Product Description

The Blackstar Dept. 10 Amped 1 is a professional 100w guitar amp in a compact pedal that delivers the response and ‘feel’ of a real guitar amp. It's compact design can be easily integrated into your existing rig, with the power to turn any pedalboard, amp modeller, or multi-effects unit into a performance ready amp. Amped 1's unique, high-headroom power amp design delivers maximum power and optimum tone with any cab set-up at 8 or 16 Ohms. Better still, Amped 1 is small enough to carry in your gig bag pocket, allowing you to take your tone with you anywhere!

Amped 1 features three distinctly different voices, putting a host of classic tones at your feet. "USA" is inspired by classic American amps of the '60s, delivering sparkling cleans with a solid low end. "UK" is based on a much-loved British Class A amp from the early '60s with plenty of classic medium gain crunch tones. Finally, "Flat" is a neutral preamp with a semi-parametric EQ, ideal for use with external preamps and amp modellers.

Amped 1 also boasts five distinctly different authentic power valve responses - KT88, 6L6, EL34, 6V6, EL84. Each setting delivers the response, dynamics, sag and break-up characteristics of the selected valve power amp.

  1. KT88 - Tight, bold and dynamic Class A/B with strong low-end.
  2. 6L6 - Tight dynamic Class A/B with extended highs and lows.
  3. EL34 - Classic British Class A/B crunch full-bodied soft break-up.
  4. 6V6 - Crisp Class A with high compression and tight mids.
  5. EL84 - Bell-like full-bodied Class A with lots of compression.

On top of these, there is also a Linear setting that offers transparent power amplification. It is optimised for use with the Flat voice setting when pairing the Amped 1 with an external amp modeller.

Other premium features include power reduction (100w, 20w, 1w), 4 channel audio USB for easy recording and universal voltage for use anywhere in the world (from 100V to 240V ~ 50/60Hz). If that wasn't enough, you also get built in studio-quality reverb, an effects loop and full MIDI functionality!

Key Features

  • Power Reduction Switch - Choose from 100w, 20w or 1w to find the perfect balance of power and response for any situation from studio to stage.
  • Response Control - Perfectly captures the sound and characteristics of various different valves, giving you classic American and British amp tones in one box!
  • Cab Rig Software - Blackstar's next-generation DSP speaker simulator reproduces the sound and feel of a mic’d up guitar cab in incredible detail.
  • Low latency USB Audio - Amped 1 can be used as a fully functioning interface for recording, with four channels of audio and XLR D.I. for live use.
  • Pedalboard-Friendly Package - Rarely is something so powerful as Amped 1 this compact! It's sleek design easily fits into a gig bag pocket so you can take your sound anywhere!

Mr Robert Maidment10th Feb 2024

Great tones for a pedal board rig. Takes pre amp pedals amazing with linear and flat power options. The different power amp models are game changer. Over usb I can do wet dry rig and stereo. Also stereo room mic options in the software to really fatten the sound. Reverb isn’t the best but is good for the “always on” hall or room.

This is an excellent Amp and has excelled my expectations. So many options and great sound. Super Lightweight. Great for live and recording. Seems well made and robust. Couldn't ask for more. I have combined it with the Marshall ST112 cabinet and they sound great together.

Mr Jonathan Waller28th Apr 2023

I've only used this for two gigs so far and I'm still tweaking my settings as I go, but it works brilliantly. I bought this to simplify my rock gig set up for when we're either playing quieter gigs or short sets where there isn't much set up time, or I just need to take less equipment. My usual set up is a Victory V40 Duchess into either a Victory 1 x 12 Creamback cab or a Bareface Upsetter 1×10 (which is smaller, much lighter and less directional). Using this with the Bareface cab is a ridiculously small and light rig. The US voice is very clean through its range, although you do get some break up if you set the master high. This means, to get the edge- of-breakup sound I normally use on my Victory, it's easier to use the UK voice and choose from the Valve response settings. For the two gigs I've done so far, I stuck on the US voice and adjusted my pedals accordingly, but I'm still experimenting. It seems to sound and feel great either way. Our sound guy was really impressed with the DI sound. I also do the odd jazz gig and it seems like it will work equally well for those.

very versatile and easy to use, looks sturdy, love the tone with my set up, it is really loud used it twice live and had to keep it a 20watt, with a 4x12 and 2x12. very responsive and true, as i use it with a preamp.

The sound into a speaker cabinet (a Fender Bassbreaker 112 with a Celestion V type speaker was great. As their little slogan says “The sound in your head”. The sound from the XLR DI out socket was no better than my Boss ME70, no matter what cabinet type tweaks I applied, not what I was looking for so I sent it back.

I'm analogue through and through but this amp is unbelievable, it's so close!! While there aren't many cab emulations, the ones that come included are very good for my needs.

Mr A Wee15th Oct 2022

Pedal is a great piece of kit and gives me the sounds that I want to use very quickly. Reverb function is great and I love the freeze effect where stepping on the switch keeps the reverb on. The effect is like seeing your breath on cold air. The sound just hangs there beautifully. Will use it to gig. Can’t say how durable it is yet
