The Blackstar DEPT10-AMPED1 Guitar Amplifier Pedal:

The Blackstar DEPT10-AMPED1 Guitar Amplifier Pedal revolutionizes portable amplification by integrating advanced technology with exceptional versatility. This 100W guitar amplifier, designed in a compact pedal format, offers professional-grade sound quality. It is ideal for both stage and studio use.

The AMPED 1 enhances any pedalboard, modeller, or multi-effector by providing a high-performance amp experience. Its unique power amplifier circuit with current feedback replicates the interaction between a valve amp and a speaker cabinet. Consequently, it delivers a robust 100W tone compatible with 8 or 16 Ohm cabinets.

Customization is a key feature of the AMPED 1. Using Blackstar’s Architect software, you can fine-tune the reverb type, time, and tone. Additionally, you can save these settings for quick recall. The Reverb footswitch also includes a ‘Freeze’ effect, enabling creative manipulation of reverb trails.

Moreover, the AMPED 1 operates globally with a voltage range of 100V to 240V ~ 50/60Hz. This makes it perfect for international travel. Its power reduction feature allows selection between 100W, 20W, or 1W. This flexibility accommodates various performance settings.

Furthermore, the AMPED 1 provides advanced response control with five valve responses—KT88, 6L6, EL34, 6V6, and EL84. It also includes a Linear mode for transparent amplification. For connectivity, the AMPED 1 offers low latency USB audio for recording, an XLR D.I. output for live use, and an effects loop (series or parallel). Additionally, it features 2x 9V DC outputs and MIDI control.

Lastly, the CabRig DSP speaker simulator emulates a mic’d guitar cabinet. Tone adjustments are available via the Architect software, making the AMPED 1 a versatile tool for any guitarist.
