Blackstar HT-1R 1-Watt Tube Guitar Combo Amplifier – Reverb, ISF EQ & Emulated Output
 
Compact all-valve Blackstar practice amp with rich tube tone, onboard reverb, and recording-friendly headphone/emulated output
This Blackstar HT-1R is a compact tube guitar combo amp designed for home practice, recording, and lower-volume playing where you still want real amp feel and character. It gives you classic Blackstar styling with the black textured cabinet, woven front grille, gold trim, carry handle, chrome control knobs, and a simple top-mounted control layout. With gain, volume, ISF EQ, reverb, overdrive select, MP3/line input, emulated output/headphone jack, and external speaker output, it is a very useful small amp for players who want proper tone without needing a large stage amp.
 
Condition:
Like new physical and working condition with no issues or imperfections. The cabinet, grille cloth, handle, corner protectors, control panel, knobs, switches, jacks, rear panel, and overall exterior all present very cleanly.
Fully powered on and tested. Power light comes on properly, and the amp is in excellent working order.
