NOT a Blackheart. :glasses9:
I'm looking at the HT-5 head, which is similar to the blackHEART little giant (5w tube amp, except the HT is a/b class and not a class), but with a clean channel as well :cool01:
i was gonna buy a blackheart to run at the same time as my h&k, but need (read: want) the flexibility of the clean channel too.
plus i couldn't really be bothered buying new tubes/mods etc etc. or course, none of this "needs" to be done, but pretty much everyone here has said that it kinda DOES need some tinkering. and i would have a good time modding it i'm sure, but would possibly break something also (i have zero experience tinkering with amps) :tard:
the thing is, i know you can get a "clean" sound the old-school way; by rolling back the volume, but this would also effect my H&K's sound too. also, i am the vocalist (as well as only guitarist) in my band, and it's WAY easier for me to step on a channel switch than play with volumes knobs mid-song/mid-riff/mid-melody :binkybaby:
i figure i'll position the footswitch next to my H&Ks footswitch, and hit them at the same time to go clean/dirty in one foul swoop :evil4:
the blackstar is a bit more expensive, but not by any obscene amount. and i'm planning on a straight trade with my local music shop, trading in all the gear i don't use anymore.
only one review on HC and is pretty positive. :guitaristgif:
