Blackstar LT Dual Overdrive Pedal Demo

The LT DUAL offers the ultimate in distortion flexibility. Channel 1 lets you move from clean, to boost to overdrive. Channel 2 then takes you from super crunch right up to screaming lead. The unique switching operation will transform a single channel amp into a three channel tone machine.
Blackstar's patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) circuit, giving you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control, will take you from the USA to the UK and anywhere in between, whilst the patent-applied-for clipping circuit delivers amazing valve-like tone and compression for a wide variety of playing styles.

I must say that I’ve owned this peak for about three years and I don’t have any complaints. I use the right channel for rights and soft lead, and I switch to the left channel for a more aggressive tone; kinda likes boost. I’ve been thinking about purchasing an Alberta 2 from T Rex but I actually like my Blackstar.

It would be nice to MAX all the pots to hear the full range of the pedal's options.  Just dialing in settings you like isn't really a demo.
But thanks!

I have one of these; used it in my old band as a clean boost.  If you're running it into a clean amp, you can set up the other one as a distorted lead tone.  It worked okay in that application.  We were playing a lot of sixties tunes, so I was on straight clean most of the time.  But I wound up getting an MXR clean boost pedal as well and that was a lot better.  Clean sound, a clean boost and two distortion settings.  Nice pedal; I found the tones pretty usable.  Not bad for $65 used.  Thanks for posting, Shane!

I have a fuzz as my main rhythm tone and a bad monkey before the fuzz as an almost clean boost for a lead tone. But if I get this, I can set up the first channel for a hotter rhythm tone (for more song dynamics) and the 2nd for a lead tone.

Excellent.

Works so well with the artist Tweed tone 20r

I bought this pedal several months ago and have used it many times at various venues; both small bars and larger lounge type rooms. This pedal is very nice; however, I found it to have too much bottom end; no matter how I tweaked it, that bottom still reverberated through. It clashed with the bass and was hidden in the band bass mix. I ended up going back to my "Boss Dual Overdrive" pedal because it has much less bass and can be heard clearly and distinctly in the band mix. Don't get me wrong; its a wonderful overdrive sound; its just a bit too much bottom end. It might work better through a Fender or Marshal amp.

you didn't turn the gain up much, only half a demo?
 

[germanrailaf]

Lo estoy viendo porque buscaba info pero me parece que los primeros minutos usa el canal 1 y perillea el 2?

[danielradakovic]

Do you think you could do a demo of this with a wah? And maybe a more in depth on the channel switching?

[bradmarden]

Just wondering if there is a delay when switching channels? Apparently this is a bit of an issue with the ht dual

[Kyle_Krazy]

Does it take batteries? Or only a power adapter?!

[ArielsSmartyPants]

Shane, did you ever end up trying one of these live? I find them to sound kind of sterile and a bit flat. I know we never look to color our guitar but it doesn't seem to have any "magic"

[jakesmith]

this pedal has a good sound but it completely drops out when going from one channel to the other. This is frustrating. has anyone else experienced this? I mean this thing kills the sound completely for a split second. that sucks.

[podoz]

are the tone and isf knobs both master controls for both channels?
which do you like better?... this pedal or visual sounds double trouble?
cheers!

[kubyn]

Ch1 is okay. But 2 just thin and fizzy. But for the money. Its very cool.

[Steveisnothereanymore]

Can you use the first channel of this pedal to boost an already driven amp?

[DannyPeel]

Turned off at the "you'd assume you could run both at the same time, but you actually can't"... what a waste of a dual pedal IMO sort that out Blackstar ffs. Good video though dude.

[triplejudy]

I am not a complainer; nor am i critical of a product for no reason. However I must post this ! I used this pedal on three live gigs upon purchasing this last month. Just last week during my 4th outing it simply stopped working in the middle of our 2nd set at the same time making a loud hum - it was plugged into an outlet so it was not the battery. I have since made attempts to fix this with no positive results. I just needed to let you all know.

[Fullcollapse]

This is a shitty demo! You can get that tone you showed just by using the Amp's overdrive. You gotta crank it so we can really hear a difference.

[Seantzo]

Just play power chords.... The cheesy soloing doesnt give the best idea of differential. Simplicity is much better for these reviews.
