Features
The HT METAL 1 is the perfect studio and practice amp, packing all the innovative
features of the award-winning HT-1 valve amp and kicking up the gain to produce a
true metal beast. 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 1 ideally suited to home and studio use, the aim was to
develop a valve amp which sounded full and toneful even at the lowest volume
level. With this in mind, the HT METAL 1 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 an
ECC82 dual triode in push-pull configuration producing 1 Watt output, which is rich
in valve harmonics and compression.
The HT METAL 1 also has a fully specified speaker emulated output which further
enhances the studio credentials and allows any guitarist to get amazing valve metal
tones straight to tape or disk, or through headphones.
Add to this an MP3/line input, along with a 4-16Ω speaker output which allows
you to run the amp into an external speaker cabinet of your choice and you have
everything you need for recording or practising.
