HT-1R MKII Guitar Tube Amplifier

The HT-1R MK III takes the award-winning MkII series’ acclaimed design to the next level with incredible performance, stunning looks, and groundbreaking new features, from enhanced voicings to the inclusion of our IR-based CabRig™ speaker simulator software.

Big valve tone, small amplifier. Valve amps sound best when they are played loud; the unique feel, dynamics, and natural compression of a valve amp running at full tilt is widely considered to be the holy grail of guitar tone. The problem is that running your 100W valve amp at this volume is not practical, either for yourself or your neighbours. Our HT-1R MK III, with its unique push-pull power amp, gives you this coveted valve performance at volumes appropriate for home practice and recording.

Voicing Options. The HT-1R MK III has 2 channels, clean and overdrive, each with 2 voicings. With the HT-1R MK III, each Voice switch introduces comprehensive circuit changes in both the preamp and power amp to reproduce authentic reference tones without compromise. This includes EQ voicing, the tone stack position in the circuit, gain and power amp damping. Achieve diverse tonal options at the push of a button!

Perfect for playing and recording. As well as delivering instantly recordable valve tones at any volume, the HT-1R MK III is equipped with a direct USB-C output which allows 2 channels (left and right) to be sent to your DAW. This provides the easiest way to capture authentic valve tones into recordings, without the need for an interface. Best of all? These amps have built-in overload protection, meaning you can use them without a speaker cabinet connected for silent practice and recording.

IR-based CabRig™ Speaker Simulator. CabRig™, our class-leading IR-based speaker simulator, comes as standard on the HT-1R MK III, offering hundreds of different cabinet, mic, and room combinations. Save your favourites to three presets for easy access direct from the amp. Get high-quality valve tones to your headphones, monitors and mixes.
