Looking for an HT-5 (Blackstar) with more power and Reverb?

Just introduced at NAMM. Could be sweet. There's a 20 watt, 40 watt, 60 watt and 100 watt being released.

I can't wait to try the 20 watt version... am very curious if it deals with low volumes in a similar way to the ht-5. If it does, (and has more headroom, which it will), it sounds perfect to me!

Yeah, I'm buying the 20 watter for sure.

Once they hit the stores where can we buy this? I heard that Guitar Center stopped Carrying Blackstar. Is this true?

Saw this in Total Guitar magazine over here in the UK. These all look pretty sweet! I don't really need them for now, but if I start gigging I know which amps I'll be looking at first!

Hopefully they won't take a year to hit the U.S. like the series one did.

I e-mailed Blackstar and they told me that these would be available in the US around mid March. That means April if you ask me!
The 20 watt head has a street price of $629. I never did break down and buy the HT-5 although it looked and sounded great. The new 20 watter will be in my possession within weeks of hitting the US.
