Blackheart Engineering

Like Journey's new lead singer Arnel Pineda, the differences between the Sennheiser e609 Silver and the Shure SM57 seem to be only skin-deep. That's right, if you close your eyes, both mics sound EXACTLY like Steve Perry.  

Can I get a watt, watt? With the Blackheart Engineering BH5-112, you can get a watt, watt, watt or a watt, watt, watt, watt, watt. It switches between triode and pentode operation for a little extra sauce.  

Blackheart's Little Giant, Handsome Devil and Killer Ant amps have already been released to the public with low price tags and high satisfaction. Another tube driven monster looms on the horizon -- this one towering over its relatives -- the highly anticipated BH100H Hothead.  

Blackheart Engineering's Pyotr Belov is dedicated to the working class musician, and he can work it pretty well himself. Check out his demo and convincing pitch in this video from Winter NAMM 2008.  

Blackheart Engineering's Hothead Stack delivers sweet sound that the working stiff can afford. That's just what the developers had in mind when they designed it on a cocktail napkin in Germany, and now this 2-man driven company can give you boutique quality for a mass-produced price.  

James Brown said it best. "I look good. I feel good." The Handsome Devil does both far more honestly. Boasting a muscular 15 Watts of all-tube power, the Handsome Devil is a hit with all the fine lady amps out there.  

Just like ants can carry fifty times their own weight, the Blackheart Killer Ant carries some mean tube tone while only putting out a fraction of a watt. In retrospect, that analogy doesn't make too much sense, but the Killer Ant still sounds pretty good.
