Key Features & Benefits

True Valve Tone with Practical Flexibility
The HT‑20R MKIII’s all‑tube design brings the dynamic response, harmonic richness, and natural breakup that tube lovers love — while its modest wattage and power‑reduction feature make it practical for home studios or small venues.

Wide Tonal Palette — From Clean to High‑Gain
With two independent channels and four voiced settings, you get everything from sparkling cleans to gritty overdrive. Whether you’re playing blues, rock, indie, or classic covers, you have tonal flexibility on tap.

Deep Control Over Your Sound
Thanks to the ISF control, you can steer the amp’s personality from crisp, clean American‑style tones to warm, saturated British‑style voicings — giving you greater control when dialing in for different guitars, effects, or genres.

Recording‑ and Live‑Ready Connectivity
With USB‑C output, balanced XLR, and speaker-emulated outputs, you can plug directly into a DAW, PA, or headphones, without needing extra gear. The CabRig technology gives realistic cabinet/mic/room emulation — handy for silent practice, home recording, or playing live through a mixer.

Suitable for Many Contexts — Home, Studio, Stage
Because of its compact 1×12″ build, adjustable wattage, and flexible outputs, the amp works equally well for quiet home practice, studio recording sessions, rehearsals, or small‑venue gigs.
