I just bought a blackstar ht5rw all tube,I bought it for bedroom playing but not realizing 5watts is way to load..so the first one I got at musicians friend I kinda killed it by not working it properly,so they sent me a new one before I sent them the broken one.now I don't know of any other supplier that would do that.but I am really thinking of trading it in for a 1 watt.and one more thing musicians friend gave me 30 percent off the amp so it went from $499 to$353 now that's a deal.i just need to educate my selve on tube amps.for one I never knew u had to turn the standby on first to warm the tubes oops.but overall it's a great bedroom amp if u go with the ht1r,cause my 5 watts will shatter the windows. It has a effects loop and and effects loop swicth emulated 2 x12. And 4 x12 voicing and headphone jack for silent recording.and most importiant is the tone I think it sounds great right out the box..good luck ppl.
