Your journey to learning the electric guitar should be inspiring and exciting. Start with a Blackstar Debut Series guitar amplifier to instantly achieve great tones that will make you crave learning and practicing the guitar more and more. The control layout is made very simple for beginners to easily dial in their desired sounds. The Blackstar Debut 10E Guitar Amp is plug-and-play at its finest; you just have 3 control knobs (Volume, ISF, and Delay effect time) to take charge of. The ISF control lets you go from sparkly-bright to thick and woody with just a twist of a single knob. Unlike other small "starter" amps that sound thin and bland, the Debut 10E has a built-in Delay effect to give your sound depth and ambience. Switch on the Overdrive channel to get a rich, overdrive sound that suits a lot of musical styles. The Overdrive channel also encourages you to learn playing dynamics and the "art of the guitar volume knob"; getting different sound textures with just your hands. There's also a line input so you can connect your phone or audio player and practice along music or video tracks. For silent practice, simply plug in your headphones into the speaker-emulated headphone jack and still get the sound of a real amp! At this price, it's hard to find a starter amp that sounds this good! Start with a Blackstar Debut 10E Guitar Amp for hours and hours of playing fun!
