Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Drive Pedal

The Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Drive is a dual-channel, valve-driven Overdrive pedal, powered by an ECC83 valve. Channel 1’s Clean and Crunch modes let you move from clean, to boost to overdrive. Channel 2 then takes you from super crunch right up to screaming lead. Both powerful and practical, the Dept 10 is powered by a standard 9v supply, and comes with its own PSU.

The Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Drive Pedal is now available from Merchant City Music, online and in our Glasgow store. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are always happy to run you through its features, and set you up for a demo in our dedicated test booth.
