Blackstar Amped 1 100W Amp Pedal

Customize the reverb type, time, and tone using Blackstar’s Architect deep-editing software, and save your settings to the Dept. 10 AMPED 1. When reverb is active, hold the Reverb footswitch to activate the ‘Freeze’ effect.

AMPED 1 is universal voltage, operating seamlessly anywhere in the world from 100V to 240V ~ 50/60Hz. Simply pack it in your carry-on and jet off hassle-free.

Create and save your favourite settings on the AMPED by holding down the Preset footswitch. Disengaging the Preset restores the controls to their physical state, providing you with instant access to two channels at your feet.

Our unique power amplifier design uses current feedback which mimics a valve amplifiers interaction with a speaker cabinet. This very high headroom design delivers the thump and presence of a 100W valve amp, compatible with any speaker cabinet at 8 or 16 Ohms.

• 100W guitar amp in a compact pedal.
• Turns any pedalboard, modeller, or multi-effector into a performance ready amp.
• The power amplifier’s unique, high-headroom design delivers maximum power and optimum tone with any cabinet set-up at 8 or 16 Ohms.
