BLACKSTAR HT-5R MkIII

Blackstar HT-5R MkIII – Legendary tube tone at any volume

The Blackstar HT-5R MkIII is the latest evolution of Blackstar’s iconic 5-watt tube combo. Known for its rich dynamics and impressively big sound for its size, the MkIII version adds even greater versatility, clarity and modern functionality for guitarists who want authentic tube tone at home, in the studio or on stage.

Powered by an ECC83 preamp tube and a 12BH7 power tube, the HT-5R MkIII delivers true tube response – from sparkling cleans to saturated high-gain overdrive. The flexible ISF control lets you shift seamlessly between British and American voicings, giving you the perfect tone for any style.

The MkIII also features high-quality stereo reverb, an enhanced USB audio interface for direct recording, and an XLR cab-sim output with advanced speaker simulation. This makes the HT-5R MkIII a modern, professional solution without sacrificing authentic tube character.
