The famed Amplifier No.10 by BC Audio has received a "major update" giving this already powerful all-tube amplifier a modern overdrive sound, dual independent boosts and the best effects loops in the industry. 

(PRESS RELEASE): BC Audio announced that its most powerful and feature rich all-tube guitar amp, Amplifier No. 10, has undergone a significant redesign. This major update gives the amp a more modern voice, taking its tonal cues from an era of "modded" amps and hi-gain innovations. The effects loop has also been improved, with the ability to cleanly interface with a wider variety of outboard gear.

“I am very pleased with this update,” says BC Audio founder and award-winning guitarist Bruce Clement.

The effects loop is fully tube buffered, has Send Level and Return Level controls, True Bypass switch, is non-inverting and is compatible with all types of outboard gear.
