Blackstar Series One 10W Anniversary Edition Amp with KT88 Power Tube (Refurbished)
Brimming with KT88-injected fury, the Blackstar Series One
10 AE Amp takes the sonic character of their acclaimed Series One 200 head and
packs it into a 10-watt combo. This amp runs the full gamut of tones. Its
cleans take advantage of the KT88's ample headroom, delivering gorgeous sparkle
even at high volumes, while its overdriven sound is tight, defined, and
drenched in rich harmonics. Dial in the perfect blend of British and American
characters with the Blackstar's patented ISF control, then add some ambiance
with the Series One 10 AE's built-in reverb. Limited to only 1000 pieces, the
Series One 10 AE also features an effects loop, speaker-emulated output, and a
footswitch. This is a certified refurbished product
backed by a 90-day warranty.
KT88 Power Tube Yields Great Rock Tones
Instead of the usual EL34 or 6L6 power tube, the Series One 10 AE employs a
KT88. The KT88s fall somewhere between the glassier tone of an EL34 and the
harder-edged 6550. Guitarists at Sweetwater know that KT88s are renowned for
their tight, defined lows, and the Series One 10 AE is no exception. You also
get a ton of headroom, so your cleans retain their sparkle at higher volumes.
That being said, KT88s can still get plenty rude when you push them. The Series
One 10 AE also boasts an ECC83 preamp tube, along with a built-in overdrive
that yields beautiful saturated tones.
Infinite Shape Feature Dials Your Drive from American to British Tone
The Blackstar Series One 10 AE is packed with a massive spread of tube tone, by
Blackstar's Infinite Shape Feature (ISF). When you turn the control fully
counterclockwise, you'll lend an American characteristic to your tone with a
tight bottom end and an aggressive middle. Turned the clockwise, you'll enjoy
more of a British vibe, with a woodier sound that's less aggressive. With the
Series One 10 AE, you'll find an endless array of useful tones at your
disposal.
Add Dimension to Your Playing with Digital Reverb and an Effects Loop
The Blackstar Series One 10 AE is packed with a solid-sounding digital reverb.
Turn it fully counterclockwise, and the reverb is deactivated, leaving room for
external effects. Turn it fully clockwise, and experience a lush ambience that
adds dimension to your playing without washing it out. Integrating the Series
One 10 AE with your pedalboard and other effects is a piece of cake, thanks to
its effects loop. The Series One 10 AE's Loop Level switch makes matching your
amp to your other gear easy.
