The Artisan 30 clean tone sounds absolutely godlike. I’ve been searching for an amp that sounds this good for years. Combine it with the HT Dual pedal to take it to the next level.”

Clarity! Clarity can be a rarity when it comes to finding a great amp, but the first Blackstar I plugged into I heard clarity like no other... every note of every chord has its own beautiful place within the fullness of the tone!” ”

The Series One 45 makes me want to play guitar for hours. Amazingly inspiring, tones galore!”

I absolutely love my Artisan 30, it does it all from clean to dirty, from quiet to all hell is breaking loose and I like it.”

Blackstar is a great amplifier! It allows me to perform at my best while the Blackstar Amplifier is roaring behind me. It's the perfect amplifier to express my range. ”

Groupies come with the territory when you’re in a rock band, but none of them have rocked my world like my Blackstar Series One 100. ”

The Blackstar Series One 100 is a great amp, it gives me a heavy as hell crunch sound as well as a great warm clean sound. Plus the MIDI feature means I don't have to tap dance everytime I want to change channel and effects!”

The Series One 200 is the best amp I’ve ever played.”

The Blackstar HT Stage 60, gives me the tone that I have been looking for. It gives me just what I need, to be able to express my feelings through the guitar to the audience.”

Plug in, get a level, set the tone controls, play. No fiddling about, no scratching of the head. The Blackstar Artisan 30 is amazingly consistent - always loud (but sensitive) and clean (but dirty) - that's my idea of an amp. Can't wait to try out the Blackstar stompboxes with a pair of these great amps on the next tour. ”

I fell in Love with the Artisan 30 head in combination with the 4x12 cab after playing it just 5 minutes. It delivers me a very pure clean tone and in combination with the HT-DRIVE pedal you can get more Distortion if you want. Perfect for me! And last but not least the look and the workmanship is awesome!”

I love these HT Stage 100 amps. Perfect for My Passion’s bone shattering riffs! ”

This is the new amp that will take over the Metal world! Amazing tone, incredible gain and top notch quality! The Blackstar Series One 200 is my new addiction! ”

The Blackstar Series One 100 has given me the power to combine the classic rock sound with newer updated sounds like no other amp has. It’s the ISF knob that did it for me. The sound stays solid and clear even on strong volume. In Backyard Babies and also in my work as a songwriter I need to be able to go from 0 -100 in seconds. That’s why I drive a Chrysler 300c and play Blackstar Series One 100.”

I love this pedal! The tones are so phat and filthy, you'd have second thoughts about taking it home to meet your mother.”

The Blackstar has the power and consistent tone that allows me to cut through the mix night after night. It's built like a tank and screams like a jet engine!”

Put Angus Young, Brian May and Pete Townshend in one box and you've got the artisan 30! Tone to die For.”

From the first time I fired up the Blackstar Artisan 30H...Wow,wow,wow... it sounded fantastic!”

The series one is an amazing amp. Its beautifully made and incredibly versatile. The emulator output is a godsend in the studio too. I would recommend the series one to bands of all genres from indie to death metal.”

I was blown away by the flexibility of the Series One amp, from clean to high gain it was amazing. It's definitely my go to amp from now on.”

You can’t beat the sound of a real Amp.”

Finally, the quest for the ultimate sound is over! Series One has it all.”

The Artisan 30 has all the vintage tones in one box.”

With the Blackstar HT Dual distortion pedal, I know i'll have great tone and all the balls a guy could want, no matter what venue I play. Man, I never leave home without it!”

I fell in love with the Artisan 100 head, the Artisan 4x12 cab and the HT-Dist pedal by the first tone - it delivers everything I ever wanted, no matter whether on tour or in the studio.”

The ultimate combination of the Artisan 100 head, the Artisan 4x12 cabinet and the HT-Dist pedal makes my sound just fucking huge and unique - I've never heard anything comparable, and never will.”

The S1-100 is killer.”

I've spent years searching for an amp that provides the air-shifting, awe-inspiring verve of valve power, that can also easily provide me with the different range of tones that I need; from clean to overdriven, and switching between brutal rhythms and searing lead tone. The Series One delivers on all these counts and more. Generate tone to dominate! The Series One is a monster!”

Blackstar pedals have become a key part to my guitar tone. If you are looking for solid, rich and defined distortion you need to try these out! They sound massive!”

