Blackstar HT Series HT-5C 5W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp

Blackstar HT Series HT-5C 5W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp Black



Blackstar HT Series HT-5C 5W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp Black



The versatile tone of HT tube pedals in a great 1x10 combo amp.

The HT-5C from Blackstar is a 1x10" combo amp ideal for studio work or practice, packing all the great tone and innovative features of the award-winning HT tube pedals into a 2-channel, footswitchable tube 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 your tone from the USA to the UK and any where in between. So now you can effectively design your own tone and finally find "that sound in your head."

In making the HT-5C ideally suited to home and studio use, the aim was to develop a tube amp that sounded full and toneful even at the lowest volume level. With this in mind Blackstar designed a brand-new tube power amplifier topology. The HT-5C power amplifier is a low-powered, push-pull design which producing the crunch and breakup characteristics of a traditional 100W output stage but at a much lower volume via its 12BH7 dual-triode in push-pull configuration producing 5 watts output, which is rich invalve harmonics and compression.

The HT-5C also has a fully specified speaker-emulated output, further enhancing its studio credentials and allowing any guitarist to get amazing tube 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 2 emulated cabinet types.

Add to this an effects loop with switchable level, along with 16-ohm and 8-ohm speaker outputs allowing you to run the amp into an external speaker cabinet of your choice, and you have everything you need for recording or practicing.

Ibanez Releases the BTB780BP Bass

Among an impressive selection of limited edition and production instruments at the Ibanez booth, perhaps the most impressive is the new BTB780PB. In looks alone, this model is a show stealer with a highly figured poplar burl top gracing its muscular mahogany body. But it's what's under the hood that counts for pro bassists, and here the BTB does not disappoint. Not only does the BTB feature the custom Bartolini pickups that enhance all the pro BTB's big bass specs, this one goes a step further into tonal versatility with the addition of a piezo pickup located in the individually isolated Mono-Rail bridge (Ibanez fans will recognize this bridge from the company's futuristic EDA synthetic-bodied bass of years past).

As with all the pro-BTB's, the BTB780PB features neck-thru construction for greater sustain, stability and superior upper-fret access. The neck scale is an extra-long 35" inches (as opposed to the standard 34") for clear note articulation even in the lower ranges.

Background information: the name "BTB" comes from the name of its original project name in the late '90s, the "Boutique Bass Project," which aimed to replicate the qualities of the best small shop instruments in a price range more affordable to the average working musician.

Peavey and Joe Satriani have collaborated to create the all-new Peavey JSX® 50

Peavey and Joe Satriani have collaborated to create the all-new Peavey JSX® 50 guitar amplifier head, the latest project in the Peavey JSX Series of signature amplifiers and enclosures designed with the guitar legend. Like the three-channel Peavey JSX Head and JSX Mini Colossal™ before it, the new JSX 50 aims to give guitar players a wide new tonal palette that allows them to express an abundance of sounds and styles. But that's where the similarities end. With the JSX 50, Satriani and Peavey have redefined the classic 50-watt guitar-amp format with extensive tone-coloring tools to aid modern guitarists.

"Traditionally, 50-watt amps always seemed to have the perfect amount of volume and sag to create a true rock & roll moment," said Satriani. "But the golden era of the 50-watt didn't see a version that had a variety of sounds or that were actually useful tools for the gigging musician. Peavey and I were finally able to bring this idea of a really rockin' 50-watt into the modern era where real guitar players can use it. We wound up with a really bold, in-your-face sound."

1957/2008 Paul Reed Smith Pickups


MORE FROM HARMONY CENTRAL



Paul Reed Smith acquired exclusive rights to the original pickup wire from the original machine used to make the most revered '50s era pickups in 2008, and 1957 was the year the humbucker was first commercially available, giving rise to PRS Guitars' newest and most exclusive pickup, the 1957/2008. The new PRS Sunburst Series™, the McCarty II, the Al Di Meola Prism and a limited run of solid body electrics introduced at Experience PRS 2008 are presently the only models that come standard with 1957/2008 pickups.

Al also suggested a tie-dye like finish for the guitar to give it a truly unique look. Paul Smith and the PRS R&D team combined Al's favorite guitar appointments and a full spectrum of colors to create a one of a kind PRS Guitar.

Edge III Tremolo
No other guitar maker has done so much to advance the art and science of the tremolo than Ibanez. The Edge III represents the next phase in locking tremolos. It features low profile fine-tuners and two screws in the arm pocket, which allow easy adjustment of the arm height and torque. The Double-locking Edge III allows radical effects and sonic chaos with total tuning stability.
