From pure boutique cleans, to mild\noverdrive that cleans up by backing off the guitar volume control, right up to\nsaturated distortion, this amp does it all. From chiming ‘boutique’ cleans, to\non the edge crunch, or full-on distortion, HT-20 MK III deliver ‘the sound in\nyour head’.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConcentrated, to Concert-Rated\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HT-20R\nMK III comes equipped with a power reduction feature taking you down to 2W\nwithout any tonal compromise, perfect for driving those EL84’s hard at\nmanageable volumes in the studio or home. When you’re ready to take to the\nstage, switch to full 20W and utilise the XLR DI output to simultaneously feed\ndirect to the sound engineer with incredible sounding cabinet simulation via the\nCabRig IR-based speaker simulator software.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for Playing and Recording\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlongside\nproviding capture-ready valve tones at any volume, the HT-20R MK III comes\nequipped with a direct USB-C output which can send 2 channels (left and right)\nto your DAW, ensuring the easiest way to capture authentic valve tone in\nrecordings without the need for an interface. The best part is that these amps\nhave in-built load protection, meaning you can use them without a cabinet\nconnected for silent practice and recording.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIR-Based CabRig Speaker Simulator\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCabRig, the class-leading\nIR-based speaker simulator comes as standard in the HT-20R MK III, offering\nhundreds of different cabinet, mic, and room combinations.

The power reduction is achieved not by load resistors,\nwhich affect the tone in an undesirable way due to changing the output\ntransformer and speaker reactance, but by controlling the internal working\nvoltages of the power stage, both HT (high voltage) and bias. This limits power\noutput without affecting the tone shaping of the output stage and feedback\nloop, so your basic tone remains the same, with power amp overdrive occurring\nat much lower volume levels, giving the feel of a small valve amp verging on\nmeltdown.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecord without a Cabinet\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHT-20R MK\nIII has in-built load protection; this means you can use the head for direct\nUSB recording or headphone practice without the need for a connected cabinet,\nmaking it the ultimate portable practice and recording rig.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eState-Of-The-Art Voicing Circuitry\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach Voice switch\nmakes radical and extensive circuit changes in both the preamp and the power\namp, including the EQ voicing, the tone stack position in the circuit, the gain\nand the power amp damping to provide unique flexibility in tonal options - all\nat the press of a single switch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KORG USA INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51473785782566,"sku":"HT20RHMK3","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/9803\/0886\/files\/3391474.jpg?v=1758929797","url":"https:\/\/www.focusproaudio.com\/products\/blackstar-ht20rhmk3-guitar-amps-amp-heads","provider":"Focus Pro Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
