Guitar combo amplifier Blackstar HT Club 40 MK III

The Blackstar HT Club 40 MK III is a 40W all-valve guitar combo amp designed for guitarists seeking both boutique-quality clean tones and modern high-gain overdrives in one compact unit. Featuring ECC83 valves in the preamp and EL34s in the power stage, this amp delivers the dynamic response and tonal character of a true tube amplifier.

It offers two channels (Clean and Overdrive), each with two selectable voices that significantly alter the amp’s internal circuitry — including tone stack position, EQ, damping, and gain structure. This provides a wide range of tones from sparkling boutique cleans to saturated lead overdrive.

The integrated CabRig™ system provides professional-level speaker cabinet emulation with extensive mic, cabinet, and room settings. The amp features USB-C for direct recording into a DAW, an XLR D.I. output, and a headphone output. Additional features include an effects loop, digital reverb with “Dark” and “Light” modes, power reduction down to 4W, and a master volume control.
