I haven’t had the opportunity to gig this amp yet, but for practices/rehearsals it has been amazing. The ISF knob on all these amps makes it versatile, though I usually keep it at 12 o’clock. This amp is definitely loud enough for all your needs also!

Literally every feature you could want and it RAWKS. I would definitely recommend getting the 5 channel foot switch as well since that’s the only way to engage the built in 6db boost. The clean channel with some dirt in front of it is maybe my fav tone so far. The reverb is pretty good but the effects loop is great for your own modulation pedals or multi fx. The crunch and distortion channels are both totally useable too. ISF is also usable, turn far right for some good Vox style vibe for example. The head is pretty heavy but it’s built very well and has a good strap. The the option to run it in 5w mode for home or studio is awesome. Even has a headphone out. All the controls are intuitive, the layout makes sense and the pots all feel pretty decent. I seriously love this amp, it works as it should and puts a smile on my face with some of the tones I’m getting even after just a couple of weeks. And the price is a steal. I don’t really see where the 100w version would be necessary tbh. Blackstar made a winner with these MKII’s

Great tone. Sounds as good as my Dr Z. Reverb is smooth not twangy. Has plenty of headroom when you need it. I will most likely get another one! Overall great amp.

First off I bought the MK1 HT Club 40 combo from AMS during Thanksgiving of 2016 and I enjoyed that amp up until yesterday when I upgraded to the MK2 HT Club 50 head.
The sound:
Amazingly versatile for any sound. After dialing in some settings and plugging in one of my Gibson SGs I was able to play without touching a single knob! I used the footswitch to change channels and voicings but that's it. The Clean channel has 2 totally useable voicings. I use the F-type clean for nice shimmering cleans, then I use the boutique type clean for Vox/Marshall break up sound that mimics Ac/Dc tone. Then the overdrive channel. The vintage overdrive sounds very familiar to the first HT Venue series amps. Sounds great but cleans up decently when you turn your guitars volume down, the modern overdrive voicing is a huge improvement! I couldn't find a decent or useable tone with my original HT club 40 amps modern OD voicing but this new MK2 series totally revamped it. Nice gain stage with a solid sounding mid-range tone. Now I love the modern overdrive voicing, it's actually useable! Love the looks and sounds. The durability is unknown since I just bought this but if it matches the MK1 series strength then it'll be sturdy enough. This completely blows my Fender Bassbreaker 15 head out of the water. Amazing product from a good up and coming brand.

Great sounding head. Sounds pretty similar to my old Marshall DSL100 I used to have.
