Introduction
Congratulations!.You.have.just.purchased.what.we.believe.to.be.one.of.the.most.significant.
objects.that.you'll.acquire.in.your.lifetime—a.tube.amp..If.that's.not.enough,.you've.gone.and.
gotten.yourself.a.Blackheart.Engineering.tube.amp..So.let's.take.a.big.picture.view.of.this.for.
a.second:.You're.a.guitar.player.who.could.have.bought.anything.to.bring.your.mind-bending.
chops.to.life,.to.unleash.upon.the.masses.the.wrath.of.your.otherworldly,.mad.riffin'.skills..Did.
you.settle?.No,.because.you're.more.than.just."whatever.".You're.like,."hear.me.roar!".so.you.
go.tube..Not."hybrid,".not."solid.state,".but.all.tube—from.when.you.scream."jump!".until.your.
speaker.wails."how.high.sir?"
We.like.the.way.you.do.your.hair..You've.got.style..Speaking.of.which,.take.a.look.at.the.way.
this.amp.is.built..16.gauge.steel,.½".radius.corners.in.a.void-free.birch.ply.cabinet.that.looks.
like.Michelangelo.covered.it.for.you.personally..How.about.a.double-sided.PCB.with.2.oz..cop-
per.traces,.so.your.big.fat.sound.has.lots.to.hold.on.to.traveling.through.a.classic.boutique.
circuit.path.designed.by.none.other.than.Pyotr.Belov.himself..The.guy's.got.a.soldering.iron.in.
his.hands.most.hours.of.the.night.so.if.he.says."make.the.thing.like.a.tank,".everyone.agrees.
real.quickly..Who.knows,.you.might.be.in.some.sort.of.edge.band;.knock.the.thing.around.a.
bit..That's.a.Blackheart.thing..We.make.rock-solid,.no.compromise.music.gear.that.sounds.
like.choruses.of.angels.who.sing.in.big,.beefy.power.chords..We.work.with.glass,.metal.and.
wood.just.like.the.powers.that.be.intended.when.they.created.rock.and.roll..We.take.every.
amp.personally.and.we.do.it.assuming.you.worked.hard.to.get.it.and.we're.not.letting.you.
down..That.fancy.tattoo.logo.was.inspired.by.one.of.our.test.animals.*.He.said.a.great.amp.
leaves.a.permanent.mark.on.your.tone,.and.shapes.how.you.play,.write,.perform,.etc..So,.
when.you.laid.down.coin.for.a.Blackheart,.you.kind.of.got.hitched.
And.it.didn't.set.you.back.much,.especially.when.you.consider.what.you.got..Every.Blackheart.
design.starts.as.a.hand-built.masterpiece.with.no.thoughts.about.cutting.cost.or.going.for.
it.on.the.cheap..Pyotr.picks.every.component.one.by.one.and.tweaks.until.his.ears.hear.the.
tone..Once.he's.given.birth.to.the.prototype.(ouch!),.he.personally.works.with.offshore.manu-
facturing.to.translate.that.exact.tone.into.the.most.affordable.piece.of.gear.that.won't.let.you.
down..Literally,.he.works.in.the.factory,.training.other.people.how.to.build.boutique-quality.
amps.and.sits.on.the.QC.line.before.anything.gets.into.a.box..Blackheart.isn't.the.cheapest—
plenty.of.other.amps.are.cheap.and.you.can.have.your.pick..We.prefer.to.be.ultra-high.quality.
and.performance.for.a.price.that.anyone.can.afford..
So.thanks.for.laying.down.your.hard-earned.cash.for.a.Blackheart.Engineering.product..We're.
not.going.to.disappoint.you..You've.got,.in.your.hands,.one.of.the.best.sounding,.best.quality,.
old.school.inspired.amps.that's.ever.been.made..
Vous.avez.notre.coeur,
Pyotr.Belov.
Blackheart Engineering
*.We.don't.test.on.little.furry.helpless.animals.of.course..We.call.our.artists.animals.because,.well,.we've.
eaten.with.them..They.give.their.time.and.opinions.to.us.on.a.regular.basis.and.have.a.lot.to.do.with.how.
good.your.Blackheart.is.
