Description
The HT Stage 60's selected duet of EL34s deliver 60W of glorious tube power through two high-quality Celestion speakers, making for a combo that will deliver every night, even in the most testing live environment. The 'boutique' style clean channel is extremely versatile with two modes: 'British Class-A' and 'dynamic US'. Each of the two ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) equipped overdrive channels allows a further two modes.The Clean Channel has two modes, 'boutique' and 'modern' and its own Tone control provides a wide range of clean tones. The Voice switch reconfigures both the preamplifier voicing and gain structure, and the power amplifier damping, to reproduce either ringing Class A Performance in the 'boutique' mode, or very clean and tight Class AB tones in the 'modern' setting.The Overdrive Channel has its own EQ section and a Voice switch that allows the character of the channel to be changed, providing a wide variety of overdriven tones. The channel is characterized by a tone that's high in gain, but lacks any of the detached top-end 'fizz' often found in similar designs. This is a result of unique preamplifier and power amplifier shaping techniques, which cleans up the overdrive beautifully as the guitar volume is reduced. Even at the most extreme settings, the overdrive channel remains natural sounding. The ISF control is unique to Blackstar Amplification and represents a major step forward in tone shaping flexibility. The ISF control shifts the response of the three-control tone stack between a US-type response at one end, and at the other a UK-type response. There are an infinite number of alternative tone choices in between the two extremes that would be otherwise unavailable.The HT Soloist 60 also features a completely natural sounding digital reverb, which is outstandingly musical on both clean and crunch tones and raises the benchmark for guitar amplifier specific reverb design. A Dark/Bright switch allows the overall reverb characteristics to be modified to suit different tastes and playing styles.
