Members peavey_impact Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 You don't think that 1-3 are good reasons for buying this amp over the standard HT-5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitarist+ Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 If it costed as much as the other 5 watt tube amps I'd buy it in a heartbeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oblivion DC Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 If it costed as much as the other 5 watt tube amps I'd buy it in a heartbeat It's 50 bucks more than the original, has a 12" speaker, reverb, and more gain. You'd be stupid not to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Oblivion DC Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 No, I mean if it costed as much as the Epi Valve Jr / Blackheart BH5 / Kustom / etc Those all appear to be class A amps. Some of them have a tone control, or are single channel, no reverb, no effects loop. Oh and they come with 8", 10", or even 6" speakers. I guess you get what you pay for. Those amps may be great for lots of different music styles but they don't really do it for the stuff I like to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitarist+ Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'd like to get the Blackstar HT1RH... its only 1 watt but the volume difference between 1 watt and 5 watts cannot be that significant, and either would be used for practice anyway (and in a band/gig setting obviously you can mic them up) but I think I am just going to skip a mid-range amp and go straight for the Peavey 6505 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pioneerprogress Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 No, I mean if it costed as much as the Epi Valve Jr / Blackheart BH5 / Kustom / etc Oh, so you mean if it had zero features then.Honestly, the HT-5 is a bargain for what it is.

What's next, you're going to be complaining about a Infiniti's price compared to a Kia? well if blackstar made a 5/3/1 watt HT head that just had Volume, Gain and Tone and/or ISF then I'd be pretty happy with that.

Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 No, I mean if it costed as much as the Epi Valve Jr / Blackheart BH5 / Kustom / etc those are tube amps, not a fair comparison. those small blackstars are basically a distortion pedal hardwired to a speaker.

Members Sex Panther Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 My mistake bro It's all good. I'm normally not a HUGE grammar Nazi, but cost is an irregular verb.

Members teemuk Posted August 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 You don't think that 1-3 are good reasons for buying this amp over the standard HT-5? If you compare it like that it makes sense. If you consider that 12" speaker, tone controls and a reverb are pretty much standard features for guitar amps, then not so much.

If you consider that 12" speaker, tone controls and a reverb are pretty much standard features for guitar amps, then not so much. Check out the other 5 watt combos out there man. Most don't have 12" speakers or reverb or channel switching even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, plus find another tube amp, with those features, for the same price. ONE. Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk the price of the HT5R but I am guessing a used Peavey 6505 combo is in that same area and has those features, and not to mention 12 times the wattage.
