Features
This HT Venue MK III is a highly versatile amplier suited to a wide range of
playing styles and situations.
The Clean Channel has two voices; one based on a classic American circuit
and the other based on a classic British tone. The Voice switch recongures
the preamp voicing, EQ and valve gain structure, as well as the power amplier
damping. This produces a clean, bright, solid bass response for the American
tone and a highly responsive ‘chime’ with looser bottom for the British tone that
can be pushed into a midrange overdrive when driven hard. The Voice setting
can also be selected via footcontroller.
The HT Stage MK III has two Overdrive channels which share a common EQ
section and, like the Clean Channel, each of the Overdrive channels has a Voice
switch which allows the character of each channel to be changed, providing a
broad palette of overdriven tones.
As with the Clean Channel, each of these voices can also be selected by
footcontroller. When switching between channels, the amplier will recall the
specic Voice setting last used on that channel.
The Overdrive channels are characterised by a tone which is high in gain, but avoids
any of the detached top-end ‘zz’ often found in other designs. This is a result of
unique preamplier and power amplier shaping techniques, which also benet the
player in the way the overdrives clean up beautifully as the guitar volume is reduced.
Even at the most extreme settings, the Overdrive channels remain natural sounding.
The patented ISF (Innite Shape Feature) control is unique to Blackstar Amplication
and represents a major step forward in tone shaping exibility. The ISF control shifts
the response of the three control tone stack between, a US type response at one
end, and at the other, a UK type response. Importantly, in between the two extremes
lie an innite number of alternative tone choices that would be otherwise unavailable.
The amplier features naturally sounding digital reverb that can be adjusted via
the Reverb control on the front panel or turned on and o via the optional 5-way
footcontroller. A switch on the rear panel selects between ‘Dark’ and ‘Light’. The Dark
setting is based on a room reverb and the Light setting is based on a plate reverb.
The reverb decay times can also be adjusted dierently for each channel by
connecting via USB to our proprietary Architect software.
A Power Switch is provided on the front panel to switch the amplier between full
power and 10% power. This means that the full tonal depth of the valve power
stage can be enjoyed at any volume, retaining the distinctive sound of power
valves working hard.
A USB connector allows for sending up to 4 channels of the guitar signal (dry,
preamp out and stereo emulated out) into a computer for recording purposes.
It also enables the connection to the previously mentioned Architect software for
deep editing of not only the reverb, but also extensive control of CabRig parameters
for power amp/speaker/cabinet/mic/room emulations from the USB, balanced DI
and stereo headphone/line outputs, for practicing, recording and live use.

Front Panel
1. Input
Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.
If no connection is made then the power amplier will automatically switch to a safe
‘standby’ mode. In situations where the user wants to use the power amp (Return
to Speaker Outputs) without the preamp(s) (Input to Send) – for example; when
using the amp as a second amp in a stereo rig, or if connecting an external multi-
eects or modelling unit to the Return – then, to un-mute the power amp, connect a
jack plug (preferably shorted) or short ‘patch lead’ to the Input and turn the channel
controls to minimum.
Clean Channel
2. Clean Select Switch
Press this switch to select the Clean Channel. When the green LED is on, the Clean
Channel is selected.
3. Clean Volume
This controls the volume of the Clean Channel. Turning it clockwise increases
the volume. At extreme clockwise settings the preamplier will start to overdrive,
particularly in the ‘British’ mode which is with white Voice LED on.
4. Clean Voice Switch
This is a momentary toggle switch that selects between the two clean voices. The
‘American’ setting is very clean and bright but with a solid low end; this Voice is
selected when the Voice LED is unlit. The ‘British’ setting has a looser bass response
with warmer mid-range and is very sensitive to the output level of the guitar and the
player’s dynamics; this Voice is selected when the Voice LED is lit. The EQ voicing and
valve gain structure is completely recongured between each voice.
