OVERVIEW

DEPT. 10
The World’s Most Advanced Valve Pedals

Introducing Dept. 10

Introducing Dept. 10, the latest innovation from Blackstar's R&D division. As the most advanced valve pedals in the industry, they have been meticulously crafted by a team of expert musicians. Opt for Boost, Dual Drive, or Dual Distortion to achieve your desired tone with precision and expertise.

Real Valve Tone
At the core of every Dept. 10 pedal lies an ECC83 triode valve, operating at over 200V internally like a valve amplifier. This enables them to produce natural tones, dynamic range, and distortion.

Cutting-edge Connectivity
CabRig, our cutting-edge DSP speaker simulator, is featured in both the Dual Drive and Dual Distortion pedals. This innovative technology accurately replicates the sound and tactile experience of recording a guitar cabinet with a microphone. Utilize our complimentary software to fully explore its capabilities and record the rich tones with low latency via USB, XLR D.I. output, or headphones.

The Blackstar Dept 10 Boost Tube Boost Effects Pedal is ideal for recording or adding valve tone and drive to your pedalboard. With built-in FX Loop and dual valve interface, it provides seamless integration and professional sound.

Experience unparalleled tone and drive with Blackstar's Dept 10 Boost.

Effects Loop Integration
Built-in series effects loop for maximum flexibility and easy integration into your pedalboard.

9V Power Supply Included
All Dept. 10 pedals run at more than 200V internally just like a valve amp, however thanks to clever design can be powered with a standard 9V adaptor (included). This allows the ECC83 to deliver true valve tone  and response while remaining pedalboard friendly.

Built-in Buffer / Line Driver
All Dept. 10 pedals feature a built-in buffer / line driver. Perfect for preserving your tone when using long cables, or large pedalboards, even driving low impedance pedals like many wah wah’s.

Your Backup Amp
Venue backline down? No problem. Simply run the pedal’s XLR DI straight to the desk and connect your other effects via the built-in buffered effects loop. Use your pre-saved CabRig speaker simulations and deliver tone rivalling any mic'd up amp.
