Description

The 100W Multi-Channel, High-Gain Amp Pedal

The Blackstar Dept. 10 AMPED 3 is a powerful 100-watt guitar amp head designed to fit seamlessly on your pedalboard. This compact floorboard amplifier captures the authentic tone and feel of a traditional tube amp, offering three distinct channels, each with two selectable voices that range from clean tones to rich distortion. With extensive sound shaping options, including a 3-band EQ, Presence control, and Blackstar’s signature ISF control, you can easily tailor your sound to perfection.

In addition to footswitchable Boost and Reverb, the AMPED 3 features a high-quality effects loop, MIDI control, and 9-volt pedal power outputs for added convenience. The amp also incorporates Blackstars innovative Cab Rig DSP speaker simulation, allowing you to record or perform with studio-quality miked-cab tones via USB-C. Plus, you can store and recall your favorite settings as patches, making it easy to switch between tones on the fly. Whether connecting to an 8- or 16-ohm speaker cabinet or using it for direct recording, the AMPED 3 delivers impressive versatility and performance.
