10. Treble (OD Channel)

The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the 

sound. At low settings (CCW) the sound will be warm and darker in character. As the 
Treble control is increased (CW) the sound will become brighter. At the maximum 

settings the sound will be aggressive and cutting. 

11. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) 

The ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass, Middle and Treble controls. It 

allows you to choose the exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully CCW has a more 
American characteristic with a tight bottom end and more aggressive middle, and 

fully CW has a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive. 

12. Reverb (HT-5R, HT-5RH and HT-5210 only)

The reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb effect. With the control fully 
counter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increase 
the amount of reverb. The HT-5R, HT-5RH and HT-5210 feature digital reverb found 

on the HT Venue Series and HT-1R, adding a rich depth to any playing style. 

13. Power Indicator Light

The power indicator will light when the amplifier is switched on.

14. Standby

This switch enables the operation of the power amp stage and speaker output. 

Always  turn  this  on  at  least  30  seconds  after  the  Power  switch  (15).  For  silent 

recording or practise this switch should be put in the standby position. This will 
disable the power stage, but the emulated output will continue to work.

15. Power

This switch is used to turn the amplifier on and off. You should always turn this 
switch on before turning on the Standby switch (14).

Rear Panel

1. Mains Input

The supplied detachable mains lead is connected here. The lead should only 
be connected to a power outlet that is compatible with the voltage, power and 
frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. If in doubt get advice from a 

qualified technician.

2. Speaker Outputs
For the HT-5210

 the output marked ‘1x16 Ohm’ is for the connection of a single 16 

Ohm external speaker cabinet. The outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ are for

Front Panel

1. Input 

Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.  

2. Clean Volume

This controls the volume of the Clean Channel. Turning it clockwise increases  
the volume. 

3. Clean Tone

The Tone control allows adjustment of the balance between treble and bass 

frequencies within the sound. At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be 

warmer and darker in character. As the Tone control is rotated clockwise the sound 
will become brighter.

4. Overdrive Select

Press this switch to select the Overdrive Channel. 

5. Overdrive Indicator

When the red LED is on the Overdrive Channel is selected. When the LED is off the 

Clean Channel is in operation.

6. Overdrive Gain

The  Gain  control  adjusts  the  amount  of  the  Overdrive  Channel’s  overdrive  or 
distortion. Low settings, counter clockwise (CCW), will deliver a clean sound on 
the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the sound 

will become more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum 
position, a full distorted lead tone is arrived at.

7. Overdrive Volume

This controls the volume of the Overdrive Channel. Turning it clockwise increases 
the volume. 

8. Bass (OD Channel)

The Bass control adjusts the amount of low end frequencies in your tone. This amp 

has an advanced tone shaping circuit which allows the tone to be tight and cutting, 

(CCW), to warm and thumping (CW). 

9. Middle (OD Channel)

The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The 

middle frequencies are particularly important in setting the amount of ‘body’ your 
tone has. With the Middle control set to its minimum position (fully CCW) the sound 

will be aggressive and scooped, a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing. As the 

Middle control is increased (CW) the amount of ‘body’ is increased, which is more 

suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.
