Features
Since our launch in 2007, Blackstar has led the way in the innovation of guitar
amplification. The Dept.10 AMPED 2 represents the culmination of years of technical
research and development. AMPED 2 has an intuitive control set like a traditional
amp, but the versatility of programmability and Pro Digital Technology.
AMPED 2 is a 100W, no compromise guitar amplifier and advanced effects
processor pedal capable of delivering the tone and feel of traditional valve amps.
The USA and UK Voices offer two of the most revered and popular platforms for
pedals and effects, with a beloved hot-rodded bite provided by the Classic Voice.
In combination with the four studio quality, fully configurable, built-in effects pedals
(Drive, Modulation, Delay and Reverb) your AMPED 2 gives you unparalleled
versatility. But it doesn’t end there; MIDI control, 9V isolated pedal power
outputs and a fully featured FX loop make your AMPED 2 the ever-expandable hub
for your pedalboard.
Via the Response control, AMPED 2 offers three distinctly different power valve
responses. The power valve responses (EL84, EL34, 6L6) deliver the dynamics,
sag and break up characteristics of their analogue counterparts. On top of this, all
tones crafted on your AMPED 2 are capable of being delivered with 100W of power
at either 8 or 16 ohms, giving you the power to fill any venue.
CabRig is Blackstar’s next-generation DSP speaker simulator and creates a
fundamental shift in the accessibility of professional recording and performing.
CabRig awards musicians the ability to access previously unattainable technology,
that has long been reserved for professional sound engineers and producers.
The CabRig outputs enable you to get the sound in your head from any speaker
including headphones, studio monitors and front of house. AMPED 2 can also be
used as an audio interface, recording the same tones you use live straight into your
computer via USB-C.
