You are impressed with it, yet you chose the thumbs down emoticon with the thread title?

I'm the backwards man.

 

[DeclanWhite]

impressive! i need a mesa cab. haha

 

[TheDude]

With a boost in front = Awesome thrashy little fellow. And cheap too!

 

[Empathy]

It must be good if you can make it sound the same as every other $4000+ amp you've done a video for!

 

[Ola Englund]

Yeah I was really impressed with it and the tones you could dial in. The ISF knob really made it versatile.

BUT I'm actually even more psyched for the Engl gigmaster I'm bound to get soon.

I tried the gigmaster... I had only a short time with it but I didn´t like it at all. Got nothing on the Blackstar IMHO. But let´s see what your magic tone dialing skills can do with it

 

[Djabthrash]

I really dig the tone you got in this video, and some riffs are crushing, which helps

Curious to hear what you can do with the Engl Gigmaster.

Sweet, nice solo aswell, Is their enough distortion on those blackstar amps for metal or do you need a boast pedal??

 

[akbeda]

once again a great video!

 

[Steven Otto]

Very cool video. I have a ht-5 as well that I use with a Harley Benton 2x12 with V30's.

How much gain did you use? 8/10?
Did you find that the HT-5 lacks some brightness? Maybe I can get some more brightness with a tube swap. What do you think/ what are your recommendations?

 

[Rex Rocker]

I didn't quite like it, to be honest.

 

[Trevoire520]

Arnie FTW!

 

[Brandon E.]

I've been gassing for an ht20 for awhile now. With a boost that thing slays dragons.

 

[cobhc]

Arnie FTW!

Get to the choppa!

 

[Clockwork]

Man I can't wait to see you demo the gigmaster, I've been on the fence about that amp for awhile now.

 

[The Unavoidable]

It sounded good, but I didn't like the particular "character" of the amp. The break kinda sounded like St.Anger.


But I must say FUCK YEAH BOLT THROWER SHIRT

 

[jeid]

Haha, I nearly died at the Arnie part. Sounds great.

 

[Boerboel666]

Quite refreshing to hear a non peavey/mesa tone .

Cheap too , what's not to like .
