Introduction Features Thank you for purchasing this Blackstar HT-5 amplifier. Like all our products, this amp is the result of countless hours of painstaking Research and Development by our world-class design team. Based in Northampton (UK), the Blackstar team are all experienced musicians themselves and the sole aim of the development process is to provide guitarists with products which are the ultimate tools for self expression. All Blackstar products are subjected to extensive laboratory and road testing to ensure that they are truly uncompromising in terms of reliability, quality and above all TONE. If you like what you hear and want to find out more about the Blackstar range of products please visit our website at www.blackstaramps.com. Thanks! The Blackstar Team The HT-5 is the ultimate studio and practice amp, packing all the great tone and innovative features of the award-winning HT valve pedals into a two channel, footswitchable valve amp format. The patent-applied-for ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) circuit gives you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control network and takes you from the USA to the UK and any where in between. So now you can effectively design your own tone and finally find the sound in your head. In making the HT-5 ideally suited to home and studio use, the aim was to develop a valve amp which sounded full and toneful even at the lowest volume level. With this in mind the Blackstar design team designed a brand new valve power amplifier topology. The HT-5 power amplifier is a low powered push-pull design which produces the crunch and break-up characteristics of a traditional 100W output stage but at a much lower volume. This is achieved by the use of a 12BH7 dual triode in push-pull configuration producing 5 watts output, which is rich in valve harmonics and compression. The HT-5 also has a fully specified speaker emulated output which further enhances the studio credentials and allows any guitarist to get amazing valve tone straight to tape or disk, or through headphones. It also features the unique 4x12/1x12 voicing switch allowing you to change the tonal characteristics of the emulated signal between two emulated cabinet types. Add to this an effects loop with switchable level, along with 16Ω and 8Ω speaker outputs which allow you to run the amp into an external speaker cabinet of your choice, and you have everything you need for recording or practising. 6 7

Front Panel 1. Input 1. Input Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead. 2. Clean Volume This controls the volume of the Clean Channel. Turning it clockwise increases the volume. 3. Overdrive Select Press this switch to select the Overdrive Channel. American characteristic with a tight bottom end and more aggressive middle, and fully CW has a British characteristic which is more woody and less aggressive. 11. Headphones & Speaker Emulated Output This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet and provides a natural valve overdrive tone for connection to a recording device or mixing desk, and for use with headphones. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead. 12. Cabinet Switch The switch enables you to select either a 4x12 closed back or a 1x12 open back cabinet emulation for the Speaker Emulated Output. 4. Overdrive Indicator When the RED LED is on the Overdrive Channel is selected. When the LED is off the Clean Channel is in operation. 5. Overdrive Gain The Gain control adjusts the amount of the Overdrive Channel s overdrive or distortion. Low settings, counter clockwise, will deliver a clean sound on the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the sound will become more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full distorted lead tone is arrived at. 6. Overdrive Volume This controls the volume of the Overdrive Channel. Turning it clockwise increases the volume. 13. Power Indicator Light The power indicator will light when the amplifier is switched on. 14. Standby This switch applies the H.T. (High Tension) voltage required to produce sound. Always turn this switch on at least 30 seconds after the Power switch (15). During short breaks in playing use just this switch to turn off and on the amplifier s output. 15. Power This switch is used to turn the amplifier on and off. You should always turn this switch on before turning on the Standby switch (14). 7. Bass The Bass control adjusts the amount of low end frequencies in your tone. This amp has an advanced tone shaping circuit which allows the tone to be tight and cutting, counter clockwise (CCW), to warm and thumping (CW). 8. Middle The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The middle frequencies are particularly important in Setting the amount of body your tone has. With the Middle control set to its minimum position (fully CCW) the sound will be aggressive and scooped, a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing. As the Middle control is increased (CW) the amount of body is increased, which is more suitable for sustained lead guitar tones. 9. Treble The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the sound. At low settings (CCW) the sound will be warm and darker in character. As the Treble control is increased (CW) the sound will become brighter. At the maximum settings the sound will be aggressive and cutting. 10. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) The ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass, Middle and Treble controls. It allows you to choose the exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully CCW has a more 8 9
