Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Distortion 2-channel Tube Distortion Pedal

<div class="webtext-block webtext-block--mixed-content"> <div> <h2>Revel in True Tube Distortion</h2> <p>Equipped with a real ECC83 preamp tube, the Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Distortion pedal is ready to breathe rich harmonic fire into whatever amplifier you choose. And thanks to its built-in Cab Rig simulator, you can skip the amp and inject the sound of a miked-up speaker cabinet direct to your recording interface or mixing board. You're even equipped for direct recording to your DAW, courtesy of a built-in USB audio interface. Complete with two switchable channels, Blackstar's acclaimed ISF tone-shaping circuit, and a 3-band EQ, the Dept. 10 Dual Distortion is one of the most versatile distortion pedals around.<br /><br /></p> <div class="webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-right webtext-block--mixed-content"> <div class="webtext__column webtext--text"> <h3>High-voltage tube tone</h3> <p>At the heart of each Dept. 10 series pedal is a genuine ECC83 preamp tube operating at 250 volts. This gives you the full dynamic and harmonic range of the tube, imbuing your tone with complex harmonics and hearty attack. It's a great way to punch up the front end of any amplifier, especially when you need a loud, clean tube amp to break up before you reach ear-splitting volume levels. And thanks to its built-in Cab Rig simulator, you can bypass the amp altogether and inject the sound of a miked cap directly into your recording interface or mixing board &mdash; you can even record direct to your computer thanks to the integrated USB audio interface. Guitarists at Sweetwater especially appreciate the built-in effects loop, completing the amp-in-a-pedal experience.</p> </div> <div class="webtext__column webtext--media"></div> </div> <div class="webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-left webtext-block--mixed-content"> <div class="webtext__column webtext--media"></div> <div class="webtext__column webtext--text"> <h3>Two distortion channels with two modes each</h3> <p>For even more sonic versatility, each channel on the Dept. 10 Dual Distortion pedal offers two distinct gain structures to fine-tune your tone. Channel 1 offers Clean and Crunch modes, while channel 2 offers OD 1 (lots of gain) and OD 2 (even more gain) modes. Between two channels and a total of four different gain structures to explore, you're sure to find plenty of sweet sounds in the Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Distortion pedal.</p> </div> </div> <div class="webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-right webtext-block--mixed-content"> <div class="webtext__column webtext--text"> <h3>Infinite Shape Feature goes where EQ can't</h3> <p>The Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Distortion offers a huge sonic range to explore, by virtue of its Infinite Shape Feature (ISF). When turned fully counterclockwise, you'll lend an American characteristic to your voice, with a tight bottom end and aggressive middle. Turned all the way to the right, you'll enjoy more of a British vibe, with a woodier sound that's less aggressive. However you dial in the Dept. 10 Dual Distortion, you'll enjoy a musical response that commands attention.</p> </div> <div class="webtext__column webtext--media"></div> </div> <div class="webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-left webtext-block--mixed-content"> <div class="webtext__column webtext--media"></div> <div class="webtext__column webtext--text"> <h2>Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Distortion Pedal Features:</h2> <ul class="webtext-block--colcount"> <li>2-channel distortion pedal with 2 gain modes per channel</li> <li>Real ECC83 preamp tube running at 250 volts delivers impressive touch response and harmonic richness</li> <li>2 gain modes per channel: Clean/Crunch and OD 1/OD 2</li> <li>3-band EQ gives you amp-like control over your core guitar tone</li> <li>ISF control offers enhanced tone shaping you can't achieve with EQ</li> <li>Built-in effects loop for integrating your other effects pedals</li> <li>Cab Rig XLR output allows you to send the sound of a miked-up cabinet direct to a recording interface or mixing board</li> <li>Built-in USB audio interface for recording to your computer without additional hardware</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div>
