Blackstar Dept. 10 AMPED 3 100W Guitar Amplifier Pedal with Boost and Reverb

AMPED 3 is a 100 Watt multi-channel amplifier in a pedal enclosure. Featuring one of the highest gain circuits Blackstar has ever designed, and the ability to save and recall your favourite tones as presets. AMPED 3 delivers the character and response of traditional tube amps. Use it in front of a traditional amp, drive a 100-watt cabinet, or connect directly to take your sound anywhere. With a power reduction down to 1W and USB-C connectivity, AMPED 3 is at home in studio or on stage. Key Features 100w high gain, performance ready amp with user presets. Unique high-headroom design that automatically matches to the speaker impedance to deliver maximum power and optimum tone with any 8 or 16Ohm cabinet set-up. Response control delivers three distinctly different and authentic power valve responses – EL34, 6L6 and EL84. Each setting delivers the response, dynamics, sag and break-up characteristics of the selected valve power amp. Choose from Clean Bright, Clean Warm, Crunch, Super Crunch, OD1 and OD2 voicings to dial in your perfect tone. Built in Boost that can be set to Pre or Post. Built in studio quality Reverb with ‘freeze’ function. Pro connectivity and integration into your setup using low latency USB audio as an interface for recording, TRS stereo line out and XLR Mono D.I. for live use. Effects loop, 2x 9V DC outputs and MIDI control for easy integration into your pedalboard or rig. CabRig built in. High Headroom Power Amp Design - Get maximum power and perfect tone with any cabinet set-up at 8 or 16 Ohms. The power amp’s unique, high-headroom design doesn't compromise on output, even at 16 Ohms. Blackstar’s patented Response control provides unique and authentic power tube response and guitar amp dynamics. Speaker Simulator and Direct Outputs - Tailor your cabinet, mic, and room simulations with our CabRig technology and output with the XLR or stereo jack. Alternatively, connect via USB for quick and simple recording to your DAW without need for an interface. Programmable Presets - Create, save and recall your favourite Clean, Crunch and Overdrive presets directly from AMPED 3. Selectable Power Tube Response - Three distinctly unique power tube responses are switchable via the Response switch, delivering authentic feel, sag, and harmonic response of EL84, EL34 and 6L6 tubes respectively. Pro I/O - Integrate AMPED 3 into your setup with ease either using the low-latency USB port to connect as an audio interface for recording, or the XLR DI out for going straight into the front of house. CabRig™ - Featuring Blackstar's groundbreaking DSP speaker simulator that accurately recreates the character and feel of a mic'd guitar cabinet with expert detail. Go in-depth with the accompanying free Architect software and fine tune your cab response. Pedalboard Perfect - Including an effects loop, 2x 9VDC outputs and MIDI control, AMPED 3 fits seamlessly into your pedalboard signal chain or amp rig. Power Reduction - Switchable between 100W, 20W and 1W, you can quickly and easily get the optimal blend of power and response for any live or studio scenario via the Power Reduction switch. Boost - An integrated Boost circuit alleviates the need for external boost stompboxes, and can be selected to insert Pre or Post, enabling you to push the front end of an amp harder for tighter, more aggressive tone with rich harmonic saturation in Pre mode, or use as a pure clean volume boost for jacking up leads and solos in Post. Reverb - The integrated Reverb circuit features 2 unique reverb modes: Dark, and Light. The Reverb character can be adjusted further inside the Architect software. ISF - Blackstar's patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) allows you to move your sound from a more British mid range character to a tighter and more scooped American amp response and everywhere in between.
