Blackstar DEPT10-BOOST Dept.10 Boost valve pedal

The Blackstar DEPT10-BOOST Dept.10 Boost valve pedal elevates your sound with its high-voltage valve performance. This exceptional pedal not only combines cutting-edge technology but also incorporates practical features to deliver superior tone. As a result, it integrates seamlessly into any setup, making it a must-have for guitarists.

At the heart of the Dept.10 Boost is a powerful high-voltage valve circuit powered by the ECC83. This design mimics the characteristics of a traditional valve amp, providing a rich and dynamic tone that reacts naturally to your playing. Additionally, the Class A gain stage, combined with a passive James-Baxandall EQ, offers a wide range of tonal possibilities. Consequently, you can shape your sound with precision and confidence, whether you seek warmth or bite.

Versatility is, indeed, a hallmark of the Dept.10 Boost. For instance, it features a built-in series effects loop, allowing for easy integration into your pedalboard setup. This flexibility ensures you can add this pedal to your existing rig without hassle. Furthermore, in the event of venue backline failure, you can utilize the pedal’s XLR DI output to connect directly to the mixing desk. With pre-saved CabRig speaker simulations, you can achieve studio-quality sound without needing a miked-up amp.

To preserve your tone over long cable runs and large pedalboards, the Blackstar DEPT10-BOOST Dept.10 Boost valve pedal includes a built-in buffer and line driver. This feature effectively keeps your signal strong and clear, even when driving low-impedance pedals like wah-wahs. Finally, the compact size of the Dept.10 Boost makes it easy to fit on your pedalboard, and it runs on a standard 9V power supply, which is included.
