Interesting... very interesting...

Cheap! What sort of sound do blackstars get? I dont think I've ever heard them.

[Twinfan]

That'll sound just like an HT-Dual I reckon  ;)

They're sort of modern Marshall-y Tom.  That'll be a nice cheap practice amp.  I was telling MartinW the other day they'll sell a SHEDLOAD of them.

Ah, probably too similar sounding to my Laney to justifiably gas for then?  :P

[Twinfan]

I'd say so  :)

I want to try one.

I'm not sure that they'll sound like the Dual; I couldn't see the ISF thingy in the spec list.  I'm hoping for a good, clear low powered valve path... that'll make me happy.

Mark.

the isf thing is beside the three eq knobs, so it does have it.

The fullstack is pretty awesome

Ahhhh... well spotted.  Didn't see that.

That kinda puts me off a little, for some reason.  Maybe it WILL sound just like the HT Dual?

the one i tried at music college sounds a bit like a vox ac to me. But not bad amps at all

They are having a product launch event in Sounds Great Music on October the 30th.
It's ticket only but tickets are free. I think I'll go and check them out

I really like the Blackstar stuff. I had been waiting months for the Vox Satchurator to come out (still not available anywhere!) and tried some other pedals at a show in Leeds. I picked up a HT Dual, to run into the clean channel of my Lonestar. Its a really versatile pedal and turns my clean channel into three channels, I dont even us the drive on my Boogie anymore.

I have posted a few clips of the pedal, used with a set of Crawlers, in a Vanquish Legend here

I am really tempted to try one of those 5w heads.
