Blackstar TV-10 B Valve Combo Overview
The Blackstar TV-10 B is a dynamic, studio-ready valve amplifier that pays homage to the golden age of British rock. This compact powerhouse delivers a rich, authentic tone that’s perfect for a wide range of genres, from classic rock to modern indie.
At the heart of the TV-10 B lies a potent EL34 power valve, renowned for its warm, smooth low-end and aggressive midrange. This valve configuration, combined with Blackstar’s meticulous design, results in a versatile amp capable of delivering everything from pristine cleans to searing high-gain tones.
The TV-10 B is designed to be incredibly user-friendly. Its simple control layout makes it easy to dial in the perfect sound, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner. The amp’s custom-voiced reverb adds depth and ambience to your playing, while the speaker-emulated output allows you to easily capture your sound and reamp it through different speaker cabinets or directly into a DAW.