5. Bass
The Bass control adjusts the amount of bass frequencies in your tone. Fully counter
clockwise the sound will be tighter in character. Rotating the control clockwise will
progressively increase the bass response of the channel.
6. Treble
The Treble control allows adjustment of the treble frequencies within the sound. At
low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be warm and darker in character. As
the Treble control is rotated clockwise the sound will become brighter.
OD 1 (Overdrive 1) Channel
7. OD 1 Select Switch
Press this switch to select the OD 1 Channel. When the orange LED is on, the OD
1 Channel is selected.
8. OD 1 Gain
The OD 1 Gain control adjusts the amount of the OD 1 Channel’s overdrive or
distortion. Low settings (anti-clockwise) will deliver a clean sound on the edge
of break-up. As the Gain control is increased clockwise the sound will become
more overdriven, moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full
distorted tone is reached.
9. OD 1 Volume
This control adjusts the overall volume of the OD 1 Channel. Turning it clockwise
increases the volume.
This control is for balancing the volumes between the three channels. Its setting
will depend on the other Gain and Volume settings, as well as the specic needs
of the user.
10. OD 1 Voice Switch
This is a momentary toggle switch that selects between the two voices of the OD 1
Channel. When the associated white LED is unlit, this channel has a ‘classic’ overdrive
voicing. With the white LED lit the overdrive sound has a more ‘modern’ voicing, with
a greater bass response and a looser, more aggressive sound due to reduced power
amp damping.
OD 2 (Overdrive 2) Channel
11. OD 2 Select Switch
Press this switch to select the OD 2 Channel. When the red LED is on, the OD 2
Channel is selected.
12. OD 2 Gain
The OD 2 Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion in this channel.
With low settings (anti-clockwise) the tone will be mildly overdriven. As the Gain
control is increased clockwise the sound will turn from crunch to a high gain,
saturated lead tone.
13. OD 2 Volume
This controls the overall volume of the OD 2 Channel. Turning it clockwise increases
the volume.
Again, this control is for balancing the volumes between the three channels. Its
setting will depend on the other Gain and Volume settings, as well as the specic
needs of the user.
14. OD 2 Voice Switch
This is a momentary toggle switch that selects between the two voices of the OD 2
Channel. With the associated white LED unlit this channel has a ‘classic’ but ‘hot-
rodded’ overdrive, with medium power amp damping. With the white LED lit the
overdrive sound has a more ‘modern’ voicing that includes a strong mid-emphasised
pre-overdrive boost, as well as a looser, more aggressive sound due to reduced
power amp damping.

1110
OD 1 and OD 2 EQ
15. Bass
The Bass control adjusts the amount of low-end frequencies in your tone. This amp
has an advanced tone shaping circuit which allows the tone to be varied from tight
and cutting when counter clockwise, to warm and thumping when fully clockwise.
16. Middle
The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle
frequencies in your tone. The middle frequencies are
particularly important in setting the amount of ‘body’
your tone has. With the Middle control set to its minimum
position (fully counter clockwise) the sound will be
aggressive and scooped, a tone ideal for aggressive
rhythm playing. As the Middle control is increased
(clockwise) the amount of ‘body’ is increased, which is
more suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.
17. Treble
The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the
sound. At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be warm and darker in
character. As the Treble control is increased (clockwise) the sound will become
brighter. At the maximum settings the sound will be aggressive and cutting.
18. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)
The patented ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass, Middle and Treble
controls. It allows you to choose the exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully counter
clockwise has a more American characteristic with a tight bottom-end and more
aggressive middle, and fully clockwise has a British characteristic which is more
‘woody’ and less aggressive.
Unlike conventional ‘contour’ controls and parametric equalisation systems, the Bass,
Middle and Treble controls remain interactive with each other just like in a traditional
guitar amplier tone stack. This leads to a very familiar, musical response.
Master
19. Reverb
The Reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb eect. With the control fully
counter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increase
the amount of reverb.
