Blackstar Dept 10 Boost Pedal Overview
The Blackstar Dept. 10 Boost is the ultimate high voltage valve boost pedal. Combining a Class A gain stage and natural-sounding passive James-Baxandall EQ this class-leading pedal is like adding two extra hot valve stages to an amp.
High Voltage Valve
Running at 250V, the ECC83 triode at the heart of these Blackstar pedals delivers organic dynamics, tone and break up.
