Blackstar HT 1R MKIII 1W 1 x 8 inch Tube Guitar Amplifier Reverb/USB/CabRig - HT1RMKIII

OVERVIEW

Introducing the HT-1R MK III  
The HT-1R MK III elevates the acclaimed design of the award-winning MkII series, delivering outstanding performance, stunning aesthetics, and revolutionary new features, including enhanced voicings and our innovative IR-based CabRig™ speaker simulator software.

Exceptional Valve Tone in a Compact Package  
Valve amplifiers achieve their best sound when pushed to higher volumes; the unique dynamics, feel, and natural compression of a hot valve power stage are often regarded as the pinnacle of guitar tone. However, cranking a 100W valve amp to those levels isn't practical for home use or considerate to your neighbors. The HT-1R MK III, featuring a distinctive push-pull power amp, allows you to enjoy this sought-after valve performance at volumes perfect for home practice and recording.

Versatile Tonal Choices  
The HT-1R MK III is equipped with two channels—clean and overdrive—each offering two voicing options. With this model, each Voice switch triggers extensive circuit modifications in both the preamp and power amp, enabling the recreation of authentic reference tones without compromise. This includes adjustments to EQ voicing, tone stack positioning, gain, and power amp damping. Experience a wide range of tonal possibilities with just a simple switch!

Ideal for Playing and Recording  
In addition to delivering studio-ready valve tones at any volume, the HT-1R MK III features a direct USB-C output that transmits two channels (left and right) to your DAW, providing the simplest method to capture genuine valve tone in your recordings without needing an interface.

The best feature? These amplifiers come with built-in load protection, allowing you to use them without a cabinet connected for silent practice and recording.

IR-Based CabRig Speaker Simulator  
The HT-1R MK III includes our industry-leading IR-based speaker simulator, CabRig, as a standard feature, offering a multitude of cabinet, mic, and room combinations. You can save your favorite settings to three presets for quick access directly from the amplifier. Enjoy premium valve tones through your headphones, monitors, and mixes.
