Introduction
At Blackstar we are proud to introduce this limited edition artist
signature pedal, developed with influential guitarist Gus G. (Ozzy
Osbourne, Firewind).
Gus G. began his relationship with Blackstar when he used the
Series One 200 amplifier to record the latest Ozzy album ‘Scream’.
Since then Gus has become a full Blackstar endorsee and can be
seen on stages throughout the world with his momentous guitar rig
consisting of, 12 x Series One 200 heads and 12 x Series One 4x12
straight fronted cabinets!
Gus also used the award winning HT-DUAL pedal and approached
our R&D team with the aim of producing the ultimate heavy metal
valve distortion pedal. After many months of listening tests with the
young guitar hero, the HT-BLACKFIRE was born.
As with all Blackstar products it has been subjected to extensive
laboratory and road testing to ensure it is truly uncompromising in
terms of reliability, quality and above all TONE.

and Gus G. please visit our website at www.blackstaramps.com.

Features
The HT-BLACKFIRE is a dual channel high voltage valve distortion
pedal. The channels are named after the fan-favourite Firewind track
‘The Fire And The Fury’. The Fire channel delivers a high gain classic
distortion, while the Fury channel takes you to screaming lead and
beyond. The no compromise speaker emulated output lets you
easily get it all down to tape or disk.
The unique switching operation will transform a single channel
vintage amp into a three channel metal tone machine. Use the
patent-applied-for ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control to take your
tone from the USA to the UK and anywhere in between. This infinite
adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control network
means, you can effectively design your own tone and finally find ‘the
sound in your head’.
