Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Drive Pedal Review
The Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Drive Pedal features an ECC83 (12AX7) tube running at over 200 volts, giving you that classic valve tone and natural dynamic response. With two independent channels and multiple voice options, you can easily switch from crystal-clear cleans to saturated distortion. It also includes Blackstar’s patented ISF tone control, allowing you to shape your EQ from British-style crunch to American-style bite. The pedal’s Cab Rig simulator lets you record directly through USB or XLR, capturing the sound of a miked guitar cabinet with impressive detail. Add the built-in FX loop, and this pedal becomes a flexible tool for both studio and live setups.
