Crate BH15112 Blackheart Guitar Amp
Designed and prototyped in a one car garage in Austin, Texas, by non 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 youd expect on a hand built, much more expensive piece of gear. Both the head BH15H and combo feature dual power modes allowing the Gods of Rock to dial in responsiveness and headroom in either 15W or 7W output. The 12 speaker is a specially designed 1216B Eminence developed by Blackheart Engineering and Eminence Speakers. Separate Master and Level controls put both awesome power and responsibility in the 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 BHEs 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.
