www.ProGuitarShop.com - The Blackstar HT-DistX will transform the most civilized valve amp into a fire-breathing, ultra high gain machine of filth and fury. Yeah, its that nasty. This pedal is specifically designed for modern guitarists that demand high gain voltage valve tones for extreme, progressive, and other heavy styles. With its design however, dynamics are present, and the distortion comes across as completely natural and organic with its ECC83/12AX7 valve. Do you need utter devastation in your tone while also needing maximum tonal shaping options? The Blackstar HT-DistX is the pedal for you. The level and gain work in conjunction to achieve the drive and volume necessary for your overdrive. The bass, middle, and treble knobs also act to supremely shape your sound. Scooped mids? You havent heard scooped mids until youve heard the Blackstar HT-DistXs scooped mids. Crank those mids, though, and sustaining, stinging leads are at your fingertips. The DistX also features Blackstars patent-applied-for ISF knob, or the Infinite Shape Feature. This knob when turned completely clockwise, will give you a characteristic UK distortion. Turned counter-clockwise, it will give you American tones. Dont be afraid to blend these, with just some fine adjustments. Now you see why the tonal options here are amazing. If youre seeking extreme levels of sonic mayhem, the Blackstar HT DistX is the pedal for you. - proguitarshop.com
The HT-DISTX is a no compromise, ultra high gain, filth machine. The tone has been benchmarked against the best high-gain valve amps in the world and will transform your mild mannered classic into a fire breathing monster. The patent applied - for ISF control takes you from 'Classic British' to 'Modern American' and anywhere in between and the no compromise speaker emulated output lets you get it all down to tape or disk.
Folks, enjoy this demo of the Blackstar HT-DISTX Pedal. Some features of this pedal include : all tube (valve) design, operation at 300 volts (like an amp!), cascaded valve gain stages (like an amp!), buffered input keeps the guitar interaction (feel) intact, just like when plugged directly into an amp! This pedal is also stage or studio ready, in that it has a speaker emulated output. In fact - in this video, I ran the pedal directly into my mixing board (via DAW), so you can see & hear exactly what this would / could sound like on your recording work. Other features include the Blackstar ISF (Infinate Shape Feature of US / UK tones), rock solid metal construction, silent switching, etc. I hope you enjoy this video! As always, Rock ON, signed, TTK.

Pure Valve Filth...some different high gain sounds (Playing riffs of porcupine tree, Lamb of God and Soundgarden) from the Blackstar HT-DistX Pedal, through a Blackstar HT-60 Clean channel + also a recording from the Pedals Emulated Output DI into a DAW.
Hey all, I was recently asked to make a demo of this distortion so here it is. Bare in mind I'm not trying to show off my playing at all, but the tones and functions of the pedal. Enjoy.
