TV-10 A is a dynamic, studio ready valve amplifier that pays tribute to the classic American sounds of yesteryear and embraces simplicity and sonic purity within a compact cab. With its 6L6 power valve and boutique aesthetics, it promises authentic American tones and styling.

This amp is the result of countless hours of painstaking Research and Development by Blackstar's world-class design team. Based in Northampton (UK), the Blackstar team are all experienced musicians themselves and the sole aim of the development process is to provide guitarists with products which are the ultimate tools for self-expression.

All Blackstar products are subjected to extensive laboratory and road testing to ensure that they are truly uncompromising in terms of reliability, quality and above all TONE. Influenced by historic American amplifiers, this 10 Watt single-ended, Class A valve combo gives you all the tone and feel of a classic 6L6-driven amplifier in a compact format, perfect for the home, studio or smaller live performances.

The TV-10 A is a dynamic amplifier with extended highs and lows, which uses an ECC83 valve in the preamp stage. A harmonically rich overdrive can be engaged – either via the front panel or the included footswitch – which can take you from a dynamic crunch to singing, smooth legato.

Much of the distinctive character of a single-ended valve amp comes from the way its power stage clips, bringing out the nuances of the chosen power amp valve. The TV-10 A amplifier features a 6L6 power valve – influenced by classic American amplifiers – which produces a characteristically bright clean sound and a hot lead tone with natural compression when pushed hard using the Master Volume. The 10 Watts of output power driving a Celestion speaker makes the TV-10 A the perfect amp for practicing and recording at home or in the studio, and for smaller live performances.

Professional features such as a specially-voiced reverb, footswitching and an effects loop augment the sonic experience, making this amplifier fully equipped for today’s exacting performance requirements. Completing the versatile feature set, a cabinet emulated line output is included for silent practice, recording or for supporting your live sound into a PA. The signal for the emulated output is taken directly after the power amp to ensure that you can capture and record the tonal characteristics of the Class A configured 6L6 power valve and output transformer being pushed into saturation.

POLAR is THE audio interface that is specially designed to enhance your guitar DI signal in a way that brings back the coveted feel and response of playing through a real valve guitar amplifier.

In 2004, four friends, all bandmates, were looking for a new challenge. Having worked together for years at the highest levels of the amp designing industry, their dream was to create new and innovative guitar amplifiers and pedals that would be the ultimate tools for self expression.
