Blackstar now launched a 4 x 8" cab to go with this amp - £160 from Andertons - looks nice but I would still prefer a solid 1x12" cab

I had the same problem with the HT-5 in that they only did a 1x10. So I asked Martin to make me a matching 1x12. Works magnificently with it.

When you´re racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just pies.

Just bought myself a HT-1R combo. Very nice. I probably won't be posting clips though as I am quite possible the worst guitarist on this forum.

EDIT
I don't understand why they bothered releasing a version without reverb!
I think I hate being indecisive.

We could have a guitar duel to prove who is the most worthy of that title!

I only have a telecaster to fight with. Teles are tough mofos though!

Got one (Combo with reverb) from Mrs Tellboy as a Christams pressy so have been using it for about 5/6 weeks. As I have 2 handwired Cornfords was not expecting too much. Pleasantly surprised - clean channel good (not as good as clean channel on the Hellcat) - drive channel some good sounds available, the amp has been voiced well for the 8" speaker but at higher settings, not surprisingly, can sound boxy and bass gets flubby (sweet setting for me is with gain and volume on about 1 o'clock). Cleans up when winding guitar volume back and Les Paul, SG, Tele and Strat all sound like they should. Great for practising and recording - and at £199 great price.

Probably a fair bit tougher than my Les Paul Juniors (physically, if not sound-wise.....)

And you have a weight/reach advantage....

I might have to surrender.  :(

I saw the ltd edition HT5 stack with the Artisan series style red cabs/trim today. It looks really wicked.
