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.

• The 60 Second Story
• 100W 3 channel pedal power amp.
• Performance ready amp with multi effects. 
• Unique high-headroom design that automatically matches to the speaker impedance to deliver maximum power and optimum tone with any 8 or 16 Ohm 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 USA, UK and Classic Amp voicings to dial in your perfect tone.
• 3 drive voices – Boost, Drive and Fuzz.
• Effects include Modulation, Delay and Reverb. 
• 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, 2 x 9V DC outputs and MIDI control for easy integration into your pedalboard or rig.
• On board Chromatic Tuner allowing for tuning on the fly during live performances.
• Inside Information:
• 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.
