The Blackstar TV-10 BH is a 10-watt Class A valve amplifier head with a distinctly British voice. This ex-display unit offers the same all-valve circuitry and control set as a brand-new model, with some minor shelf wear from the shop floor. It has been checked and is ready for use.

The TV-10 B is voiced to deliver the midrange punch and growl associated with classic British amps. The single-ended Class A design responds to picking dynamics and guitar volume, moving from clean tones to harmonically rich overdrive as you turn up. The EL34 and ECC83 valve combination provides natural compression and a lively feel.
Controls are straightforward: switch between the clean channel and the Boost setting for crunch, and add the reverb for depth. The valve reverb is designed to sit naturally in the sound, rather than overpower it. For recording or running into a desk, the emulated line output captures the power amp saturation, and the series effects loop keeps modulation and delay signals clear.
Condition and Buying Notes
As an ex-display item, this amplifier head may show light handling marks, but all functions are operational. It is a discontinued or end-of-line unit, which is why it is offered below the original retail price. When buying ex-display, check that the valves are seated correctly and that the controls operate smoothly. The included FS-4S footswitch gives you remote control over Boost and reverb.
