Description
Blackstar’s new Debut Series practice amplifiers are designed for beginners who want exceptional guitar tone straight out of the starting block. Incredibly easy to dial-in, these analogue amps boast classy aesthetics and even sport some premium features that you’d find on high-end Blackstar amps – including a built-in ‘Tape’ echo effect, Blackstar’s flexible ‘Infinite Shape Feature’ (ISF) and a speaker-emulated output.
The Blackstar 15E is the biggest in the Debut range, and with stereo 3″ linear speakers and 15w of power – it’s more than loud enough for the home!
Key Features
- Simplicity is Key – This analogue practice amp is designed to give natural and musical sounding clean and overdrive tones that keep you coming back for more. Its patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control lets you dial in any tone from scooped American cleans to mid-heavy British-inspired crunch.
- Tape Echo – The Debut 15E comes loaded with a unique digital ‘tape’ echo effect for the ultimate tonal embellishment.
- Versatile Connections – This versatile practise amp is built for any situation! With its headphone and speaker emulated outputs for silent practice and recording as well as its stereo line in for listening to your favourite music, games, movies, backing tracks and more.
2-Channel Design
Most compact practice amps only offer a dry clean sound, but the Blackstar Debut 10E allows you to attain crunchy overdrive tones via its second channel. Simply press the ‘OD’ switch on the control panel and enjoy a stunning saturated sound that can be tweaked via the effective ‘ISF’ EQ control and a separate ‘Tone’ knob.
Built-In Tape Delay Effect
If you want to add some space, engage the ‘DELAY’ button to embellish your sound with an old-school ‘Tape’ echo effect. This is perfect for thickening up solos or giving clean parts some dreamy ambient trails.
MP3/Line In
The Blackstar Debut 10E’s ‘MP3/Line In’ source allows for playback through its stereo linear speakers, making it perfect for listening to music, games and movies through. However, the biggest benefit of this is that it allows you to play along to backing tracks from a connected phone, tablet or laptop!
Speaker-Emulated Output
A speaker-emulated output places the Blackstar Debut 10E above most other practice amps on the market – especially within it’s super-affordable price bracket. Allowing you to record directly into an audio interface with a convincing mic’d speaker sound, you can also plug your headphones into this output for an immersive amp tone.