The S1-200 is the very definition of guitar sound and will break new grounds - mark my words!”

The series one 200 head has more definition in tone than any other amp I've ever played. It cuts through like a knife!”

The S1-200 is incredible, its so versatile, each channel has so much character. Even better its built like a tank, perfect for live and in the studio!”

The Artisan 30 is a beast! ”

The Artisan 30 is incredible! for years I’ve been trying to find an amp that has the bite and clarity of an v** and the power and depth of a M*******. This amp has it all! I’ve used it in small club shows and huge arenas and it sounds great every time!”

The sound of the HT-5 is fantastic, the build quality is top notch and it looks so damn good! ”

With its two killer sounding overdrive channels and the additional sound possibilities of the ISF feature, the series one 200 is not only an extremely versatile amp its also pretty f***** loud. or to put it short: it just knows how to rock me.”

The S1-45 gives me the organic clean and crunch tones i need live..It is reliable, powerful and versatile.. It meets the high demands of Raven Vandelle in the studio and on the Road. ”

The Artisan 30 head sounds f*cking amazing”

I love this amp! everything onstage live I love but micro'd backstage! ”

These amps are beyond my wildest dreams!”

"Wow...great pedal!!Love the tone and has the perfect bite with my old Telecaster.Been using the HT Dist loads in the studio.Cant wait to use it live"”

If you want the best tone, you have to have the best gear. This is where Blackstar comes in - the Artisan 15 is an absolute godsend for guitarists, without a doubt it's the most impressive combo amp I've ever played. Proud to use it!”

The Artisan 15H is the best amp I have played in YEARS! Together with the HT Boost pedal it replaced my 100 watt, 3 channel, rubbish sounding monster of an amp. 15 watts and I still get told I'm too loud onstage but my soundman loves the fact he barely needs to EQ this amp out front to get a great tone!”

I’ve been using the HT-DIST for my home recordings. I've not got a working guitar amp at home and this has removed the need, giving me a nice crunchy-not-fizzy sound that my other pedals won't do. ”

The Blackstar Artisan 100 stack is the coolest amp ever. Never played anything powerful like that. Its sound blows your mind and...f***ing burns you down! No doubt - SIZE MATTERS...sometimes!”

The Artisan 100 is absolutely awesome, Very pure sound, it's amazing. The HT-DUAL pedal is the b*llocks, it complements the amp perfectly. I love it.”

The HT-DRIVE will be in my gig-bag every time I catch a plane – guaranteed rockin’ valve sound with anything the Promoter lays on me…”

The HT Dual sounds f***ing amazing! ”

Sings like a Blackbird, kicks like a Mule - A30, A100 User”

The HT-5 is perfect for my smaller gigs, and people always flip when they hear such a big tone from a small amp."”

The ISF on the HT-DIST works like i dream. It satisfies the grunge kid and the indie kid in me.”

The HT-5 head from Blackstar is my new favourite thing. Great tone and surprisingly powerful for such a small amplifier. The ISF control makes it a very three-dimensional, with brilliant jangly clean sounds, crunchy rhythms and fat lead sounds. And it seems virtually indestructible. The other thing that makes it very desirable is that it's perfect for any musicians who travel a lot. We do festivals all over the world, and it's nice to know that I can put it in my carry-on bag and know that I've got my rig - and my sound - anywhere in the world. I liked it so much, I bought two more. ”

The Blackstar Artisan 30 is a true gem. Highest quality craftsmanship meets pure tone and energetic power. It delivers what you need, when you need it! Highest quality craftsmanship meets pure tone and energetic power. Blackstar delivers what you need, when you need it! ”

I've found an amp and pedal that brings the warmth and balls! An answer in my quest for Tone.”

Artisan 30 - I Love This Amp. HT-5 - This is the perfect amp for club gigs.”

The HT-Boost, gives the sound a nice warm crunch without sacrificing the dynamic range. The build quality is great too. ”

The HT-DUAL is a great piece of equipment my rig would be useless without it now and the tone is outstanding. It's literally replaced three different distortion pedals that I couldn't make my mind up on. I didn't realise how good of a pedal it was until we actually got on tour and started playing large venues it just gave me a chance to really crank both the pedal and amp. ”

The HT-BOOST sounds the absolute dogs Dangles!!! It's a fantastic piece of Kit that for a change actually does exactly what it says on the Tin! ”

Finding the perfect distortion can be incredibly frustrating but with the HT-Dual I feel like I've finally got the sounds I've been looking for a long time, it's quick and easy to dial in an awesome sound and it's so versatile that it's now the only distortion pedal I need on my pedalboard both in studio and on stage.”

