Blackstar HT Series HT-DUAL Tube Dual Distortion

Blackstar HT Series HT-DUAL Tube Dual Distortion Guitar Effects PedalThe other day, I posted about Paul Banks (Interpol) and his pedal board. On there was a Blackstar HT Series HT-DUAL Tube Dual Distortion and I was not too familiar with this distortion/overdrive pedal, and I wanted to take a look. Here we have a 2 channel tube distortion/overdrive pedal, using 300V circuitry. There are 2 cascading ECC83 triode stages in here, giving you a ‘crunch’ stage (channel 1) and saturation stage (channel 2).

Here is the official description of the pedal:

The HT-DUAL pedal from Blackstar’s HT Range of tube overdrive pedals features true high-voltage (300V) circuitry and are packed with innovations and tone. The revolutionary, patent-applied-for tone-shaping feature ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) will redefine the tonal expectations of guitarists.

HT-DUAL pedal’s Channel 1 has either Clean or Crunch modes so it can be used clean, as a boost or overdrive. Channel 2 gives distortion tones from super crunch right up to screaming lead. The unique switching operation will transform a single channel vintage amp into a 3-channel tone machine. The ISF control takes you from ‘British Valve’ to ‘Modern American’ and anywhere in-between.

Add to this the no-compromise, speaker-emulated output and you have the most cost-effective way of getting real tube tones direct to disk or tape.

PURE TUBE DISTORTION
The HT-DUAL has high voltage tube design for true tube dynamics and feel. 2 cascaded ECC83 triode stages for gain from warm boost to screaming lead. Enhanced tone network for massive tonal flexibility with traditional passive network musicality. Patent-Applied-For ISF control allows access to infinite new sounds. Emulated output is a new benchmark design for pro direct recording sounds. High-integrity bypass for silent switching and driving long cables.

So whether you’re playing live or recording, with the HT Range of pedals you can finally get the sound you want.
