Blackheart BH15-112 Handsome Devil Series 15W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp, Black Review

The 15W Blackheart Handsome Devil is a combo guitar tube amp designed and prototyped in a one car garage in Austin, Texas, by amp savant, Pyotr Belov. The Handsome Devil combo amp evokes classic tube tones reminiscent of the great American and British amplifiers. Those were the plug and play workhorses that laid the foundation for Rock n Roll guitar tone starting in the 60s. The he BHE Handsome Devil is overbuilt to last with features and components you'd expect on a hand built, much more expensive piece of gear. Features 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.Loaded with a 12" Blackheart Model 1216A Speaker by Eminence with American Voicing, optimized for the open back cabinet.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.