The Artisan 30 is the missing link between a V*x and a M******l.”

The HT-DUAL is the Martini of the pedal world...'Any time, any place, anywhere! I can now get the same sound at a small club as I do at a big festival.”

I usually use a M******l which has great head room on the clean but on the Blackstar Artisan 100 the clean was better by far. I had the thing sitting at 2 on the volume and it was massive. Unreal power! Those things are huge and the sound is so clean and tight. ”

Blackstar culminates everything we have been looking for in an amplifier and more!!! I was previously somewhat bull-headed with Vintage Plexi Amps, but reliability and servicing costs prompted me to look at other options. After using a Blackstar Artisan 100 whilst recording, I was staggered by its unbelievable tone. From pristine clean to unforgiving brutal distortion it always sounds well driven and fulsome. Reliability was a huge factor for me as we tour all year and our equipment suffers, but after throwing a Blackstar around for a few months the build-quality truly shines through. Its simplicity and ability to switch tones comforts me that I never feel limited to one style or sound. ”

I really liked this Blackstar Artisan 30 combo as soon as I tried it. The standard of construction is very high and this is matched in the sound quality. Nothing is missing at any frequency. Put the Blackstar HT-DUAL FX pedal in front and you’ve got probably the most expressive guitar amplification you can get. ”

There is no other word for the HT-Dual pedal other than "RAD". It can be used on any amp for a great heavy as F*ck sound! Wouldn't play a show without it. ”

I'm back where I started, Pure Amplification, Pure Tone" It's the sound I started with 50 odd years ago but better. ”

I'm totally blown away by the HT-Pedals. The sound is amazing and the tone is very versatile indeed. Also loving the design and build. I'll be making the most of these in the studio and live! ”

The HT series are solid robust pedals and simple to use. I've been using the HT-Boost to access that breaking up tone from my tube amp with great results both live and in the studio. The HT-Dist offers a very useable and flexible tone that doesn't get lost in the mix. Blackstar's HT pedals are superlative contenders for even the most scrupulous of tone purists. ”

I just got back from playing Wacken, and the HT-DistX sounded absolutely killer - I didn't even bother setting up a distorted channel on the amp! The emulated output feature is f*cking awesome for recording too, and perfect for writing at home between tours. It's the heaviest sounding pedal I've ever played through bar none. ”

WOW! The HT-DIST is unbelievable. I ended up with a Pe*vey amp 'cough' so I just dialed it in clean and used the pedal and it sounded amazing! Seriously. I totally love it!”

The HT-BOOST is authentic, Warm, with Valvey Tones, a sterling addition to our collection. A small pedal with a big sound. ”

Dear Blackstar, thanks for the preview. Maybe you should change the name to 'BADASS!!'”

The HT-BOOST is exactly what I've been looking for!”

These Artisan 15 amps are just awesome! The kind of amps that simply make you play better, and give you a quality of tone that just shouldn’t be possible from a 1x12 combo! Amazing! As for the HT DUAL pedal, well, you need never be without that great sound wherever you go…bloody brilliant! ”

It's nice to see the reliability and class of British engineering and design is alive and living under the banner of 'Blackstar Amplification'”

The Artisan 30 has great tone! I’ve got three of the little f*ckers in a line! ”

I use the HT-DISTX so much more than my T**e Scr***er ‘cos it sounds better! It’s perfect for a solo boost or to beef up my tone a little bit when the engineers make me turn down my volume.”

The HT-Drive pedal brings a new level of depth, tone and gain to my guitar sound.”

The HT Boost pedal finally gives me that extra edge when I need it, without compromising on my amps tone. ”

I can honestly say the Artisan 100 is genius! Tried it with both the HT-DUAL and the HT-DIST pedals... Wicked! The sound of the amp being driven is awesome, and VERY loud! It scared the rest of the band. ”

I’ve got the HT-DUAL first channel set up as a bluesy crunch, but with the volume on the guitar, it cleans up really nicely - it's so versatile. The second channel is just pure beefy dirt, and makes open chords ring out forever!”

