Pedal Platform Amps

Let your pedals fully express their sonic potential with an amplifier that works to deliver your best tone. If you use pedals to craft and shape your guitar tone, we’ve put together a collection of the best amps that deliver accurate and versatile sounds when used with a pedalboard.

Typically, high-wattage valve amps with balanced clean tones and integrated effects loops will give your pedals the best clarity, expression and functionality. Fender are well-known for their pedal-friendly amps. Their high-headroom and natural-sounding clean tones let your pedals open up, delivering a truly vibrant sound. Orange, Vox and Marshall are also pedal-platform favourites. Although they slightly impart their own signature essence on the sound rather than remaining as neutral as possible, their tonal characteristics blend incredibly well with most pedals, especially high-gain circuits. Other great pedal platform brands include Blackstar who’s amps offer solid base clean tones and work well at lower volumes.

Modelling amps, like Kemper’s legendary powerhead, can also work fantastically with effects pedals. Although they already provide excellent built-in effects, their stunningly authentic amp profiles provide superb platforms for those who still want physical stompboxes to shape their sound, letting your carefully crafted tone shine through.

For anyone who uses pedals to define their sound, a pedal platform amp is an essential tool, offering the foundation needed to bring out the best in your setup. Explore our range to find the perfect match for you.
