Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Distortion Pedal Review

At the heart of the Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Distortion Pedal is a genuine ECC83 (12AX7) tube running at high voltage for authentic valve tone and response. It offers two fully independent channels with multiple voicing options that cover everything from clean tones to heavy distortion. With the built-in CabRig speaker simulator, you can record directly or run straight to a soundboard without losing your amp’s feel. Add in the USB and XLR outputs, an FX loop for flexible routing, and Blackstar’s patented ISF control for shaping your tone, and you’ve got one of the most versatile distortion pedals ever made.
