Blackstar HT1R Guitar Combo Amp Review

Blackstar HT1R First Impressions

"BUT, it is fantastic."

Turns out it's not a piece of crap. Memory for each amp model is a nice plus. Only downside would be the short reverb unit. Nothing bad at all about it. That said it is pretty loud at that point.

Blackstar HT1R Final Thoughts

"Second one."

Better than what I expected. I bought this amp 3 years ago still going strong. Without disturbing the neighbors. Just flip it on, boom, they start right up. Replaced a Fender Mustang I v2 with it.

Overall Score
