Bold British Tube Tone with Modern Enhancements
Modernizing Britain’s long-standing legacy of superb valve-powered amplification, the Blackstar TV-10B packs vintage-style grit and growl in spades. An ECC83 preamp tube, an EL34 power tube, and a 12-inch Celestion speaker supply a rich and smooth response when played clean. On the overdrive end, the TV-10 B grants you a blooming British-style 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 B’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. Crowned with a handsome green Tolex wrap and a silver birch fret, Blackstar’s TB-10 B brings timeless British tone to your next recording session or stage performance.
EL34 power tube yields classic British crunch
The Blackstar TV-10 B packs an EL34 power tube. EL34s feature a pentode design and are at the epicenter of what’s referred to as the “British” amplifier sound. The EL34 is revered at City Music for its strong mids and aggressive character, and it infuses the TV-10 B with truckloads of warm British crunch. Thanks to its EL34 power tube, the TV-10 B delivers a wide range of warm, crunchy tones, all pumped through a Celestion speaker for defined, controlled lows and punchy, aggressive mids.
Loaded with player-friendly additions
The level of tone packed into the TV-10 B 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 EL34-power-tube tone and the dimensional sound of a miked-up cab. Integrating the TV-10 B 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.
