Blackstar LT Dual and LT Boost Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Blackstar LT Dual is a compact powerhouse, offering versatile dual-mode dirt options with a price tag of $149.99. Its design maximizes pedalboard space, featuring gain and level controls for both channels, alongside shared tone and ISF controls. The ISF knob allows for a range of American to British tones, though shared controls can limit tonal contrast. Channel 1 suits rhythm tasks, while Channel 2 excels as a lead option. Despite minor drawbacks, the LT Dual delivers excellent sounds across channels, making it a valuable addition for those seeking versatile distortion.

The Blackstar LT Dual is a versatile drive pedal that impresses with its ability to deliver a wide range of tones, from smooth blues to high-gain rock. Its durable build quality is a plus, though the switching mechanism can initially be confusing.

Dual Channel Distortion Pedal

It's a cool Dual Channel Distortion/Overdrive Channel 1 goes from clean to hard rock, it's present on the mid range and it's more of an overdrive. Channel 2 Is a distortion, goes from clean to high gain metal. Only one channel can be on at a time. Both channels feature independent level controls and share a tone knob which adds or cuts highs. Also there's the ISF which lets you go from american voicing to british voicing and every place inbetween.

It's an amazing pedal, it has a high quality buffer that really helps the fact that I have an unmoded vox wah in the chain. It is NOT true bypass (duh) It also has two high luminosity LED lights one green for channel 1 and one red for channel 2. Cool pedal, it's where all my dirty tones come from.

Great review. The green color makes me think the OD side is a TS9 sort of circuit. Is there a famous distortion pedal the distortion side reminds you of? Add it to your review.

improviz35

Not for me

This pedal has two separate distortion with individual volumes and level knobs. The ISF changes the distortion from american to british and in between. My first distortion pedal and I still have it but I never use it anymore because it doesn't give me the sound I'm looking for.
