Excellent review and demonstration, Cameron, and great playing, as always. I went to see Marco Mendoza live in Hull last November, his guitarist, Ivan Keller, used the Blackstar Dept 10 Dual Distortion pedal and it sounded great, he is an amazing guitarist too. Met the band before and after the gig, Ivan is a very down-to-earth and humble guy. Anyway, great review, and keep up the good work 👍🎸🎶
I have 4 HT100 heads. Although I don't care much for the clean sound the distortion sound may be the best factory distortion channel I've ever heard. ISP all the way to the right, top distortion channel without the voice 2 button pushed in with the gain at about 2 o'clock through a 4x12 V 30 loaded cab....... 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤯🤯🤯
That's what I'm talking about man 👌 the HT Dual was the heart of my board for years of studio sessions and gigs, and it never let me down. Turned a hot rod deluxe into a 3 channel monster. I snapped up one of these dept 10s a few months back and it's even better. They don't just have the sounds, they have the great feel that I feel is lacking in most distortion pedals.
Can something like this also be used to give a clean push to the crunch or distortion channel of a tube amp for that sharp metal tone like a tube screamer or the Boss SD?
U r the best Cameron Cooper. Not only r u a phenomenal guitarist (EVH), u r an honest salesman. Watching and listening 2 ur amazing skills over the years, I purchased an EVH replica (red/black and white striped series🎸 I just wish my EVH would stay in tune like urs does in all of ur videos🤟😉
Learn to set it up yourself. There are many videos on YT that show you how to set up a Floyd Rose, change strings, adjust the springs, & set the intonation, etc. If you learn to do that, and it's not rocket science, you can make it stay in tune. I go nuts with the FR sometimes, but because the set up is always right on, it holds tune great. All my buds freak out at how long I stay in tune with all the whammy work!
Surely you can figure out how to change the valve! I bet it is no trouble at all. I have a Blackstar HT5R MKIII head. The volume pot went screwy, and I had to replace it. It wasn't that hard at all. It was laid out quite well for an inexpensive tube amp. The first thing I do when I get any amp is upgrade the tubes, unless it has high quality tubes to begin with. Cheers mate!
Thank you so much Cameron for this content incredible as usual , just curious you did some EVH presets with the Blackstar amped 3 would does work on this pedal as well ? Thanks
So great to hear a guitar, on RUclips, that’s actually in tune. I always feel like I have a head cold. That HB sounds uncontrollable. The Charvel has better note definition, but at that price…
It sounds similar to the tones you get from the thr30ii, which I love and have been looking for a way to get it through a 412 cab. Do you think that can be achieved with this and a sd powerstage?
Certainly wasn’t expecting the George Lynch riffing! Humbled by your playing as always Cameron

I like the down to earth bit at the end "if that breaks, you're pretty much fuc$ed"...! Great demo, thanks... Rock on! 🤘

Niiice! Great distortion! This Charvel is great too!
That black guitar is a beast.

Doh...clearly you didn't listen...he said what do you do if it broke playing live...yeah as if you'd stop the gig to change a broken tube
Sounds amazing
EXCELLENT.
Have you already tried the new EVH 5150 Iconic Series...???
Would love to know what you think about that amps!
Thanks.
I haven't tried those.
Oh that sounds nice !
Best guitar player on youtube! Cheers!
Hot Damn Mr Scary junior!!
damn your guitar collection dude
The tube is a ECC83....they are like $30 quid...if you are gonna gig with this I would throw a couple in your guitar case.
But actually installing is the other battle
How many guitars do you have?
Could play a different guitar everyday for a month! 🤘😃🤘
Thank you so much Cameron for this content incredible as usual , just curious you did some EVH presets with the Blackstar amped 3 would does work on this pedal as well ? Thanks
I have no idea. I don't see why not if you can connect to the Architect Software
Cm plays a little Nicleback! It is a catchy riff!
Yeah! I like Nickelback, always have ever since Rockstar came out
@@CameronCooper Me too.
So great to hear a guitar, on RUclips, that’s actually in tune. I always feel like I have a head cold.
That HB sounds uncontrollable. The Charvel has better note definition, but at that price…
Thanks! The HB is a beast, perfectly controllable
Cameron, what noise gate do you use?
I don't own one
@@CameronCooper Best reply of the year!😝👌🏾🤘🏾
So what is it HT club 50 in a box
what is the guitar your playing i love it
It sounds similar to the tones you get from the thr30ii, which I love and have been looking for a way to get it through a 412 cab. Do you think that can be achieved with this and a sd powerstage?
Check out the Blackstar AMPED 3
Compared to 5150 distortion pedal from 10 yrs ago?
No idea, but I like this
What type of tube is it? i thought it was just a normal 12AX7 tube nothing special
I believe that's what it is, sounds great though!
What's you opinion on the spark amp ?
It's okay but not as good as the THR stuff
Blackstar Hater here:
Wow, this pedal sounds sick af. At $300 w/ efx loop...lol, yes please.
I'd be curious to hear it in front of an amp.
off topic, but what watch is that? Its so sick bro
It's really not. It's a family heirloom I inherited from my grandad. It's a kinetic watch made by Pulsar
What model guitar are you using in the beginning of the video?
I say...
H yeah ❤
8:40 seconds, was that Nickleback I heard 😏
Yep
This or EVH MXR 5150?
I've only ever tried this.
Even Guthrie Govans guitar sounds like god!
Thanks
This guy only has 28 guitars in the background. I don't know if I can trust him. ........... Has he ever played with Steel Panther?
I've got 2 videos to prove it
Sounds more like a distortion..
Probably why they named it a "Dual Distortion" pedal.......
and probably that is why the video says "The BEST Distortion Pedal " :)
@@SergeiVlassov its puzzling how anyone could have a distorted view of this pedal....
@@nudsh Good ☝🏾😝😝👏🏾👏🏾
Insightful comment mate..
