Blackstar: HT Stage - 60 Watt 1x12" MkIII

The HT Stage 60 112 MK III guitar amp’s selected duet of EL34s deliver 60W of glorious valve power through a high quality Celestion speaker, making for a combo that will deliver every night, even in the most testing live environment.

The ’boutique’ style clean channel is extremely versatile with two modes – ‘British Class-A’ and ‘dynamic US’. Each of the two ISF equipped overdrive channels allows a further two modes.

The Power Reduction feature allows further flexibility, by allowing the guitarist to attenuate to 10 percent of the 60 watts of power also making the HT Stage 60 MK III perfect for the home and studio use.

Boutique Cleans and Modern Overdrives
HT Venue combines top-tier boutique cleans with high gain overdrives seamlessly.

The Clean channel delivers classic clean and crunch tones, using an ECC83 / 12AX7 valve for authentic valve compression.

The Overdrive channels, evolved from the Series One range, feature the same gain structure and tonal shaping with cascaded gain stages of an ECC83 / 12AX7 double triode valve.

Two Distinct Voices per Channel
HT Venue MK III offers two unique Voices on each channel, each introducing significant circuit changes in the preamp and power amp. These changes affect EQ voicing, tone stack position, gain, and power amp damping, allowing you to achieve a wide range of authentic tones with a single flick of a switch!

CabRig™ Speaker Simulator
CabRig™ offers top-tier IR-based DSP speaker simulation with hundreds of cabinet, mic, and room settings. Save three presets direct to the amp for quick access. Use standby for silent recording or stage use. The USB-C port sends 4 channels (clean/dry, preamp out, stereo emulated out) to your DAW for easy, authentic valve tone recording.

Uniting Clean and Overdrive Until HT Venue, guitarists had to choose between an amp that delivered great clean tones, or great overdrives. Our mission for HT Venue was to use what we learned when designing the Artisan handwired boutique amps and the modern high gain Series One and combine the best clean and overdrives into a single valve amp; a valve amp that would give players classic reference tones in one unit – without compromise.

The latest iteration, MK III, builds upon our decade of experience, refining tones, components, and aesthetics. Modern recording and connectivity are seamlessly integrated into this traditional valve amp, featuring CabRig, our class-leading IR-based DSP speaker simulator software, alongside versatile connectivity options like USB-C, XLR D.I., and ¼” jack.

Pro Features
Blackstar’s patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control shifts the response of the three control tone stack between, a US type response at one end, and at the other, a UK type response. Importantly, in between the two extremes lie an infinite number of alternative tone choices that would be otherwise unavailable.

MK III also has an all-new reverb voiced for guitar tones. Switch between ‘Dark’ room and ‘Light’ plate settings and deep-edit other parameters via our free Architect software.

Ideal for modern musicians, the MK III has all the connectivity you need, effects loop, USB-C audio for professional recording and an XLR D.I. for live performances.
