After having an HT-1 combo since it first came out, I'm now getting the HT-1RH. These are probably the finest bedroom amps around.

The Blackbird speaker which came in mine is actually an 8 ohm speaker. It it not a bad sounding speaker at all. I did replace it with an 8 ohm Jensen C8R. It sounds even better now. I still have the Blackbird as a backup. The HT-1 is one of the greatest small practice amps ever made. I rate it up th...

Can I run the power supply with the batteries still inside the amp? Until I here different I'm pulling them out so I don't hurt this amp.

I got one coming by UPS today. The only thing I find strange about the amp is the 6 AA batteries. Why not just built it to take a nine volt?

That same day I hunted one down from Sam Ash. They had one on display that I played and, I took home one left in the box. The GC by m...

Those Klones I feel sound better than the original KC! That one is on the wish list.

Thanks Phantum!

Out of the box my HT-1 has always sounded great. It loves nice OD pedals as well. I've had it over two years now so I finally decided to change speaker and tubes in it. I put a Mullard 12AX7 in the preamp spot, replacing the Sovtek which was in there. For the power tube I put a NOS GE 12AU7/ECC82, r...
