The Blackstar LT Dual is a two-channel drive pedal that covers clean boost, overdrive, crunch and high-gain lead in one compact enclosure. Channel 1 runs from clean through boost to overdrive, and Channel 2 starts at heavy crunch and goes up to a saturated lead. With a single-channel amp, it gives you three sounds at your feet: the amp's own tone plus the two pedal channels.

Two Channels, Shared Tone

Each channel has its own Gain and Level controls, so you can set a rhythm sound and a lead sound at the volumes you need. Tone and the patented ISF control are shared by both channels. Tone sets the treble, and ISF moves the voicing from an American character with a tight low end and aggressive mids to a woodier, smoother British character. Both channels use the patent-applied-for clipping circuit Blackstar voiced to match its valve pedals.

Switching

Two footswitches turn the channels on and off. With one channel active, pressing the other footswitch changes straight to that channel. A green LED shows Channel 1 is on, and a red LED shows Channel 2.
