BRAND                         Blackstar

MODEL                         HT-Dual

PRODUCT                     Guitar Pedal

DESCRIPTION

The HT-DUAL guitar pedal offers the ultimate in high voltage valve distortion flexibility. Channel 1 has Clean or Crunch modes and can be used clean, as a boost or overdrive. Channel 2 gives distortion tones from super crunch right up to screaming lead. The unique switching operation will transform a single channel vintage amp into a three channel tone machine.

DUAL CHANNELS

The HT-DUAL features two switchable channels for flexability. Channel 1 has either Clean or Crunch modes so it can be used clean, as a boost or overdrive. Channel 2 gives distortion tones from super crunch right up to screaming lead. The unique switching operation will transform a single channel vintage amp into a three channel tone machine.

ISF CONTROL

The ISF control works in conjunction with the Tone control. It allows you to choose the exact tone signature you prefer. Fully CCW is a more American characteristic with a tight bottom end and more aggressive middle, and fully CW is a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive.

OPERATES AT 300V HT

The HT pedal operates on a 300V DC anode supply voltage (High Tension voltage). This is the same used in traditional valve amplifier design and means the circuit has the headroom associated with a true valve design and will 'clean up' accordingly. The pedal will exhibit the compression and distortion characteristics associated with a true valve design.

SILENT SWITCHING

Many hours of research showed us that only soft switching and a buffered bypass signal will give absolutely silent switching in high gain applications.

SPEAKER EMULATED OUTPUT

The Blackstar emulated output design is a new benchmark for pro direct recording. This no-compromise design makes it easy to get your tone to disk and tape. You can also use it to run a line out to a PA.
