der preisgekrönten HTRöhrenpedale in einem zweikanaligen und per Fußschalter schaltbaren Röhrenamp.
Die für ein Patent angemeldete ISF-Schaltung (Innite Shape Feature) sorgt für eine
extrem exible Klangregelung, die das gesamte Spektrum von amerikanischen
bis britischen Sounds abdeckt. So können Sie Ihren ganz persönlichen Sound
entwickeln und das umsetzen, was bisher nur ‘in Ihrer Vorstellung möglich war'.
Um den HT-5 zum idealen Werkzeug für den Einsatz daheim und im Studio zu
machen, war das Ziel, einen Röhrenverstärker zu bauen, der auch bei minimaler
Lautstärke noch kraftvoll und mächtig klingt. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat das
Blackstar-Entwicklungsteam eine vollkommen neue Röhren-Endstufen-Topologie
entwickelt. Die Endstufe des HT-5 arbeitet mit einem in der Leistung reduzierten
Push-Pull-Design, das den Druck und das Durchsetzungsvermögen einer
herkömmlichen 100-Watt-Ausgangsstufe erzeugt - allerdings bei deutlich geringerer
Lautstärke. Der Schlüssel dazu liegt in der Push-Pull-Konguration einer 12BH7Dual-Triode, die eine Ausgangsleistung von 5 Watt erzeugt und sich durch kräftige
Röhren-Obertöne und Kompression auszeichnet.
Zudem integriert der HT-5 einen Stereo-Ausgang mit einer extrem hochwertigen
Speaker-Emulation, welche die Einsatzmöglichkeiten im Studio deutlich erweitert
und Gitarristen die Option eröffnet, beeindruckende Röhrensounds direkt auf Band
oder Festplatte aufzunehmen oder einfach über einen Kopfhörer zu genießen. Ein
weiteres Merkmal ist die einzigartige Umschaltung zwischen dem 4x12- und 1x12-
Voicing, mit der Sie das Ausgangssignal auf den tonalen Charakter eines dieser
beiden emulierten Lautsprecher-Typen einstellen. Der Speaker-emulierte StereoAusgang kann parallel mit dem internen Speaker/einer externen Lautsprecherbox
benutzt werden, so dass kein Kopfhörer für das Monitoring notwendig ist. Zudem
können Sie das mikrofonierte Speaker-Signal mit dem emulierten Direktsignal
mischen, was bei Aufnahmen zuhause oder im Studio für enorme Flexibilität sorgt.
Bei Bedarf kann der Speaker-Ausgang zum 'lautlosen' Üben oder für die Aufnahme
stummgeschaltet werden.
Hinzu kommt ein Effekt-Einschleifweg/Loop mit schaltbarem Arbeitspegel, SpeakerAusgänge für 16- und 8Ω-Lautsprecher, über die Sie eine externe Lautsprecherbox
Ihrer Wahl anschließen, sowie ein stereophoner MP3/Line-Eingang, um Ihre
Lieblings-Songs begleiten zu können – mehr brauchen Sie weder für das Aufnehmen
noch für das Üben.
