Unleash the power of your tone with the Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Drive 2-channel Tube Overdrive Pedal. This exceptional gear is designed by the passionate Blackstar R&D team who are not just engineers but also musicians, dedicated to creating innovative solutions that shape your ideal sound.

With a genuine ECC83 preamp tube operating at 250 volts, this pedal is designed to deliver an impressive touch response and harmonic richness, warming up your tone with complex harmonics and hearty attack. The integrated Cab Rig simulator lets you bypass the amp completely, offering the sound of a miked-up cabinet directly to your recording interface or mixing board.

The overdrive pedal features two distinct channels, each offering two unique gain structures, providing a versatile range of tonal options. The first channel offers cleaner tones, while the second channel takes things up a notch with crunch and overdrive modes.

Also noteworthy is Blackstar's acclaimed ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) tone-shaping circuit. With the ISF, you can explore an extensive sonic range, from a tight, aggressive American tone to a woodier, less aggressive British vibe.
