Blackstar Amped 1

The Blackstar AMPED 1 is a complete guitar amplifier in a pedal. You can plug your guitar straight in and rock out with a connected speaker cabinet. Equally, you can use it as a powered platform for your pedals, preamps and modellers.

The Blackstar AMPED 1 was developed by the same team that has already designed the three award-winning DEPT 10 tube-based pedals. The manufacturer states that the special high-headroom design of the power amplifier delivers maximum performance and optimal sound at 8 or 16 ohms with each speaker arrangement. The power can also be reduced to 20 watts and 1 watt in order to make it super flexible.

It’s small enough to fit into your gig bag and can serve as a pure amp for your other external devices as well as standalone. You have three voicings at your disposal: USA, UK and Flat. In addition to a 3-band EQ and a reverb with a freeze effect.

ADVERTISEMENT

It also features a prominent RESPONSE button.  Here players can determine their personal amplifier tube favourite; KT88, 6L6, EL34, 6V6, EL84, or  LINEAR.

We were really impressed by the AMPED 1 when it was released earlier this year; check out our feature for the full details!

    It really offers new, innovative and diverse options for any guitarist in any style regardless of ability and the range of tones are astounding.
    Couple this with any decent, quality cab and your preferred pedals and you’ll be set for life. It really is that good.
