Blackstar HT-Metal-5H 5W Guitar Head

Blackstar HT-5RH MK III 5W Tube Guitar Amp Head

The Blackstar HT-5RH MK III is a compact yet powerful tube amp head designed for players who want premium tone and modern flexibility. Updated with Blackstar’s innovative CabRig technology, this 5-watt amp delivers everything from pristine cleans to high-gain overdrive, making it perfect for practice, recording, and small performance setups.

Featuring two independent channels, the HT-5RH MK III offers a clear, articulate clean channel and a versatile overdrive channel with a full 3-band EQ. Each channel includes a Voice switch to expand tonal options, while Blackstar’s signature ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control lets you dial in everything from tight, aggressive American tones to warm, saturated British-style gain.

The built-in power scaling allows you to reduce output down to 0.5 watts, making it easy to achieve rich tube saturation at lower volumes. A built-in effects loop ensures seamless integration with your pedalboard, while CabRig DSP speaker simulation provides studio-quality direct tones without needing a mic.

With multiple output options including 1/4", XLR, and USB-C, the HT-5RH MK III is equally at home on stage, in the studio, or at your desk.
