Features
The HT METAL 5 is the ultimate studio and practice metal guitar amp, packing all the
great tone and innovative features of the award-winning HT valve pedals into a two
channel, footswitchable valve amp format. The patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)
circuit gives you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control
network and takes you from classic British heavy metal to modern US scooped
high gain and anywhere in between. So now you can effectively design your own
tone and finally find 'the sound in your head'.
In making the HT METAL 5 ideally suited to home and studio use, the aim was to
develop a valve amp which sounded full and toneful even at low volume levels.
With this in mind the HT METAL 5 power amplifier is a low powered push-pull
design which produces the crunch and break-up characteristics of a traditional
100W output stage but at a much lower volume. This is achieved by the use of a
12BH7 dual triode in push-pull configuration producing 5 Watts output, rich in valve
harmonics and compression.
The HT METAL 5 also has a fully specified stereo speaker emulated output which
further enhances the studio credentials and allows any guitarist to get amazing
valve metal tone straight to tape or disk, or through headphones. It also features the
unique 4x12/1x12 voicing switch allowing you to change the tonal characteristics of
the emulated signal between two cabinet types.
The stereo speaker emulated output can be used at the same time as the internal
speaker/extension cab, providing headphone free monitoring or the choice to blend
a mic'd speaker and emulated signal together for unrivalled usability when recording
at home or in the studio. In addition the speaker output can be turned off for 'silent'
practice or recording.
Add to this an effects loop with switchable level, 16Ω and 8Ω speaker outputs which
allow you to run the amp into an external speaker cabinet of your choice, and a
stereo MP3/line in allowing you to jam along to your favourite tracks and you have
everything you need for recording or practising.
