The Blackstar AMPED 3 100 Watt Pedal Multi-Channel Amplifier features one of the highest gain circuits that Blackstar has ever developed and the ability to recall your favorite tones via presets. The AMPED 3 is capable of delivering the tone and feel of traditional valve amps. You can use it in the front end of a traditional amp, power a cabinet at 100 watts, or go direct, ensuring you can take your sound with you anywhere. Power reduction down to 1W and USB-C connectivity ensure it's equally at home in the studio or on the stage.

High Headroom Power Amp Design

The power amplifier's unique, high-headroom design does not compromise on output, even at 16 Ohms. Get maximum power and optimum tone with any cabinet set-up at 8 or 16 Ohms.

Response Control

Blackstar's patented Response Control offers distinctly different and authentic power valve responses and guitar amp dynamics. Response control delivers three distinctly different and authentic power valve responses: EL34, 6L6, and EL84. Each set delivers the response, dynamics, sag, and break-up characteristics of the selected valve power amp.
