Features
Pedalboard 100 W amplifier
AMPED 1 delivers up to 100 watts of power in a rugged pedal format, so you can drive a real guitar cabinet on stage or in the studio without carrying a bulky combo or head. It is purpose built for tight pedalboard layouts and gives you the headroom and punch needed for full band contexts while remaining easy to transport.
Authentic amp voices and tone shaping
Three switchable amp voices provide everything from articulate cleans to classic British crunch and saturated high gain, with Blackstar’s ISF control to fine tune the overall character. The intuitive front panel makes it simple to dial in your sound quickly, letting you match different guitars and pedals without menu diving.
CabRig direct outs and USB audio
Go straight to front of house, monitors or an interface with CabRig speaker emulation for consistent, mic’d-up tones without a loud cab. A USB-C connection turns AMPED 1 into a handy audio interface for recording or practice, and the dedicated headphone output offers silent sessions with convincing feel.
Gig ready connectivity
An effects loop integrates time based pedals cleanly, while balanced XLR and line outputs make it easy to plug into modern PA systems. With power reduction on tap, you can tailor output for small rooms or quiet rehearsals, and the solid metal chassis is built to withstand regular transport and school or venue use.
