Introduction Thank you for purchasing this Blackstar valve effects pedal. Like all our products this pedal is the result of countless hours of painstaking Research and Development by our world-class design team. Based in Northampton (UK), the Blackstar team are all experienced musicians themselves and the sole aim of the development process is to provide guitarists with products which are the ultimate tools for self expression. All Blackstar products are subjected to extensive laboratory and road testing to ensure that they are truly uncompromising in terms of reliability, quality and above all TONE. If you like what you hear and want to find out more about the Blackstar range of products please visit our website at www.blackstaramps.com. Thanks! The Blackstar Team Features The HT-DUAL offers the ultimate in high voltage valve distortion flexibility. Channel 1’s Clean and Crunch modes let you move from clean, to boost to overdrive. Channel 2 then takes you from super crunch right up to screaming lead. The no compromise speaker emulated output lets you easily get it all down to tape or disk. The unique switching operation will transform a single channel vintage amp into a three channel tone machine. Use the patent- applied-for ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control to take your tone from the USA to the UK and anywhere in between. This infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control network means, for the first time, you can effectively design your own tone and finally find ‘the sound in your head’. English

7. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)
The ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass, Middle and Treble controls. It allows you to choose the exact tone signature you prefer. Fully CCW is a more American characteristic with a tight bottom end and more aggressive middle, and fully CW is a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive. See illustration below. We recommend that to start with the ISF is set to half way and the Bass, Middle and Treble are set to taste. Then try gradually adjusting the ISF CW and CCW until you find the sound you prefer.
This Level control sets the overall level or volume from Channel 1 of the pedal. It should be used in conjunction with the Gain 1 control to achieve the exact type of drive you require. Generally speaking at lower Gain settings the Volume will be increased and at higher Gain settings the Volume should be decreased.
This Level control sets the overall level or volume from Channel 2 of the pedal. It should be used in conjunction with the Gain 2 control to achieve the exact type of drive you require. Generally speaking at lower Gain settings the Volume will be increased and at higher Gain settings the Volume should be decreased.
This output is for connection to the input of your amplifier or into other pedals or effects. For best noise performance we recommend you place the overdrive pedal first in the effects chain. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead. English Controls
This Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that Channel 1 will deliver. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the sound will become more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full distorted crunch tone is arrived at.
This Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that Channel 2 will deliver. As the Gain control is increased (CW) the sound becomes more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full distorted lead tone is reached.
3. Channel 1 Clean/Crunch Mode Switch
With this switch disengaged (out) Channel 1 is configured as a clean channel. With this switch engaged (in) Channel 1 is configured as a crunch channel.
The Bass control adjusts the amount of low end frequencies in your tone. This pedal has an advanced tone shaping circuit (shared by Channel 1 and Channel 2) which allows the tone to be tight and cutting, counter clockwise (CCW), to warm and thumping (CW).
The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The middle frequencies are particularly important in getting the amount of ‘body’ your tone has. With the Middle control set to its minimum position (fully CCW) the sound will be aggressive and scooped, this is a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing. As the Middle control is increased (CW) the amount of ‘body’ is increased, which is more suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.
The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the sound. At low settings (CCW) the sound will be warm and darker in character. As the Treble control is increased (CW) the sound will become brighter. At the maximum settings the sound will be aggressive and cutting.
