Blackstar Debut 15E 15w 2x3" Practice Amp

This little amplifier is just what I was looking for in a portable, clean amp for practice levels: great for acoustic & other hollow body guitars, or quiet electric practice. The amp has a definitely analogue vibe & sound which suits me fine, as it seems to with Gretsch guitars. I don’t use the OD channel much as I can attain gainy tones with other kit, and personally I’m not too keen on the way Blackstar amps break up; however for grainy cleanish tones this amp excels, with good EQ control & the Blackstar ISF feature which seems to tweak the mids according to taste. Fat (or thin, as you like) without being loud/piercing. The “tape” delay does a nice job of filling out the sound, the repeats are quite subtle, but always on. TSR input means one can play along to recorded songs or listen to e.g. favourite YouTube channels - in stereo! Goes really well with the NU-X Stageman acoustic preamp/DI pedal which adds more EQ tweaking, chorus & reverb as well as DI with ground lift and built-in looper. A really lovely combination for sweet tones to play along with or for direct recording.
