Blackstar Series One 10AE 10-Watt 1X12-Inch Tube Combo Amplifier Overview :
10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION VALVE COMBOS
In celebration of 10 years of glorious Blackstar tone, three new 10W single-ended valve amplifiers have been developed drawing on the sound and innovation of iconic Blackstar lines - Artisan, Artist and Series One.
Each product is honed for home and studio use and has a wealth of features and a super cool retro look.
This Series One 10 Anniversary Edition is a flexible, modern-voiced amplifier, which uses an ECC83 valve in the preamp stage. An articulate Overdrive can be engaged– either via the front panel or the included footswitch – taking you from dynamic,modern cleans to a tight high-gain overdrive.
Blackstar’s patented ISF control gives access to more distortion flexibility thanany other single-ended valve amplifier on the market. Set counter-clockwise the ISF configures the tone stack to a US response, tightening the low mids and emphasising the treble and presence frequencies. Moving the control clockwise continuously varies the tone towards a more British response, where the low midsare emphasised for a warm, ‘woody’ clean or crunch reminiscent of classic British amplifiers from years gone by. Most importantly, ISF allows you to pinpoint your exact personal tonal preference allowing you to find the sound in your head.
