Crate Blackheart BH15H Handsome Devil Guitar Amp Head, 15W All Tube with Attitude Overview

Blackheart Engineering? instruments are all tube, old-school amplifiers that are built like tanks and sound as good as amps costing multiple times the price. They look cool, they exude attitude and they don't EVER compromise tone

Crate Blackheart BH15H Handsome Devil Guitar Amp Head, 15W All Tube with Attitude Specifications

Designed and prototyped in a one car garage in Austin, Texas, by none other than amp savant, Pyotr Belov, the Handsome Devil evokes classic tube tones more than reminiscent of the great American and British, plug and play workhorses that laid the foundation for Rock and Roll guitar tone starting in the '60s. Just like its predecessor and little brother, the Little Giant 5, the BHE Handsome Devil is overbuilt to last with features and components you'd expect on a hand built, much more expensive piece of gear. Both the head and combo feature dual power modes allowing the Gods of Rock to dial in responsiveness and headroom in either 15W or 7W output. Separate Master and Level controls put both awesome power and responsibility in the unwashed hands of mankind. 3 Bands of well-tuned EQ make for nearly infinite voicing. From big fat overdrive to plucky, just-about-to-squeal if you hit me a little harder grease, the Handsome Devil covers classic tube tone with as few knob turns as possible through a well thought out set of features in a tough as a tank package.

As expected, you get the simple elegance and robust component specs that mark BHE's designs. From 1W, carbon-film resistors in the signal path to beefy, double sided pcb with 2 oz traces, 16 gauge, precision folded and welded chassis and mutli-ply, classically joined cabinetry, Blackheart is as serious about quality as they are about tone.

Available in a surprisingly compact head or single (but looking) 12" combo (BH15-112) featuring the specially designed 1216B Eminence speaker developed by Blackheart Engineering and Eminence Speakers.

Crate Blackheart BH1H Killer Ant Guitar Amp head, <1W All Tube with Attitude

Crate Blackheart BH1H Killer Ant Guitar Amp head, <1W All Tube with Attitude Review

The Blackheart Killer Ant Guitar Amp head is BH1H a tube amp with a nice big tube sound. I matched with Blackheart BH 110 Killer Cab Guitar Amp Cab, 1 x 10 and when I plug in my Les Paul ...... Whoa! Tone and presence than ever, and there is no need to call the neighbors called the police involved because none of this in a reasonable volume to the house or the atmosphere.

Only down side is that this man has very little in terms of controls --on/offand the volume is. You will probably need an EQ or other effects that you want to add a pedal. But it does sound good as well!

• <1 Watt RMS, Single-Ended, Class A
• Outputs: 1 x 16 ohm jack, 1 x 8 ohm jack, 1 x 4 ohm jack

Crate Blackheart BH1H Killer Ant Guitar Amp head, <1W All Tube with Attitude Specifications

The followup to Blackheart Engineering's Little Giant 5, the Killer Ant is the first attainable, boutique quality fractional tube amp. Featuring Class A, Single Ended circuitry, it delivers the complete, classic, touch responsive tube tone you need but at more manageable volumes for apartment dwellers and recording sessions.

Designed on a beer stained cocktail napkin, prototyped, built and tested in a one car garage in Austin, TX, and engineered to the same strict standards as the Little Giant 5, this "little head" delivers the tones, the smells and the attitude you want when sonic bliss is everything and volume needs to be kept at bay. The Killer Ant embraces 100% classic all tube circuitry but, instead of a high power tube output section, it boasts a clever, all tube power block pumping out a mere fraction of 1W. What you get is arena rock tone at bedroom levels. No more angry neighbors, whining wives or girlfriends (or both...just sayin').

Like its big bro, it features completely overbuilt component specs, from 1W resistors in the signal path to double sided PCB with 2 oz traces. Even its diminutive cabinet, just over palm sized, is built to take a beating with 15 ply (18mm) void-free wood covered expertly in durable black tolex. Final touches include distinctive white piping accents and a salt & pepper cloth covered front baffle. 4, 8 and 16-ohm extension speaker jacks allow you to hook the Ant into virtually any cab you like, including a 4 X 12. However, its counterpart, the Killer Cab, is designed to be its perfect soul mate.
