For those seeking a compact home studio guitar rig that can easily be brought to gigs, look no further than AMPED 3 from Blackstar, a 100W digital modeling floorboard amplifier with power reduction down to 1 or 20W, and designed to fit snuggly into your pedalboard. The AMPED 3 features six amp voices through the patented ISF tone control knob and three power amp responses (EL84, EL34, and 6L6) across its three footswitched channels (clean, crunch, and overdrive).
The AMPED 3 contains a surprising amount of features for such a compact amp, including built-in clean boosting with routing to either the preamp or power amp, footswitchable reverb with light and dark settings, master volume and presence control, selections for channel voicings, 3-band tone control, and Blackstar s advanced Cab Rig technology that lets you select between three fully mixed guitar rig tones and send the output over USB-C, balanced XLR, or the 1/4 headphones jack. You also get plenty more I/O for handling any scenario, stage or studio, such as a series FX loop, 3.5mm MIDI I/O, 8- or 16-ohm speaker outputs, and two 9 VDC outputs for powering pedals in your board setup. AMPED 3 includes an IEC power cable as well as a built-in tuner.
