Blackstar is WORTH IT!!!

Extremely well made (for korea) and even for some US Products. They're sturdy, the customer service at blackstar is great and they will help you with all kinds of problems. However, for those "DIY" guys out there... Blackstar WILL NOT give out info on biasing their amps or any other modification info. You MUST use a certified blackstar repair shop. The tone that you can pull from this amp is more or less endless. It covers most american and british high gain tones fairly well, though the clean channel leaves a bit to be desired in the "Vintage" setting. The Crunch portion of the Clean channel, is absolutely excellent. Perfect for classic and early brit rock sounds. The OD1 channel is also great. I usually use the vintage setting as I am a big fan of early marshalls, but both settings are great. Though I do wish that the OD1 and OD2 had seperate EQ's. The OD2 Channel is perfect for brutal metal and lead tones. I have used it for Metal, Hard Rock and even some searing blues leads! The digital reverb on this amplifier is simply stunning. Certainly not a 63' Fender Reverb, but it's absolutely 199% studio quality! I've only had this amp for a few weeks. However, Blackstars are INCREDIBLY DURABLE! I previously owned the Blackstar HT-60Stage and gigged it heavily. I used it on a US Tour with over 75 shows and it never once crapped out on me. Your general opinion of this product. The Blackstar HT-100 is a fantastic amp for the price. The tubes that come stock were a bit harsh, but nothing a quick swap couldn't fix. I purchased it due to the fact that my Seymour Duncan Convertible bit the dust, that and my custom amp is not yet finished. It's well worth the price!!! As far as amps go, it's very versatile, very fun...and quite frankly one of the best sounding tube amps in it's price range. Wonderful all around. With as many features as this amp has, I can look past the small tonal issues in the "Vintage" or fender like clean channel. The ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) is absolutely incredible. It really gives you unlimited tone options! These amps look very vintage, though the tolex on mine was torn straight out of the box due to shipping. However, they look excellent. Ready to play!!! Just plug it in, turn it on, let it warm up for about 2 minutes. Plug in and PLAY!!!

Almost a 5 Star

Very well made. Built like a tank. Great tone, just wish the clean had a midrange control. It however does have a Voice Button which will have a preset Vintage/Present Day sound to it. I had to buy a Weber attenuator so I could get the sweet spot tone w/o blowing my ears out. This thing is LOUD!! Only had it 3 mo. so far so good. Built solid, it is NOT a lightweight. Your general opinion of this product. Great sound for just about anything you want to play. I don't play anything heavier than Black Sabbath, Ozzy so I don't know about any extreme Metal.I had it a week before I noticed that the Clean channel didn't have a mid control. It took 8 calls/e-mails to find out why. Even some of the people at Blackstar did not know. The Clean is based on the old school Fender clean amps which did not have a midrange control. Simple enough. Be careful with the control knobs on the front panel as you can pull them off if your not careful. Fantastic tone from Fender cleans/broken up cleans to Blues/Chrunch to some Metal tones also.
