Blackstar TV-10 A Valve Combo Amplifier

The Blackstar TV-10 A is a dynamic amplifier with extended highs and lows, which uses an ECC83 valve in the preamp stage. A harmonically rich overdrive can be engaged – either via the front panel or the included footswitch – which can take you from a dynamic crunch to singing, smooth legato.

Much of the distinctive character of a single-ended valve amp comes from the way its power stage clips, bringing out the nuances of the chosen power amp valve. The TV-10 A amplifier features a 6L6 power valve – influenced by classic American amplifiers – which produces a characteristically bright clean sound and a hot lead tone with natural compression when pushed hard using the Master Volume. The 10 Watts of output power driving a Celestion speaker makes the TV-10 A the perfect amp for practicing and recording at home or in the studio, and for smaller live performances.

Professional features such as a specially-voiced reverb, footswitching and an effects loop augment the sonic experience, making this amplifier fully equipped for today’s exacting performance requirements.

Completing the versatile feature set, a cabinet emulated line output is included for silent practice, recording or for supporting your live sound into a PA. The signal for the emulated output is taken directly after the power amp to ensure that you can capture and record the tonal characteristics of the Class A configured 6L6 power valve and output transformer being pushed into saturation.
