Blackstar Amps

Stress-Pass · 02-25-2011, 09:23 PM

Hey guys,

I've been researching Blackstar amps for a while now (no store near me stocks them). I can order one up, but I'd really like to hear from anyone that has tried them. The specific model I'm thinking of is the HTStage100. Anyone used it?

Thanks in advance.

I took it for a one day from mu friend and right away I was blown away by the gain that this amp offered. This was the first amp that I didn’t need to max out my gain knob to get my neck harmonics and pinches to ring out. As I rolled the gain, it was like I was rolling through a library of tones that included everything from Zeppelin to Metallica.

The ISF technology on the amp adds to its versatility by bringing out its British tones. For those who have owned a Marshall in the past, you’ll know and understand the midrange circuit in the older JCM series amps, which is harmonically so much more than a simple Mid. With the ISF technology, the HTV100 nails Marshall tones with ease.I really liked it,this is the best i think!
