Revel in True Tube Distortion

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. Youre even equipped for direct recording to your DAW, courtesy of a built-in USB audio interface. Complete with two switchable channels, Blackstars acclaimed ISF tone-shaping circuit, and a 3-band EQ, the Dept. 10 Dual Distortion is one of the most versatile distortion pedals around.

High-voltage tube tone

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. Its 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 cab directly into your recording interface or mixing board you can even record direct to your computer thanks to the integrated USB audio interface.

Two distortion channels with two modes each

For even more sonic versatility, each channel on the Dept. 10 Dual Distortion pedal offers two distinct gain structures to fine-tune your tone. The first channel offers Clean and Crunch modes, while the second channel offers OD 1 (lots of gain) and OD 2 (even more gain) modes.

Infinite Shape Feature goes where EQ cant

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, youll lend an American characteristic to your voice, with a tight bottom end and aggressive middle. Turned all the way to the right, youll enjoy more of a British vibe, with a woodier sound thats less aggressive. However you dial in the Dept. 10 Dual Distortion, youll enjoy a musical response that commands attention.
