Got the 40w combo, EL34s. VERY versatile!

[@WesDeWees-wf2xo]

I'm going to be testing the Blackstar ht studio 20 against the Marshall jcm 800 20 watt tube head tomorrow

[@joelewis7072]

I'd love to see that... please 🙏

[@MaxNMyles]

Bad ass riff at 6:57!

[@joelewis7072]

Dude your getting great tones from that Black Star Amp...
I never take my nice amps on the road
I always bring my HT Studio 20 heads..
And when Im on a gear search in a new town... if I see a older HT 20 Studio head.... I buy it.... always as a back up
My nice amps stay home...🙂👍
Because you can find BS ht 20 cheap $300 usually sometimes $250...
My 1964 black panel Fender vibrolux reverb cost me $ 4000....its a no brainier really. Black star GT 20 all the way.......😎👍

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@Glensully]

whats a good 20-50 amp head then?

[@KaddysJamKave]

I've bought several lower watt amps this year... and they just don't do it for me. They all lack a presence knob and I feel they really need it because the tone is too dark for my liking and I'm forced to do the 10 band EQ in the Fxloop trick... No more mini amps for me unless they have that presence knob at least.

[@stolenlaptop]

I end up turning the bass down on these amps and it helps, my only issue with a presence control is sometimes all it adds is that sizzle sound which I don't care for.

[@RamMasterRay]

If your Mesa is wired at 8ohm, try a cab wired at 16ohm. That should be less "boxy". But the low mid sound it has now is pretty cool as it is.

[@Crypticmaskguitar]

Same issue with 8ohm and 16ohm cabinets. It records well. Cheers -Ryan

[@digipeet2866]

[@cblizard6850]

[@cblizard6850]
