    Hey guys im going to be picking up an ht5 and i was wondering. is there a large difference between the 1x12 combo and the stack with the 2 12's? im not looking for more volume or anything, the lower volume is what i want, im just wondering if there is a tonal difference

      AFAIK, the cabs they sell them with have 10" speakers, not 12.

      They do sell other 1x12 cabs, tho, but the ones they USUALLY sell the HT-5 with are 10".

        you are correct sort of:p they used to be 10 but theyve upgraded a bunch of things and changed to 12

          I'd go for the HT-5RS, with just one 1x12 instead of the combo. Closed back is better than open back, imo. I had the HT-5 and 1x10 a year or so back, and I have to say, I actually miss that amp. But the best advice I can give you is go play them with your main guitar and see what sounds best.

          EDIT: To actually answer you question :lol : It won't necessarily be louder, but you'll get a tone that's a little more lively and has some dimension.

            The combo is 449.99, the stack with 2 12s is 599.99 and if i get the head and one 1x12 it would be 579.99 i think id rather get the stack for 20$ more

            is there a good 1x12 cab for less than 200$ thats what the blackstar would cost
