Blackstar Dept. 10 Amped 2 Pedal

The Blackstar Dept. 10 AMPED 2 is a 100-watt guitar amp pedal with integrated multi-effects, combining authentic valve amplifier feel, a professional power amplifier and a complete effects section in one compact unit. It can be used as a standalone guitar amplifier, as a front-end for a traditional amplifier or connected directly to a PA system or recording interface, making it an ideal solution for live performance, studio recording and home practice.

AMPED 2 features a unique high-headroom power amplifier that automatically matches 8 Ω and 16 Ω speaker cabinets to deliver maximum power and optimum tone. The Response control offers three authentic valve power amp responses – EL34, 6L6 and EL84 – accurately recreating the dynamics, compression and feel of classic tube amplifiers.

Three selectable amp voices – USA, UK and Classic – provide a wide tonal palette, while Boost, Drive and Fuzz drive modes cover everything from transparent boost to saturated distortion. Built-in Modulation, Delay and Reverb effects complete a professional all-in-one performance system.

The integrated CabRig™ speaker simulator delivers studio-quality cabinet emulations for direct recording and live use. With the free Architect software, users can customise virtual cabinets and store personalised settings. Professional connectivity includes a USB-C audio interface, TRS stereo line output, XLR mono D.I. output, MIDI, an effects loop, dual 9 V DC outputs for powering pedals and an onboard chromatic tuner. Power Reduction allows the amplifier to be used at reduced output down to 1 watt, making it equally suitable for studio and stage.
