Blackstar HT 1 - The Original 1 Watt Tube Amp

Today I demo the Blackstar HT-1, the original 1W amp (Available in Head or Combo). The version I demo here is the HT-1R combo. This amp and me go way back. I bought it in 2011 shortly after starting university. I needed an amp that was affordable, quiet enough to use in a shared flat, had a cab sim out, yet still had the option to run to an external cab for studio recording.
