Take a look at www.absolute-guitars.co.uk and send them email asking about the cable length they have in stock at the store.
You'll get a swift reply from Chris(the owner). He'll just pop a box open and check for you.

No probs asking where I bought mine from but I don't think the info will help you much - I bought it here in Australia! ;)

Yeah, the original short cable was a bit of an oversight on what is otherwise an incredibly well-speced and versatile amp.

The fact that Blackstar have clearly taken remedial action shows they are listening to their customers and want to deliver complete satisfaction.

I can't wait to get my HT-5!

Well, I decided to take Icarus' advice and yesterday gave Chris at www.absolute-guitars.co.uk a call.

Got home today and my HT-5 head, complete with long cable, was waiting for me in the hallway.

That's what I call service. :D

And Chris couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.

Awsome bro, glad you are happy!
Chris is indeed an all round top bloke, he(or his shop i should say) endorse my band and he's always super helpful whenever needed.

I've also dealt with the guys at Absolute Music and agree wholeheartedly - decent and helpful. Their prices are excellent too.

I bought an amp stand from them last year and when it arrived it had been damaged in transit. Made one phone call and a replacement arrived the next morning. Couldn't have been nicer about it or a quicker service.

Did you install a stereo jack, because I thought this switch requires a stereo jack and stereo cable?
