[Features & Recommended Points]

●Equipped with an ECC83 (12AX7 equivalent) triode vacuum tube at its core. Despite being a pedal, it operates at a high voltage of over 200V, delivering an organic amp-like tone, rich dynamics, and natural breakup characteristics.

●Features a two-channel configuration, each with two distinct voices (gain modes), offering exceptional versatility. It can cover a wide tonal range—from clean to crunch to overdrive—allowing diverse sound creation with a single unit.

●Incorporates patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) tone control, enabling you to freely shape your tone character between American and British styles for true amp-style sound sculpting.

●Designed for both recording and live/home studio environments, equipped with: USB recording output, XLR D.I. output, stereo headphone output, effects loop, and Cab Rig™ speaker simulator. Perfect for use even when you can’t play through a traditional amp.

●Compact yet high-performance design. Runs the tube circuit on a 9V power supply (standard adapter included), making it easy to integrate into pedalboards.

●Breaks the conventional “pedal = limited sound” notion in both sound pressure and tonal quality. Particularly praised in reviews for its thick mid-to-low range, rich body, and amp-like responsiveness.

[Summary]

For players who want more than just “distortion” from a guitar pedal, the Blackstar DEPT.10 Dual Distortion delivers the living sound, physical response, and subtle nuances that only real tubes can produce—all in a single pedal. With its 2 channels × 2 voices, ISF tone control, multiple output options, and Cab Rig simulator, it’s designed to meet the needs of modern guitarists—from recording to live performance to pedalboard integration.

If you’ve ever wished to shape amp tones more freely, achieve studio-quality distortion at home, or cover both band and solo tones with one pedal, this is the true distortion pedal that makes it possible. Highly recommended for guitarists seeking to explore new sonic frontiers.
