Blackstar Amped 3 Dept. 10 100W High Gain Amp Pedal

Blackstar's AMPED 3 represents the pinnacle of portable power amplification, packing 100 watts of high-gain valve amp tone into a compact pedal format. This multi-channel power amplifier builds upon the success of its predecessors with user-storable presets for Clean, Crunch and OD tones, plus built-in Boost and Reverb with freeze functionality. The unit's versatility shines through its ability to power cabinets, connect directly to mixing desks, or integrate with traditional amplifiers, making it an essential tool for guitarists who need consistent tone across different venues.

The inclusion of Blackstar's CabRig technology sets the AMPED 3 apart from conventional power amps, offering hundreds of cabinet, microphone and room combinations for direct recording or performance without speakers. Developed by Dept. 10, Blackstar's specialist R&D team, the amplifier uses current feedback technology that mimics the interaction between valve amps and speaker cabinets. This innovative approach maintains the thump and presence guitarists expect from traditional tube amplification while offering modern conveniences like power reduction down to 1W and USB-C connectivity.

Universal voltage compatibility (100v-240v 50/60Hz) ensures the AMPED 3 performs consistently worldwide, while comprehensive connectivity options including low-latency USB, XLR and line outputs, MIDI control, and configurable effects loop make it studio and stage ready. The compact design fits easily into gig bags, solving the age-old problem of maintaining consistent tone when travelling or working with different backline equipment.
