The legendary HT series from Blackstar has undergone its most significant evolution yet with the introduction of the HT MK III range, bringing cutting-edge technology to the beloved valve amplifier lineup. This award-winning series has long been a cornerstone for professional and aspiring musicians alike, prized for its pristine tone delivery in a remarkably compact form factor that suits both home practice and studio recording environments.

The HT-1R MK III maintains all the celebrated characteristics of its predecessors whilst introducing the revolutionary CabRig DSP speaker simulator technology.
