Blackstar HT-20R Mk III 20W Combo Amp

Full Description

Sculpt your sound

The HT-20R Mk III is equipped with Blackstar's proprietary CabRig DSP technology, allowing for an unprecedented level of tonal flexibility. This feature lets you simulate hundreds of cabinet, microphone, and room combinations, ensuring your tone is exactly the way you want it. The ability to store three CabRig presets directly in the amp means your ideal sounds are always at the ready, for recording, practicing, or performing live.

Volume meets versatility

The HT-20R Mk III's power reduction feature allows you to dial down the output to 10 percent of its full capacity, ensuring you can enjoy rich, overdriven valve tones at volumes suitable for any environment without damaging your hearing. This makes the HT-20R Mk III the perfect choice for practice sessions, keeping the volume low and the gain as high as you want it.

Direct and simple recording

Recording valve amp tones has never been easier thanks to the HT-20R Mk III's USB-C audio output. This modern feature eliminates the need for an external interface, allowing you to directly capture the amp's authentic sounds into your DAW. Whether you're laying down tracks in a home studio or capturing ideas on the fly, this amp gives you genuine valve tones via USB.

A world of tones at your feet

With two footswitchable channels and four unique voices, the HT-20R Mk III covers a wide tonal spectrum. From the sparkling cleans reminiscent of classic American amps to the aggressive overdrive of high-gain British tones, this amp delivers versatility in spades. The inclusion of Blackstar’s patented ISF control further expands your tonal options, offering seamless transitions between American and British amplifier characteristics within your chosen voice mode. This level of control, combined with the amp’s intuitive design, makes it an invaluable tool for guitarists of all styles and skill.
