DEPT. 10
The World’s Most Advanced Valve Pedals

Introducing Dept. 10

Experience the ultimate in valve pedals with Dept 10 from Blackstar's cutting-edge R&D team. Meticulously crafted and engineered by musicians, these pedals come in Boost, Dual Drive, and Dual Distortion options to fine-tune your ideal tone.

Real Valve Tone
At the heart of each Dept. 10 pedal is an ECC83 triode valve, running at more than 200V internally like a valve amp, which allows them to deliver organic tone, dynamics and break up.

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

9V Power Supply Included
The DEPT10DLDRIVE from Blackstar features a clever design that allows it to run at 200V internally, just like a valve amp. However, unlike other pedals, it can be powered with a standard 9V adaptor (included). This innovative approach allows the ECC83 to deliver authentic valve tone and response, making it an ideal choice for any pedalboard.

Built-in Buffer / Line Driver
The Blackstar Dept 10 Dual Drive Tube Dual Drive Effects Pedal - DEPT10DLDRIVE boasts a built-in buffer/line driver to maintain your tone, ideal for lengthy cable use, large pedalboards, and even low impedance pedals such as 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 miked up amp.

Cutting-edge Connectivity
Dual Drive and Dual Distortion include CabRig, our next-generation DSP speaker simulator that reproduces the sound and feel of a mic’d up guitar cab in incredible detail. Deep-dive using our free software and capture the incredible tones via low latency USB, XLR D.I. out or headphones.

The Duals are perfect for use as a valve interface for recording, or to seamlessly add valve tone and drive to your
