The Blackstar HT Venue series has been breaking the quality/price barrier for years. With the release of the line's flagship HT Stage 100 MK II all-tube head, the company continues to build on that value-packed legacy. The amp's three channels are vastly shapeable, giving you access to studio-quality tones at any gain range. And with player- and studio-friendly features such as power reduction, emulated line-output, and two voices of reverb, the HT Stage 100 MK II delivers a higher level of quality and flexibility than ever before.

Tube Amp vs Solid State -?What's the Difference?


Boutique-style clean and driven tones





The clean channel features a voice switch, which lets you select between a British Class A and a US dynamic clean tone. What's more, the overdrive channels also feature a voice switch, which selects between a more aggressive modern sound and a flatter, classic sound. Whether you're looking for a pedal-platform clean, edge-of-breakup grit, or searing drive, these revoiced channels will get you there. With all these tone-shaping options, virtually no tone is out of reach for the Blackstar HT Stage 100 MK II head.





Loaded with player-friendly additions





The tone of the HT Stage 100 MK II is well worth the price of admission. But Blackstar knows what players want. And they loaded this already great-sounding all-tube amp head with enough features to ensure it quickly becomes your go-to gigging and recording amp. The revoiced reverb offers more depth and detail than ever before. Nailing cranked tones at appropriate volume levels is easy thanks to the onboard power reduction circuit. Beyond that, the emulated line-out and USB audio output will make you your sound engineer's best friend.





Patented Infinite Shape Feature





The Blackstar HT Stage 100 MK II amp head is packed with a massive variety of tube tone, by virtue of Blackstar's Infinite Shape Feature (ISF). This exclusive feature shifts the EQ curves of the amplifier's Bass, Middle, and Treble controls. When turned fully counterclockwise, you'll lend an American characteristic to your voice with a tight bottom end and aggressive middle. Turned all the way to the right, you'll enjoy more of a British vibe. Beyond that, four different operating modes can be accessed via a pair of Voice switches, unleashing both vintage and modern voicings for each channel.
