Blackstar TV-10 A 10-watt, 1 x 12-inch Tube Combo Amplifier

Vintage American Tube Tone with Modern Enhancements

Blackstar’s TV-10 A pays tribute to America’s rich tradition of low-wattage single-ended combo amplifiers by upgrading that timeless formula with a select set of modern enhancements. An ECC83 preamp tube, a 6L6 power tube, and a 12-inch Celestion Seventy-80 speaker supply a bright, glassy feel when played clean. On the overdrive end, the TV-10 A boasts smooth compression-rich saturation when you push the amp’s front end using the Drive voicing, Master volume knob, and Gain control. Precisely crafted by referencing the sound of vintage reverb units, the TV-10 A’s digital reverb circuit breathes space and dimension into your signal with the turn of a knob. Most impressive are the features that are rarely found on a tube amp of this size, including a post-power-amp speaker-emulated line output and a built-in effects loop to optimize the sound of your pedals. Charming cream Tolex and a basketweave grille seal the deal with a decidedly vintage-inspired aesthetic flavor.

6L6 power tube yields glassy cleans and toneful grit

The Blackstar TV-10 A is loaded with a 6L6 power tube. Prized for its fat, round low end and bright clean tones, the 6L6 epitomizes American amplifier tone. This tube is also extremely versatile, performing as well for clean jazz as it does for hot lead tones. Thanks to its 6L6 power tube, the TV-10 A delivers a wide range of vintage tones, all pumped through a Celestion Seventy-80 speaker for defined, controlled lows and punchy, aggressive mids.

Loaded with player-friendly additions

The level of tone packed into the TV-10 A is impressive for a small 10-watt amp, and it’s loaded with features that will surely add excitement to your recording sessions. Its speaker-emulated output is taken after its Class A power stage, so you’ll inject your projects with 6L6-power-tube tone and the dimensional sound of a miked-up cab. Integrating the TV-10 A with your pedalboard and other effects is a piece of cake, thanks to its effects loop. You also get three external speaker outputs to add an extension cab. Beyond that, the built-in reverb provides lush ambience without washing out your playing.
