From the Manufacturer
5W, Single-Ended, Class A combo amp powered by an EL84 and voiced through a 12AX7 preamp tube. The Blackheart Little Giant BH5-112 combo is a truly classic boutique amplifier design delivered in a robust, stylish package. With a switchable pentode/triode selector and 3-band EQ controls you get the only amp in its class to deliver true tonal range, from instantaneous punch to deliciously greasy overdrive, and with precise control over output volume. Every feature of the Blackheart Little Giant BH5-112 represents zealous dedication to true quality in tone, looks and ruggedness. The open back tuned design and (blue frame) Blackheart model 1216A Speaker by Eminence is the fruit of extensive research involving Crate and Eminence. The result is a very musical and responsive combo. Under its sexy exterior you'll find a 16 gauge, folded and welded steel chassis, 1/2" corner radiuses, 15 ply, void-free birch cabinetry and meticulous tolex work insuring years of reliable performance.

Customer Reviews

Amazing bang for the buck!
I have had the Blackheart BH5-112 for two weeks now and I am happy to report that it is an amazing amp at an amazing price. It is designed to get a natural tube overdrive sound at a very reasonable volume level. You can sound like you are cranking your amp at full volume and yet not disturb your neighbors. Pyotr Belov is a brilliant designer and he has done an amazing job with this new Blackheart line of amps. This amp would probably be a great deal, even at twice the price. It is all tube and substantially built. There is absolutely nothing cheap about it. But the bottom line is IT SOUNDS GREAT!!! Highly recommended!