“The Blackstar HT-DUAL pedal has become my “go to” pedal. Its fatness, depth of sound and tonal variations are incredible. As a touring and recording artist playing music from the past four decades that have to recreate the sounds on the hits that I play from The Guess Who, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and my own recordings the HT-DUAL gets all the solo tones I need. At half the size and twice the tone of my precious twin overdrive it has become irreplaceable in my rig.” ”

The Blackstar Artisan 100 Watt head and HT Dual pedal gives me the flexibility and tone of a 3 Channel boutique amp 3 times the price! Amazing! ”

The Artisan 30 blew me away as soon as I switched it on. It gave me the clean sound I'd wanted to hear for ages, warm yet clear with just the right amount of breakup. The other thing about this amp is the volume, I had it on 10 watts and it’s still definitely one of the loudest amps I’ve ever played! ”

I've been using the HT-DISTX both live and in the studio and it sounds sick! I love the versatile range of the distortion and how thick and warm it sounds. It's definitely the best distortion pedal I've heard and the fact that its built like a tank is a huge bonus too! ”

The HT-DUAL is outstanding! I used the built-in distortion on my USA combo for about a year but was never completely happy with it as it lacked any real bottom end or aggressive mids. The HT-Dual has it all, very very happy with it!”

I've used every amplifier under the sun trying to find that elusive 'clean yet dirty' sound. The Artisan 30 is the sound I've been searching for, a perfect blend of vintage and modern.. warm, punchy, tight, and unforgiving. The pedals have been great in the studio, not just for tracking but for adding layers of filth in the mix too. The flexible EQ makes them useful on anything from drums right through to vocals. ”

The Artisan 30 is ridiculous, its bang on the sound we're after...! It’s so clear with just the right amount of break up with that vintage sound, but hifi enough to keep a really tight bottom end. So responsive and punchy. We really weren't expecting to be so impressed! ”

Blackstar gives me the best pure overdriven sound with a sturdy design that will last the distance on the road. The HT-DUAL pedal helps me push and control the sound the way I need. It really is 'the sound in your head'. Cheers to Blackstar!””

Blackstar Pedals are right up there with the best. The HT_DIST Distortion is going straight on my pedalboard, It Rocks!”

The HT-DISTX tone cuts through like a hot knife in butter, or like a shovel through cement. In other words its killer! ”

Blackstar are the holy grail of tone!, this is what a handwired head should sound like. Big, loud and a beautiful definition in the low end. The ISF function is a great innovation and shows that these guys are serious about pushing boundaries. I recently acquired a HT-DUAL pedal and was totally blown away! The versatility of this thing is amazing, it can turn any amp into a three channel tone machine, in conjunction with the artisan 100, that’s it.......I'm done....search over......mission accomplished! ”

I just love the Blackstar sound. It’s mean and precise. There was a hole in the market and Blackstar filled it! ”

The HT-DUAL is the base of my live sound. I have been searching for something this good to build on. It's Empire! ”

there's no substitute for my HT-DUAL blackstar. I've used alot of pedals in my quest for the dirtiest, heaviest bass tone but nothing compares. This valve in a box gives me that dirty heavy tone without losing any clarity. I love it! ”

The HT-BOOST is a great pedal that lets me control my tone and boost stage exactly where I want it, instead of being at the mercy of the pedal itself. Having those tone controls allows you to dial in just what you want to hear. And the switching was whisper quiet, which is key for a boost pedal. The HT-DIST not only sounds good on its own, but more importantly, sounds GREAT in a band context, which many pedals can't pull off. You will be heard with this pedal, loud and clear! ”

I played through the HT-DISTX pedal in rehearsals and it's insane! The low end is amazing!”

I was looking for one of the old American two channel pedals when our studio engineer suggested the “Blackstar HT-Dual”. Straight from opening the box it’s been fantastic. It seems very sturdy and well made with silent switching and controls that do exactly what they say, transparent boost to insane drive, the tone and the way it reacts with the guitar and amp is awesome. On top of all that for recording demo’s to p.c. the speaker emulated output knocks the spots of any of the software amps I own”

The HT-DIST was the missing weapon in my tone arsenal. But now the search is over, anytime I need some boost, crunch or fluid sustain I just step on the HT!”

