Blackstar Venue HT40 MkII Valve Guitar Amp in Royal Blue

We’re big fans of Blackstar amps, here at Noisegate. One of our favourites is their HT Venue MkII for its versatility and tone, as well as having the ability to record (or send to a PA) directly. Blackstar has just released a limited-edition Royal Blue version of this amp, that not only looks the business but genuinely makes you play better. Ok, that might be a stretch, but you’ll definitely look the part!

Ready to play the blues through a blue amp that sounds huge and has such a range of tones in it that you could also play everything from Jazz to Metal on it too?

It comes equipped with two incredibly versatile voices per channel that not only adapt the EQ response but completely reconfigure the valve gain structure, so, check out the Limited Edition Royal Blue HT Venue MkII at a Blackstar dealer near you!
