The Blackstar Dept. 10 Amped 1 is a professional 100w guitar amp in a compact pedal that delivers the response and ‘feel’ of a real guitar amp. It’s compact design can be easily integrated into your existing rig, with the power to turn any pedalboard, amp modeller, or multi-effects unit into a performance ready amp. Amped 1’s unique, high-headroom power amp design delivers maximum power and optimum tone with any cab set-up at 8 or 16 Ohms. Better still, Amped 1 is small enough to carry in your gig bag pocket, allowing you to take your tone with you anywhere!

Amped 1 features three distinctly different voices, putting a host of classic tones at your feet. “USA” is inspired by classic American amps of the ’60s, delivering sparkling cleans with a solid low end. “UK” is based on a much-loved British Class A amp from the early ’60s with plenty of classic medium gain crunch tones. Finally, “Flat” is a neutral preamp with a semi-parametric EQ, ideal for use with external preamps and amp modellers.

Amped 1 also boasts five distinctly different authentic power valve responses – KT88, 6L6, EL34, 6V6, EL84. Each setting delivers the response, dynamics, sag and break-up characteristics of the selected valve power amp.