Having worked with all the guys at Blackstar and knowing their passion & pedigree, I was excited to try these new handwired amps as soon as... My expectations were realised AND SOME! the clarity of sound, and at no compromise in terms of warmth, is incredible. The all valve gain of the 30 watt & sheer VOLUME of the 100 watt head make a guitar sound like a guitar. And I can see the wide variation of tone being of great value for all styles of player. A bonus is the fantastic selection of gain pedals, my favourite being the HT-DUAL enabling me to get a big, pure rock sound out of virtually any amp on fly dates. See you on tour! ”

The amps are like the best of the best. the voice switch is amazing, allowing you to dial the exact tone you want. It really is the sound in your head.. ”

The HT-DRIVE gives me incredible boost, but with a solid and warm tone that I have never achieved with any other stomp pedal. It's a monster! It sometimes frightens when I switch it on. ”

Thanks for the use of the best amps I have ever plugged a guitar into”

HT-DRIVE: Beautiful and creamy tube saturation! it beats the shit out of the big name overdrive pedals i've been using for years... HT-DUAL: What a pleasure...crunch and/or more crunch - it's like having two great independent tube amps on stage w/ you - and you can carry it in a backpack ”

Blackstar amps have the modern touch with the vintage tone”

The 4/12 kicks ass and the pedals are a must for every pedalboard freak! Keep up the f in great work and show the big boys that you lot are banging on the back door with wicked equipment!”

The HT-DUAL is quite easily the most savage, brilliant distortion pedal I've ever used. The layout is classy, it's simple to use and obviously having a valve gives it the edge over other pedals. I won't ever look back now, it's perfection personified in its style, durability and grittiness. Thanks Blackstar, here's to the future of rock!”

Nothing before has given me the control I need to produce filthy pumpin bass lines one minute and the next a more subtle distorted sound with such warmth and clarity – its dirtier than my fiancé”

Blackstar pedals are by far the best guitar foot pedals I’ve used to date. Live or in the studio the power is gigantic! The sound is big and whether you are playing to 70,000 people or 500 they have the same impact. I have used the pedal all over my new solo album and found myself unable to use my other pedals. Whether you want a Stones crunch a funky twang or a big wall of nose this is it! My Telecaster my Gretch or my Les Paul with my blackstar driven through my amps deliver nothing short of a killer sound!”

The HT-DUAL will be the basis of my new board as it will make any rental amp when traveling sound great - I have looked a long time to find distorted tones like that, thanks!”

Blackstar pedals are the most solid, versatile and ballsy effects I have ever put in front of my rig. Big sounds from Little boxes.”

I have tried a set of the Blackstar HT pedals. I’m using them in the studio and they’re amazing. The tone they produce through any amp is exceptional and the ISF control lets you pinpoint the exact sound you want. The speaker emulated output is the best I’ve heard and is great for direct recording and re-voicing guitar tracks for mixing. They are a production dream”

All the power I need under my belt”

The search is over.....I’ve found the Holy Grail of Overdrive pedals!”

The HT-DISTX is pure value filth pedal is the pedal I’ve been waiting for, a quite unique distortion which sounds unlike any of the other distortion pedals vie tried, I managed to get some fantastic un- guitar like and frankly un-god like sounds from it!!!-I’m in. The HT-DISTX filth pedal sounds amazing, I’ve recorded with it straight from the pedal into the desk and got great results, it filthier than a Blackpool hen party”

This little box transformed our sound! It's like having a little amp at your feet. And not only do they sound amazing, they look ace too...”

The pure valve filth HT-DISTX pedal is the heaviest sounding pedal I’ve ever used...can't recommend it highly enough!!!

If you need an awesomely heavy valve tone, the pure valve filth is the pedal for you...essential stuff.”

This amp's so sexy it'll put the porn industry in chaos...

This amps tone is spot on and the power that comes out of it is so dense it could crush a planet.”

I am pleased to be using Blackstar. The pedals and amps offer a variation of sounds I love to play with and listen to.”

I am really excited to be a part of the Blackstar revolution. If you're looking for guitar sounds that are organic, 3-dimensional and you can feel thru your fingertips, then you need to check these pedals out ASAP. Your ears will love you for it.”

My Artisan 30's give me just what im looking for, glassy bell like chimes on clean, running into a warm natural crunch when the EL84s really start to get working. The best amp since 1969.”

The Artisan sounds like a valve amp should sound, the clarity, warmth and above all the TONE is outstanding, this amp isn’t hiding behind a wall of fizz, it’s pure valve tone all the way”
