AMPED 1 is a professional 100 Watt guitar amp in a compact pedal. It turns any pedalboard, modeller, or multi-effector into a performance ready amp and ensures 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.

Guitarists are looking for innovative solutions to amplify their pedalboards, modellers and new portable ways to ensure they get their sound when gigging or travelling. Blackstar's goal was to create a compact and powerful amp pedal that delivers the response and "feel" of a real guitar amp. It had to easily integrate with pedalboards, work with modellers and fit in a gigbag pocket so you could take it anywhere. The result does all that and so much more.
