I've been saying the same thing. Where were these amps 30 years ago? I knew I wanted them and many people that did, but at best you would get a low wattage tube amp with Volume, Gain and Master Tone and that was about it. Now that I don't need this kind of amp, they are everywhere.

Bought one during the summer. This is by far the best of the 'mini' amps I've tried. Very satisfied. Even with the 8in speaker, its kinda impressive. Weakest part is probably the reverb, compresses the output the more you crank it. Not a deal breaker however, cuz for us noise makers, you'll find a use for it.
@xb58832 жыл бұрын
I have one and don't notice compression with the reverb. I find the built in reverb works great for most musical context and it takes reverb pedals on the Classic Gain channel really well if you want atmospheric or spring drip.

So I can buy a Marshall head version of this and take the emulated out and plug it into the front of a solid state transistor amp Katana 100w for instance and I've got the portability of a light weight amp and a cheap low cost of replacement and service tube solution? Don't say no because I'm buying it maybe a FRFR or a PA active speaker but it could be into a Katana or a Roland JC40 etc. I have a JC-120 but that defeats the light weight easy transport element but would sound good. The Marshall tube gain just sounds perfect. Wot a Tube tone solution that minimises the cost of fannying about with heavy expensive unreliable tube amps. I want a Knighthood for this piece of genius.

EQ matters a lot, mostly the treble which you gotta run near 0 or there's too much fizz. Likely due to the 8" speaker. Crank the mids to get rid of the mud. Not particularly versatile but it does put out good tones once you find the sweet spot.

Did you actually play the Marshall? I think it sounds a lot better than a BlackStar. I was actually going to get an HT5, until the guy at my guitar store suggested the Marshall. Waited 24 hours to think it over, but went with the Marshall, and I’m happy I did.

The ht-5’s distortion isn’t as good to my ears . It also seems to have a blanket over the speaker type sound , where it’s kind of muffled sounding . Also the Ht-5 is not really a tube amp it’s more of a hybrid amp . The Marshall definitely has more of that classic Marshall tube tone you can find in the bigger amps just in a smaller package . I picked one up used for $220, but have seen them locally for 250-300 . So far I really love its tone .
