«  5 watt ... Damn! »

Everything has already been said.

UTILIZATION

The config is reduced to the essentials, some say it's an advantage, others an inconvenience. The number of pots being reduced, we easily obtain for a good sound without breaking your head too. That said, setting the ISF should be doing based on the EQ which takes a little getting used to.

Not very practical: the effects loop is quite difficult to access if the amp is set up. And know that God is indispensable.
I tried plugging a stompbox reverb without going through the effects loop sounds great and the sound yucky. As soon as one goes through against it, the sound is ni-kel.

SOUNDS

I play mostly metal, with little going to the extremes. This is an amp that suits my musical taste and, by the lack of slight distortion, forcing a play properly.
I was looking for a sound "deep" for computer music. The amp is just perfect for that. In addition, the HT5 is a clarity and surprising power for its size and price. I tried it with several guitars and he actually meets well the personality of each of them. On wood mahogany or maple micro active or passive, we have a very different sound!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months. I went from a 100W transistor This little 5watt just waiting to roar (and not like a snarling poodle).
I think it's the best tube amp of this power in the market, and value for money and really good. It is a mistake to play on the transistor when it is ca.

The pros:-Easy to use.
-The sound (very flexible & versatile)
-The power of 5 watts.
The output-émullé.
-The price.


The -:-No reverb.
-Unable to hear the emulated output at the same time as the HP. (One cancels the other)
-Difficulties accessing the effects loop.
