As a company Blackstar are strongly independent and this spirit is reflected in the design philosophy.

Key Products:

	The HT5 Range - AWESOME 5 Watt 2 Channel Valve Amplifiers
	The Blackstar HT-5 amps are proving to be some of the biggest selling home practice amps that we have seen. The tone is superb, a real, natural valve tone and sensible practice levels. With plentiful speaker outputs and the emulated recording output, this amp needn't be limited to bedroom use, it is perfect for recording, or low level backline monitoring.

	The HT Valve Powered Pedals
	The HT Series of pedals from Blackstar are some of the highest quality, most natural sounding and dynamic pedals on the market. Differing from many "valve drive" pedals, these do actually feature a fully powered valve at the heart of the tone, correctly running at High Voltage (hence the name "HT"). The 5 pedal range is extremely versatile and a range of overdrive/distrotion pedals that everyone should at least try!

	The Artisan Series, Hand-Wired Valve Amplifiers
	The Artisan Series of amplifiers from Blackstar represents an outstanding achievement in value and hand-wired vintage tone. These amps are designed in the UK, by the Blackstar team, hand assembled in Korea, with quality control and servicing remaining in the UK, therefore allowing Blackstar to reduce the costs, bringing you hand wired quality at great prices.
