Flexing a muscular KT-88 in the engine room and an ECC83/12AX7 duo in its preamp stage, the Blackstar Studio 10 KT-88 is the emerald crown jewel in Blackstar’s trio of Studio 10 guitar combo amps — each one based on a different classic output tube but all fitted with a 12-inch Celestion 70/80 speaker. In many ways, the Studio 10 KT-88 is the standout of the series. This single-ended valve design is built around the vaunted KT-88 output tube, and the only one to feature Blackstar’s acclaimed ISF circuit instead of a traditional single tone control. This makes for an amazingly versatile little recording amp. Delightfully refreshing cosmetics, featuring heavily textured teal vinyl cladding and a charcoal grillecloth with gold piping, have charmed guitarists and engineers at Sweetwater almost as much as the Studio 10 KT-88’s sonic prowess in the studio.
