Blackstar | Dept. 10 | BOOST | Vacuum Tube Boost Blackstar

Hit Your Amp Harder with Rich Tube Tone

Equipped with a real ECC83 preamp tube, the Blackstar Department 10 Boost pedal is the perfect way to punch up the input of any amplifier. A boost pedal is a formidable tool for getting the most out of any amplifier — it not only raises your volume for solos, but it also elicits livelier tone out of your amp’s preamp section. And with its Low and High EQ controls, the Department 10 Boost is a capable tone shaper for any guitar with any combination of pickups. Whether you’re looking to add true tube richness to a solid-state amplifier, or you want to squeeze the maximum mojo out of your tube amp, you’ll be pleased with the Blackstar Department 10 Boost pedal.

High-voltage tube tone inside

At the heart of each Department 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 punchy attack. It’s 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.
