Blackstar Amplification Blackstar LT DUAL Overdrive Pedal

The Blackstar LT Dual Overdrive Pedal is one of the most versatile pedals you can buy to beef up your guitar sound. This little will greatly expand the tones your can get from your guitar amp. What makes this compact overdrive pedal so special? Quite a few things actually. Firstly it is capable of not only a subtle boost to you amp but stomping on channel 2 can send you into high gain madness. Combined with the Blackstar Amps ISF, a huge range of tones are available. This is an overdrive pedal to rule all!

The Blackstar LT Dual has 2 separate foot-switchable channels. It can essentially be set up as two different amp sounds. Channel one could be a crunch or a boost. Channel 2 could be a thicker overdrive or lead channel. Each individual channel has its own gain and level controls. Combine these with the ISF and the tone control you’ll get a wealth of great sounds. The ISF stands for Infinite Shape Feature. It either emphasises the upper or lower mids of your guitar sound. Essentially making it either more British or more American sounding and everything in between. It is the perfect feature to sculpt your own sounds.

Blackstar Amps have included a new Clipping Circuit with this overdrive pedal. This makes the Blackstar LT Dual deliver a warm compressed tone much like a valve amp. In fact, this pedal really comes to life when used with a good quality valve amp that lacks a bit of gain. A Fender perhaps?

The Blackstar LT Dual will happily run on batteries or mains. It comes with batteries but a 9 volt power supply in optional. It also follows the trend of effects pedals getting smaller and smaller. A good idea since it reduces weight and pedal board space.
