Crate Blackheart BH100H Hot Head Guitar Amp Head, 100W All Tube with Attitude Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After reading the review concerning this amp being made in China and being crappy because of that i decided to give this amphead a test run. Already the owner of a Blackheart "Handsome Devil" 15watt Head i was fairly certain i would not be let down as that amphead kicks @$$!!!!!
The amp is everything the company states...I'd take this over my Marshall JCM900 any day of the week. Versatile with great crunch and cleans it covers all the bases. This amp has everything you will ever need. I could go on and on but read the manufacturer's stats and rest assured you are getting all that and more!
As far as the previous reviewer stating "If you are in the U.S.A buy Peavey!!" Well in response...while i agree we need to purchase and support U.S.A built/produced products...sadly Peavey does not make any amp that comes close to the Hothead in it's price range. I've owned the original 5150 as well as a Valveking "both ends of the spectrum" and i only slightly preferred the 5150 although it costs twice as much keep in mind! Most of Peavey's other amps are pure crap. If they want to compete they need to come out with something decent!!! The Vypyr's and Valvekings/Windsors are smoked by the Blackheart line!
Maybe Peavey will take the Blackheart line as a kick in the ass to start producing a competitive amp. Until then i'll enjoy my Blackheart amps!
BTW The Blackheart line is distributed by Crate and undergoes a very specialized line process in it's China plant. Anyone who has played a Gretsch "Electromatic" knows what i'm talking about. The standards are very high. This amp is built like a tank!! I've been playing live actively with my BH Handsome Devil for over 2 years now "with it cranked!!" and not had a single issue yet! with the normal exception of some tube replacement. Go test drive any Blackheart, and tell me you did'nt crack a smile having fun with it!

Blackheart Engineering? instruments are all tube, old-school amplifiers that are built like tanks and sound as good as amps costing multiple times the price. They look cool, they exude attitude and they don't EVER compromise tone
