Features
The DEBUT 15E is the practice amp, packing all the great tone and innovative
features you would expect from a Blackstar. The patented ISF (Infinite Shape
Feature) circuit gives you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone
control network and takes you from the USA to the UK and anywhere in between.
So now you can effectively design your own tone and finally find 'the sound in your
head'.
The DEBUT 15E also has a fully specified speaker emulated output allowing any
guitarist to get amazing tone straight to tape or disk, or through headphones.
Add to this an MP3 / Line Input, allowing you to jam along to your favourite tracks,
you have everything you need for practising or recording.
Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion.
When the Clean Channel is selected, low settings counter clockwise (CCW), will
deliver a clean sound. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the sound
will move from clean into break-up until, at its maximum position, a full crunch tone
is arrived at.
When the Overdrive Channel is selected, the Gain control adjusts the amount of
overdrive or distortion. Low settings, counter clockwise, will deliver a clean sound
on the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is increased CW the sound will become
more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full
distorted lead tone is arrived at.
The patented ISF allows you to choose the exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully
counter clockwise has a more American characteristic with a tight bottom-end and
more aggressive middle, and fully clockwise has a British characteristic which is
more 'woody' and less aggressive.
