The Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Distortion is a two-channel distortion unit with two switchable voices per channel, based on preamp circuitry designed to behave like a real tube amplifier under the hood. Each channel has a dedicated Gain and Level control, with shared Tone and ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) controls. The ISF knob sweeps between American and British gain characters. Includes cab simulation for direct recording. Described as feeling and responding like a proper valve amp even through a solid-state amplifier.
The Universal Audio UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead Amp is a Marshall Super Lead amp emulation from Universal Audio (Santa Cruz, California), delivering a DSP-modeled recreation of the 1968 Marshall Super Lead plexi amp for the classic British plexi crunch and lead tone used by Hendrix, Page, and countless rock players. The Lion '68 Super Lead Amp uses Universal Audio DSP-powered analog-modeling to deliver studio-quality marshall super lead amp emulation in a compact pedalboard format.
