Second Guitar Combo - Blackstar HT Soloist 60?

gollumsluvslave · 30th January 2012

I currently have a Vox AC30-CC1, and I'm thinking about getting another combo to act as an option both for recording and gigs.

I've been looking at the Blackstar HT Soloist 60, as it seems to tick a lot of boxes for me:-

Infinite Shape feature, heard good things about it, allows many different voicings on distortion channels.

Could be handly for gigs where I can just use the amp and a delay pedal without having my pedal board (2-3 distortion pedals, clean boost and noise suppressor)

It's right in my price range too!

Anyone got any opinions or alternatives? I've heard the clean channel is weak, but my Vox covers clean for recording (don't do much clean at gigs).

We are kinda alt-rock - think Foo's, QOTSA and Deftones type tones.

Blackstar make really good gigging amps.

One caveat - it's made in China. I have issues
with buying gear from them now.
