When combined with one or even two Blackstar HT METAL 112 speaker cabinets you have the perfect half or full mini stack for the house. This compact head is capable of anything from classic metal to modern mega gain. This is largely down to the inclusion of even more gain and the Blackstar Amps ISF.

Combined with the EQ on the front panel it lets you create your own sounds.
