Our ol' pal Tommy Watterson just wasn't happy being a radio star, he had to try and make it in Hollywood. So he fired up his video camera and filmed himself demoing our latest Blackheart amp, the less-than-1- watt BH1H "Killer Ant" head. The result? Not exactly an epic, being that it's about a tiny single-ended, Class A amp with one tube and a solid state rectifier in it, along with 4, 8 and 16 ohm jacks so you can power any cabinet in the land. But listen to (and watch) this short biopic and you'll see why Tom continues to ignore other amps and only uses Blackheart. Well, let's hope video doesn't kill this radio star, since we know there are more Blackheart products in the hopper.
Czech band Expedice Apalucha recently did a live internet broadcast in Prague and guitarist Petr Stepan brought his BH5-112 for the gig. Note, he's playing with a full band here. Sure, the BH5-112 (and BH5 head) is only 5 watts, but they're 5 watts that count. Petr and his Little Giant (pun intended) fared well, though the band's lead singer is covered here by a picture of our groovy little combo. Sorry buddy.

I'm startin' to think Tom oughta just work for us full time. I'm not sure what he does for his day job, but apparently his nightshift is filled with putting Blackhearts to the test. This time he took a BH15 and put together "She Will Return," and maybe she will, but maybe he needs to spend less time with his Blackheart and more time with hers... Sorry, I don't mean to go all Dr. Phil on ya! [Stick to the story, bro.] Keep yr shirt on.Click here and find out why she left...
