MODEL Dept. 10 Boost
PRODUCT Guitar Pedal
DESCRIPTION
The Blackstar Dept. 10 Boost is the ultimate high-voltage valve boost pedal, designed to push your tone to the next level with the warmth and dynamics only real tube circuitry can provide. Featuring an authentic ECC83 (12AX7) valve running at true high voltage, this pedal delivers genuine tube gain that behaves like an additional set of hot preamp stages in your amp—perfect for solos, edge-of-breakup tones, or pushing an already cooking amp into saturation.
Equipped with a classic James-Baxandall passive EQ, the Dept. 10 Boost allows you to sculpt your tone with smooth, musical control over bass and treble frequencies. A built-in buffer/line driver ensures signal integrity across your pedalboard, even with long cable runs. Despite its compact footprint, this pedal is a powerhouse of tonal enhancement, powered conveniently via a 9V power supply (included).
Built in Blackstar’s UK Custom Shop, the Dept. 10 Boost is crafted for tone purists, gigging musicians, and studio professionals who demand authentic tube response in a stompbox format.
