The Blackstar Dept. 10 AMPED 1 is a professional 100-watt guitar amp in a compact pedal. It turns any pedalboard, modeller, or multi-effector into a performance-ready amp and ensures you can take your sound with you anywhere.

High Headroom Power Amp Design

The power amplifier's unique, high-headroom design does not compromise on output even at 16 ohms. Get maximum power and optimum tone with any cabinet set-up at 8 or 16 ohms. Blackstar's patented Response control offers distinctly different and authentic power valve responses and guitar amp dynamics.

Speaker Simulator and Direct Outputs

Fine-tune your cabinet, mic, and room simulations with Cab Rig technology and output via XLR or stereo jack. Or, connect via USB for effortlessly simple recording to your DAW without the need for an interface.

Reverb With Freeze Effect

The reverb type, time and tone can be customised using Blackstar's Architect deep-editing software and saved to the Dept. 10 AMPED 1 in place of the default reverb. When the Reverb is active, holding the Reverb footswitch will activate the 'Freeze' effect.

Universal Voltage

Dept 10. AMPED 1 is universal voltage so can be used anywhere in the world from 100V to 240V ~ 50/60Hz. Just stick it in your gigbag and hop on that plane.

Footswitchable Preset

Create and save your favorite settings to the AMPED 1 by holding down the "preset" footswitch. Disengaging the preset will return the settings to the physical state of the controls, giving you two channels at your feet.

Authentic Valve Amp Feel

The unique power amplifier design uses current feedback which mimics a valve amplifier's 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.
