Blackstar Dept. 10 Amped 2 100W Amp & Multi Effects Pedal

AMPED 2 is a 100 Watt pedal power amplifier with drive pedals in the front end, and an advanced effects processor capable of delivering the tone and feel of a traditional valve amp. You can use it to power a cabinet, go direct or connect to the front end of a traditional amp, ensuring you can take your sound with you anywhere. Power reduction down to 1W and USB-C connectivity means it’s equally at home in the studio or the stage.

Features

• Dept. 10 is the Blackstar R&D team responsible for blue sky innovation and design. This team of engineers are all musicians themselves and are constantly researching new ideas to help create your perfect tone.

• The 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 valve amp with 100W power into any speaker cabinet at 8 or 16 ohms.

• Universal voltage so can be used anywhere in the world from 90V to 264V 50/60Hz

• Use our free Architect software to Deep dive settings for reverb, effects loop and more.

• Small enough to fit in a gig-bag pocket.

• 4 channel audio USB for easy recording.

• CabRig overcomes the shortcomings of IR ‘snapshots’ and uses state of the art digital processing to reproduce the sound and feel of a mic’d up guitar cab in incredible detail. Over 250 mic and cab combinations can be saved into one of the three onboard slots. Each cab has a choice of mic type and axis, alongside room mics and master EQ. Connect to the free Architect software for more deep-dive options.
