The HT-5R MkII breaks new ground by capturing the full-bodied crunch of a massive 100W valve stack at whisper-quiet volumes that won’t upset the neighbours. This innovative approach solves the age-old problem of achieving authentic valve tone without excessive volume levels.
At the heart of this design sits a carefully engineered low-powered push-pull power amplifier that recreates the natural break-up characteristics found in traditional high-wattage output stages. The secret lies in maintaining the harmonic richness and dynamic response that players expect from proper valve amplification.
The amplifier utilises a 12BH7 dual triode valve configured in push-pull arrangement, generating 5 watts of output power. This configuration produces the coveted valve harmonics and natural compression that define classic tube tone, ensuring your sound remains full and musical even at the lowest practice volumes.