The Reverb tone can be adjusted by the Dark/Light switch on the rear panel. The
Reverb decay times can be adjusted for the Clean and OD channels by connecting
to our Architect deep-editing software.
20. Resonance (HT Stage 60 212 MK III and HT Stage 100 MK III only)
TThe Resonance control sets the overall bass response of the amplier. At lower
settings the cleans will be tight and funky and overdrives will be focused in their bass
response. At increased settings the clean sounds will become full and warm, whilst
the crunch and overdrive tones will be more bass heavy and resonant.
English
English
21. Presence
The Presence control sets the overall treble response of the amplifer. Percussive
high-end can be accentuated on clean sounds and the amount of aggressive treble
controlled with crunch and overdrive settings.
22. Volume
This controls the overall volume of your amplier. Turning it clockwise increases the volume .
23. Power Switch
This switch allows the reduction of the output stage from full power down to
10% power. This means the full tonal depth of the valve power amplier can
be enjoyed at lower volumes, therefore making the HT Venue MK III ideal for
recording, smaller gigs and even home practise use. Working in conjunction with
the power reduction systems.
24. Power Indicator Light
The Power Indicator will light when the amplier is switched on.
25. Standby
This switch enables the output stage. Always turn this switch on at least 30 seconds
after the Power switch (26) and preferably turn the Power switch o after switching
to Standby. During short breaks in playing use just this switch to turn ‘o’ and ‘on’
the amplier’s output. To prevent any unwanted noise being sent to your speaker(s)
we recommend always switching to Standby for a few seconds before switching
the main Power switch to OFF.
26. Power
This switch is used to turn the amplier on and o. You should always turn this
switch on before turning on the Standby switch (25).
Rear Panel
1. Mains Fuse
The value of the Mains Fuse is specied on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of the
incorrect value or attempt to bypass it.

WARNING: The output marked ‘1x16 Ohm’ should never be used at the same
time as any of the outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ or ‘1x4 Ohm or 2x8
Ohm’ outputs. The outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ or ‘1x4 Ohm or 2x8
Ohm’ outputs should never be used at the same time. Failure to correctly match the
impedance of the amplier and speakers will damage the amplier.
5. CabRig Output – Mono Balanced XLR Socket
This output provides a balanced, low impedance connection to a recording device,
stage box or mixing desk using a standard XLR cable.
6. CabRig Output - Stereo Line Out / Phones Socket
This output provides a stereo unbalanced connection to a recording device or mixing
desk. Always use a good quality screened TRS lead. The stereo jack socket also
accommodates connection of headphones, allowing you to practice silently.
NOTE: Both the XLR and Stereo Emulated outputs remain active even when in
Standby mode. This allows for silent recording or practice when the amplier is in
Standby, regardless of any connected speaker.
7. CabRig Switch
The switch enables you to instantly select between one of the three stored CabRig
presets. This will apply to both the balanced XLR, Line Out / Phones and the
relevant USB outputs.
English
English
8. Reverb Dark/Light
With the switch in the ‘out’ position (Dark) the reverb is voiced to have a warm
‘room’ quality. Set to the ‘in’ position (Light), the reverb is voiced to have a bright,
airy quality, typical of a ‘plate’ style reverb. The setting chosen will apply to all
channels and voices.
9. Effects Loop Level
The Eects Loop Level switch sets the eects loop to either +4dBV/-10dBV, which
enables you to use it with either professional equipment (+4dBV setting), or with
guitar level eects such as eects pedals (-10dBV setting).
10. Effects Loop Return
Connect the (mono) output of an external eects unit here.
11. Effects Loop Send
Connect the (mono) input of an external eects unit here.
12. 5-Way Footcontroller Socket
The optional 5-way FS-14 footcontroller (not supplied), is connected here. This
footcontroller enables instant access to all channels and voices, plus the global
boost function and Reverb switching. This should be connected to your amplier
using the cable provided with the FS-14. Alternatively a good quality shielded guitar
cable may be used.
