Blackstar AMPED 3 100 Watt Pedal Amplifier
Blackstar AMPED 3 100 Watt Pedal Amplifier
The Blackstar AMPED 3 redefines portable amplification, packing a 100-watt multi-channel high-gain circuit into a stage-ready pedalboard format. Engineered for professional guitarists who require uncompromised high-gain performance and absolute portability, this unit delivers the exact tactile response, sag, and sonic footprint of a traditional valve amplifier.
-
High-Headroom Power Architecture: Utilising a proprietary power amplifier design, the unit delivers its full 100-watt output across both 8-ohm and 16-ohm cabinet configurations. This ensures maximum acoustic headroom and consistent low-end authority regardless of the speaker cabinet choice.
-
Patented Response Control: Rather than employing simple digital equalization curves, the Response control alters the internal dynamics, power sag, and frequency behavior to mirror authentic power valve topologies.
-
Advanced CabRig Simulation: The internal DSP provides precise cabinet, microphone, and room simulations made with proprietary impulse-response technology. Dictate the exact acoustic environment and output high-fidelity signal paths directly via XLR, stereo jack, or USB-C.
The front panel appointments offer immediate access to three distinct voice channels: Clean, Crunch, and Overdrive. Each channel handles complex harmonic content with exceptional fidelity. Utilizing the Blackstar Architect software companion, users can dial in complex parameters, configure the signal path, and store presets directly to the physical hardware for instant recall during live performance.
The physical chassis transitions seamlessly between different performance environments. On stage, it operates as a standalone 100-watt amplifier head or acts as a high-headroom front-end drive section for an existing rig. In the studio, the power attenuation scales the output down to 1 watt, maintaining the core harmonic distortion and power-amp dynamics at low volumes while routing pristine digital audio straight to a digital audio workstation via USB-C.
