blackstar

Hey everyone, I have a bunch of amps that have a wattage rating between 30 and 60 watts that are also similarly priced, at least here in the Netherlands. The prices range from approximately 650 to around 850 or so. I'm talking about the Orange TH30H, a Chinese made 30w EL84 (4x EL84)Orange with...

I had never tried a Blackstar amp but I did see them around often. People kept telling me to try one so I figured I'd go ahead and finally do that! So now I have the HT Club 50 MKII in the studio. I wasn't sure what sort of tones to expect. Would it sound Marshall-y or Mesa-y? I guess these...

I was thinking about getting the Blackstar head since I've always liked how Blackstar amps sounded (had a 20W a few years ago but I sold it). Then I saw some videos on the Joyo Zombie. The reviews seem decent and the amp is cheaper even when new (about 180 new with tax on Amazon vs the Blackstar...

Thinking on getting a 2x12 120 watt, it's solid state. I'm looking for a good amp where I can control my clean and dirty channels seperately. I just need it to sound great at bedroom and jam levels, not planning to gig. How are the clean and metal tones on these? They sound beastly for the...

Hey guys, so I am torn between buying a used Bugera 6262 Infinium 2x12 combo or a used Blackstar HT Venue 60 2x12. They are both similarly priced ($350 and $450, respectively) in good condition. I play mostly metal and need something that can handle some thick modern metal tone (as well as keep...

Hi everyone! I've been away from the forums for a while working on this series - it's pretty epic. So I wanted to make a reliable comparison of different speaker types in metal, as I didn't think there was anything consistent. Sure, there are demos and reviews of gear, but what about a proper...

Hey guys!:wavey: I need to make a quick decision between two rigs. I currently play a Schecter Blackjack SLS with passive pickups and mainly play in my room, just for fun. I mainly play death/black metal, but like to play some clean stuff too. I would potentially want to record down the road...

Just wondering how many fellow forum members here playing blackstar amps? If so what do your setups look like? What pedals/effects are you using? I am running an HT-20 with Mesa Boogie tubes. I have it boosted with a tube screamer and have a few other pedals as well which I recently integrated...

I have a Blackstar HT-5hr (?) amp head and a blackstar cab Lately ( today) I have noticed my amp making a weird high pitched weezing noise, not sure why and have been unable to replicate it under specific conditions, pinpoint the issue. I am running a Rocktron Prophesy II through it, which I...

I've been looking to downsize from my Blackstar Series 1 (50) for various reasons and I'm currently looking at lower wattage amps and was wondering if I could get some further insight and different opinions from a few of you? Lately I've been eyeing up the following: - Orange OR15 - Hayden...

To anybody who has used a Blackstar series one head I want to know how the DPR controls makes the amp sound at bedroom levels. I recently bought an EVH 5150 iii 100 watt and it sounds amazing cranked up, but as you can already guess, I don't like its tone at bedroom levels which is...

Hey guys, I wanted to make a play-through for one of my songs. My pal Joey and I received our new Zilla fatboys a little while back and really dig them. The NGD with an IR for AxeII users can be found here: http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/gear-equipment/282570-shared-ngd-zilla-content.html...

Hi this is my handmade ESP 7 String. Actually the head part is original ESP, others are made here in Turkey and combined. I think the body is an original design. The neck pickups i used in this video is EMG 707. It is played through a Blackstar HT-1 and miced in a Grossmann SG-Box iso cab...

Hi everybuddy! :D I'm going to be spending 90% of my time playing in my room and I'm considering the Laney Ironheart 30 because of the attenuator(watt changer) feature. Is it 100% effective? I will probably have it at about 5 watts most of the time which raises another question: Would I be...

So I've been wanting to get a new amp for such a long time, I've finally decided to get a tube amp since I just adore the tone of Tube Amps, it'll be my first Tube Amp though, All I want is an amp with great distortion tones, I want to be able to just plug in, adjust the settings and play I...

Hi guys, Kinda new to this whole forum thing entirely but here goes anyway. I've recently invested in a Blackstar S1 50w head and for all it sounds good on it's own the gain stage is kinda sucky as it's just a "super crunch". Probably should have read up on that before buying it. For a good...
