Blackstar TV-10 AH 10-Watt Guitar Amp Head

The Blackstar TV-10 AH is a 10-watt single-ended Class A tube guitar amp head designed to deliver classic American-voiced valve tones in a compact and portable format. It’s built for players who value touch sensitivity, dynamic response, and simplicity — whether at home, in the studio, or on small stages.

Key Tone and Circuit Features

Classic American Class A Design

• Uses a single-ended Class A power amp topology for rich, harmonically-rich tone and expressive feel.
• Powered by a 6L6 power tube with an ECC83 (12AX7) preamp tube, giving shimmering cleans and smooth overdrive when pushed.

Two Footswitchable Voices

• Clean channel: Warm, articulate cleans with headroom ideal for rhythm and pedal use.
• Drive channel: Natural power-stage breakup and organic saturation inspired by classic vintage amps.
• Channels can be switched via the included footswitch for hands-free control.

Straightforward Controls

• Simple front-panel controls (Gain, Tone, Master Volume, Reverb) let you shape your sound without complexity.
• Designed for intuitive, plug-and-play performance.

Connectivity & Practical Features

Speaker-Emulated Output

• A speaker-emulated line/headphone output taken after the power amp allows for quiet practice or direct recording with authentic valve character.

Series Effects Loop

• Dedicated effects loop integrates your time-based and modulation pedals cleanly into the signal chain.

Custom-Voiced Digital Reverb

• Adds depth and ambience to your tone without muddying the core sound, and can be toggled via footswitch.

Design & Use

Compact, Portable, Durable

• Weighing around ~19.4 lb (8.8 kg), this head is easy to transport and ideal for small spaces, rehearsal rooms, studios, or clubs.

Built-in Flexibility

• Works as a full rig with a speaker cab, or can run direct to PA/recording systems via the emulated output.
• Great foundation for pedalboards due to its responsive clean tones and effects loop.

Who It’s For

This amp head is perfect for blues, roots, classic rock, and Americana players who want touch-sensitive dynamics, vintage-inspired tones, and studio-ready features in a lightweight, easy-to-use package. Clean glassy tones, creamy breakup, and real valve feel are at the core of its design.
