Vintage-voiced tube combo amp takes you back to the golden age of American tone.
The Blackstar TV-10A tube combo amp delivers vintage American tone in a compact package. Perfect for studio, stage or home, this single-ended 1x12" amp is powered by an ECC83 preamp tube and 6L6 power tube to provide shimmering clean tones and natural overdrive. With two footswitchable voices and lush reverb, you can shape your sound from pristine cleans to saturated grit.
Class-A Circuitry Provides Distinctive Tone
The TV-10A's class-A circuitry uses a single power tube operating in a non-push-pull configuration to create its signature sound. Class-A amps are known for their touch-sensitive and dynamically responsive nature, allowing the 6L6 power tube to clip in a particularly musical way. You'll hear the power tube saturate and compress at higher volumes, providing a hot lead tone with rich harmonics and sustain. The 12" Celestion speaker is perfectly matched to the amp's output, accurately reproducing the textures of overdriven power tubes.
Versatile Voices and Reverb
Two footswitchable voices provide a variety of tones in this compact combo. Voice 1 offers a classic clean sound with subtle breakup at higher volumes, ideal for blues, rock and pop. Voice 2 introduces more gain and grit for overdriven rock and heavier styles. Our custom-designed digital reverb adds dimension to your sound. Meticulously crafted to capture the tone of vintage reverb tanks, this lush hall-style reverb enhances both clean and overdriven tones.
Professional Direct Output
The TV-10A includes a balanced line out with cabinet emulation, allowing you to connect directly to a PA, audio interface or recording console. The emulated output is taken after the power amp stage, preserving the tone of the overdriven 6L6 power tube and output transformer. Use it to record or for live performance, tapping into the sound of a cranked tube amp at any volume.
