[@73prd]

Bought this amp and it totally is amazing ❤

[@jasonstallworth]

It’s a phenomenal amp and as I love the 4x12 can I also love their Cab Rig software for this series

[@73prd]

@@jasonstallworth haven't tried the matching 412 cab but I have an old line 6 412 and I put v30 speakers in it and it sounds fantastic also

[@anthonygonzalez8684]

They are amazing Amps. I have a Club 40 Combo 6L6. Love it. Yes. Awesome for any genre.

[@jasonstallworth]

Man they're extremely versatile! Not just a one-trick pony 🤘

[@bengirard1984]

Great demo! Imho, OD 2 voice on is where this amp shines the best. The cleans are sweet too.

[@jasonstallworth]

The OD 2 voice is nice! And yes, I was pleasantly surprised by this amp's clean tones!

[@iduncanw]

Sweet demo and playing 🤘 I've got the Blackstar ID: 260 TVP. I remember trying it in-store next to a Blackstar 6L6 tube combo and thinking how close it got. It has all the extra options with channels, tube simulations and effects and think it was nearly half price (due to series being replaced with Silverline I think). It's great fun to play, just don't get to use it much as mostly have to play with headphones. Hope you put noise cancelling headphones on your EVH 😂

[@jasonstallworth]

That's another thing I like about this MK III amp (and, ugh, I forgot to mention you can use headphones!!) but you don't need a cabinet. You can also plug it into your DAW or a soundboard

[@iduncanw]

@@jasonstallworth nice, something like the Club 40 combo would be good for me as I only play at home. Maybe I could then stop buying plugins 🙃

[@YigitTuncel]

Nice video, we appreciate it ❤

[@jasonstallworth]

🙏🏻🤘

[@willraven7]

Thank you❤

Hi Jason, I think Blackstar picked a great rep to showcase this Amplifier, great work.Does the Amp sound much different when the power output switch is used to go to 10w for home practice.

[@jasonstallworth]

Thank you, I'm loving this amp and actually getting ready to do a video diving deeper into the OD 1 channel. The 100 vs 10 difference isn't substantial except when you use the voicing feature

[@Robbie28]

Black star makes great amps,especially for the money. I messed up and got an EVH 5150 EL34 and now in extra spoiled lol.

[@jasonstallworth]

I also have the EVH 50 watt head and 2x12 cab. It's a great amp, especially for metal.

[@jasonstallworth]

I have the 5150 III EL34 50 watt with 2x12 cab and definitely a great amp.

[@Robbie28]

@@jasonstallworth I tried the 6L6 combo but although the lead channel was awesome, I couldn’t get both channel 1 and 2 to sound good to me at same time. If I got channel 1 the way I liked it, channel 2 was bad. Then when I got channel 2 good, channel 1 didn’t sound good lol. With the EL34 version combo, I got all 3 like I like them. Now I need my wife to go visit the grand kids so I can play loud once 😝

[@gravelrocks5588]

Just caught your video it sounds awesome do you recommend getting this amp

[@jasonstallworth]

I'm a fan of it, especially since I've now had it for a couple of months .It's practically all that I play through now (and the Amped 3)

[@Timmy70]

Great video...

[@jasonstallworth]

🙏🤘

[@brettphillips2309]

Hey Jason. Just got the stage 60. Was wondering if you could share how you eq this amp?

[@jasonstallworth]

I kinda wish I had that amp instead of the half stack...much easier to carry! But I do have another video with my settings (I used this amp miked up with an SM57 on my latest album): kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2e1lKZnrdOoY9k

[@aaron9142]

Do you feel like the Blackstar has a solid state sound overall, as well as a solid state feel/response under the fretting fingers?

[@jasonstallworth]

With the HT Venue series, not at all. It's everything you'd expect from a tube amp. The matching speakers will be where you hear the differences...this one particular has the Celestion Seventy-80 speakers, which have kinda grown on me and it's a different sound.

[@markolivares6943]

Having issues with the wattage switch. Only works when the first gain stage is engaged however if you have the second gain stage engage it does nothing. Cannot find a solution for this

[@jasonstallworth]

I've never had any issues with this amp. The wattage switch is more noticeable the louder the volume is. At lower volumes, there's not a substantial difference

[@Timmy70]

You did some reading, huh Brother?🙏🤘👍

[@jasonstallworth]

🤘

[@pedraw]

Jeebus...........there isn't a bad setting on that amp. Blackstar has always sounded good to me. I've been thinking about the Marshall DSL 40 but.............IDK

[@jasonstallworth]

There are several options in the new Blackstar MK III series (they also have a 40 watt combo)...I would definitely get that over the Marshall DSL. There's a link in my video description and you can see all of their options

[@adamwatson6916]

Great amps . Crap cabinets with crap speakers . These amps sound so much bettet through Marshall Mesa and orannge cabs

[@jasonstallworth]

I kinda like the Celestion Seventy 80 speakers it comes with. A bit different sound
