EL34 power tube yields classic British crunch

The Blackstar Studio 10 EL34 packs an EL34 power tube. EL34s feature a pentode design and are at the epicenter of what’s referred to as the “British” amplifier sound. The EL34 is known for its strong mids and aggressive character and infuses the Studio 10 EL34 with truckloads of warm British crunch. Thanks to its EL34 power tube, the Studio 10 EL34 delivers a wide range of warm, crunchy tones, all pumped through a Celestion Seventy 80 speaker for defined, controlled lows and punchy, aggressive mids.

Loaded with player-friendly additions

The level of tone packed inside of the Studio 10 EL34 is impressive for a small 10-watt amp. And it’s loaded with features that are sure to add excitement to your recording sessions. Its speaker-emulated output is taken after its Class A power stage, so you’ll inject your projects with EL34 power tube tone, along with the dimensional sound of a miked-up cab. Integrating the Studio 10 EL34 with your pedalboard and other effects is a piece of cake thanks to its effects loop. You also get three external speaker outputs for adding an extension cab. Beyond that, the Studio 10 EL34 features a built-in reverb that provides lush ambience without washing out your playing.