Pressing a Channel button on the footcontroller once will select the relevant channel.
Pressing the currently selected channel will toggle its voice. The previously selected
Voice will be retained for each Channel when switching to it. The Boost switch will
provide a 6dB volume boost that can be applied to any Channel and Voice, and the
Reverb switch will turn the eect on and o for all channels.
13. 2-Way Footswitch Socket
The supplied 2-way footswitch is connected here. The FS-15 footswitch enables
the selection of the Clean Channel’s two voices, and a chosen Voice from each
Overdrive Channel.
Pressing the Channel switch on the FS-15 will toggle between the Clean Channel
and an Overdrive Channel. When the Clean Channel is selected, pressing the Voice
switch on the FS-15 will toggle between the two Clean voices. When an Overdrive
Channel is selected, pressing the Voice switch on the FS-15 will toggle between
OD 1 and OD 2.
The Voice selection for OD 1 and OD 2 can still be operated from the front panel
and the amplier will retain the chosen Voice when switching between channels.
If the supplied FS-15 footswitch is unavailable then a generic 2-way latching
footswitch with TRS jack connection can be used.
EXTERNAL SWITCHING MODE: This mode is intended for people who wish to
control the same main features of the amp using an external switching device that
connects via the TRS connection of the socket.

1514
To switch to External Switching Mode: simply press and hold the Clean Select
and Clean Voice switches for 5 seconds. The green LEDs will then ash together
to indicate the change of mode. The amplier will retain this mode, even when
switched o, until it is changed back to normal/footswitch mode.
Once in External Switching Mode the following settings will apply when a suitable
TRS connection is made:
TIP RING CHANNEL VOICE
Closed Closed Clean Voice 1
Closed Open Clean Voice 2
Open Closed Overdrive Set by front panel
Open Open Overdrive Set by front panel
NOTE: Both the 5-way (with FS-14) and 2-way (with external control) sockets can
be used at the same time. This gives the ultimate exibility of automated and instant
manual control.
14. USB Socket
This C-type USB socket is for connection to a computer via a suitable lead (not
supplied). It is capable of multiple simultaneous inputs and outputs. It is also for
connection to our Architect software for deep-editing of CabRig and other functions.
Standard audio drivers are used to connect the amplier to a PC, Mac or other
applicable recording device. No specic drivers are required. For a guide on low-
latency USB recording visit:
www.blackstaramps.com/usbrecording
NOTE: Always connect the amplier via a main USB port, often found on the rear
of the computer.
The amplier will appear as an audio capture device within recording software.
The audio output via USB from your amplier directly to your computer is carried
across four independent, simultaneous channels:
Channel 1: Stereo emulated, left channel – The fully processed guitar sound, with
speaker cabinet emulation. This will include the left channel of the internal stereo reverb.
Channel 2: Stereo emulated, right channel – The fully processed guitar sound,
with speaker cabinet emulation. This will include the right channel of the internal
stereo reverb.
Channel 3: Preamp output – The preamp sound of the channels, voices and EQ
stages, taken before the reverb and without any speaker cabinet emulation. Ideal
for use with your own eects and cabinet emulation plugins within your recording
software/DAW.
Channel 4: Unprocessed dry guitar signal – This is the direct signal from your
guitar as received by the amp.
These audio streams can be recording simultaneously within your chosen recording
software/DAW.
TIP: To record a stereo reverb eected sound, pan the stereo emulated left channel
100% left in the mix and pan the right channel 100% right.
The HT Stage MK III can also receive audio input from your computer:
Channel 1: Line input, left channel – Used for audio monitoring or backing track
playback via the Emulated Output.
Channel 2: Line input, right channel – Used for audio monitoring or backing track
playback via the Emulated Output.
15. Kensington Lock
