HT Club 40
The Blackstar HT Club 40 is a 2-channel, footswitchable combo (Footswitch included). Looking inside, 2x EL34 power amp valves and 2x ECC83 preamp valves power this amp, this is the classic combination first introduced in the '60's by Marshall amplification, only here Blackstar take the idea much further with the groundbreaking features such as the Infinite Shape Feature (ISF) which controls the characteristics of the power amp tubes, you can choose to use the amp to sound like an American amplifier, smooth and crisp or a British amplifier, hard hitting and powerful and everywhere in between. The HT Club also incorporates an effects loop and a direct out for recording without the need to mic up. The 12" Celestion Seventy 80 speaker is crisp and detailed with a bright top end, combined with the amplifier section this makes for a very powerful package.

"Made up with it"
Overall Rating Posted on 15/06/2012 by fleaz
I bought the Club 40 in Dec 10 and I'm still made up with it :)
I landed on the Blackstar after touring the North West's music shops trying a range of valve amps (after regrettably switching to a solid state 4 years back).
I have used the amp for a number of applications and it's been great. As a rehearsal amp it was great at finding the right tone for my current band (alternative rock) which ports really well onto the stage. The amp has more than enough punch to fill your average pub venue and the speaker emulated output is great for DI situations.
As for recording with the club 40, it's recently stood up nicely against a vintage VOX AC30 (both blended sounds great!).
The cabinet's pretty robust and the unit as a whole has never given me a single problem. Blackstar offered a 5 year warranty on the amp and fingers crossed I shouldn't need to call them, however web forums have scored them pretty high on customer service.
For the price I have yet to find an amp that could match it. -
Amazing piece of kit.

A Blackstar HT-40 is an absolutely awesome amp. I've gigged with all sorts of different amp set-ups but I'm sticking with Blackstar from now. The HT-40 is the perfect amp for anyone, playing any genre, at any level. It's small enough to use at home as a practice amp, but also big enough to be used as a touring amp. The sound is so clear; you don't get that "Muddy-ness" that you sometimes get with other amps when you kick it into overdrive.
I'd liken it to the Fender Hot Rod, but the Blackstar is much more versatile in my opinion. It just handles everything you put through it.
It's made of tough stuff too, been rattling around in the back of cars & vans on the way to and from gigs and there's hardly a scratch on it. I've had absolutely no problems with my HT-40.
It’s a great recording amp too as you can take a direct out, straight into the desk.
I'm looking forward to playing (and owning) a few more Blackstar amps in the future! -
