I would tend to agree with the OP on the poor choice of connector type on the footswitch, D-SUB? Whats that all about?
Mine hasnt failed or anything, but I have to remind myself to baby it and not stand on it or anything.
I guess it stands out because I cant fault my HT-60 in any other way!!!

Re: New Stage 60 soon, :)
Hey good choice, I have had mine about a month and a bit now and I gotta tell you I wasnt sold on it initially. But like others have said take the time to learn the controls properly, change out the preamp valves (me personally a Tung-sol 12ax7 in v1 and a JJ ECC83S in v2, but there are many combina...

Re: ...And yet another caster thread
Thanks for the tip Blackstar, but I have already attempted purchasing through my local USA distribution, which is Korg USA. I called Korg and was referred to a third-party party parts supplier here in the states. When I spoke to this company I was told that they did not have these in stock and it w...

Re: Speaker and tube combinations for HT40
i can only remember a handful of HT players using the stock valves on here....i think damn near all of us have changed to something :P What preamp tubes are you using? And changing the power tubes will it give further improvement? I've read around that theses amps are cathode biased, so its a plug ...

Re: Speaker and tube combinations for HT40
Tonight I changed out the Sovtek 12ax7wa's that came stock in v1 & v2 in my ht60 for a tungsol 12ax7 and a jj ecc83s respectively. I left v3 as it was. To my ears the stock tubes, whilst ok were just lacking something in the 2 OD channels, a little muddy? Lacking personality in the midrange perhaps?...

Re: Blackstar HT Stage 60 amp volume drop
Mine dropped on all 3 channels, but its not done it since. I changed the preamp tubes tonight and put the amp through its paces, no problems so far.

Re: Blackstar HT Stage 60 amp volume drop
Hey this happened to me a couple of times too - I thought I was going mad, the tone on the crunch channel went all flubby and I was able to put the master volume on full and the channel volume on half and still hear myself talk over it. Normally I wouldnt get the master past 2 or the windows break, ...

Re: Hello .....and new Amp Day ....Blackstar Stage 60
Hey, good choice of amp. I've had mine for just over a week now, no gigs yet but have rehearsal on wed. so that will be the early test. Haven't had the back off yet but regardless I think I will replace V1 & V2 with a tung-sol and a JJ ecc83 just as a matter of preference. Another thing I have found...
