5. reasons you need the new HT-5R tube amp

[Elemenope]

#6 should be A2M/GAPE.

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.

 

 

not used, new.

Both good amps imo. The BS is cheaper and less of a one trick pony. Wattage is all subjective to the user.

Okay so for an extra like 100 or 150 dollars [i am guessing] you get more gain and a ton more volume

 

Clearly anything the Blackstar HT5 can do the Peavey 6505 can do better

Disagree. I prefer the BS cleans and reverb.

So you've resorted to full on troll?

I'm not trolling... thinking the 6505 is better than the HT5 makes me a troll?

[Guitarist+]

 

Agreed. Disagree. I prefer the BS cleans and reverb.

 

 

eh, on that level it becomes a matter of preference

 

To me, I don't use cleans much anyway so even a mediocre clean will suffice, and as far as reverb goes, I like the 6505s

Yes. In my opinion it can. What is wrong with that?

If you're looking for a performance amp, yeah the 6505 would be a better buy. But if you're looking for an amp that you can turn down to super low volume to practice with and it still sounds and feels great I would go with the HT5R. Turn down the 6505 and it'll stink up the room.

Assuming you want either of those things.

I want both

have you actually played both the Blackstar HT5 and Peavey 6505 ? Or are you speaking from your experience of watching videos on Youtube ? also, i didn't realize one sound could be "better" then another.

I didn't say sounds, I said anything the Blackstar HT5 can do the Peavey 6505 can do better

 

For example, if I wanted to savagely beat my family, the peavey 6505 (being larger) would be a much more effective weapon

Your trying to compare a 5 watt amp to a 60 watt amp. Stop it. The HT-5 is meant for practice at low volume and I can promise you it sounds better than the Peavey at bedroom volumes.

That's subjective

suddenly this becomes a subjective topic

so is your comment that "anything the HT5 can do the 6505 can do better"

I already said that on page 2 I believe

[jshaffer20]

That's subjective

 

I just dont get how you are comparing the two. I can find a bunch of amps in the USED market for the price of the Blackstar but it doesnt mean I should be comparing them. I could see if this thread was about the Club 40 or the Stage 60 since they are of comparable size and wattage. I tried a 6505 at low volume and it sounded pretty dull to me. Give me the Blackstar anyday
