Those Blackstars are pretty solid amps! I just bought one to replace an old amp in our department. Affordable, good cleans, some digital drive if you need it, and it’s not heavy at all. I haven’t used it a ton yet, but we’ve got a Twin Reverb, and the Blackstar works great for our students’ shows. So far, I’ve been happy with it!

I have an HT1, and I absolutely love it. It’s small but sounds great. I’m thinking about getting a 12" cab for it, though I’m not sure it even needs one. It sounds pretty awesome just as it is.

Koa tops are amazing!

Hey, make sure to take off the clip-on tuner when you’re done. If you ever get a Gibson, leaving it on will damage the nitro finish. It can burn through the finish and leave marks that are pretty visible, especially on lighter colors.

I just got a Gibson, but I don’t use clip-on tuners. What exactly happens if I leave one on?

If you leave it on, the rubber feet on the clip-on tuner react with the nitro finish. This causes a burn mark that’s visible, especially on lighter finishes like white.

That Koa wood looks amazing!
