100-Watt Amplifier & FX Pedal
Blackstar - AMPED 2

DEPT. 10 AMP PEDAL WITH FXThe Blackstar AMPED 2 is a 100 Watt pedal power amplifier with drive pedals in the front end, and an advanced effects processor, 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 means it’s equally at home in the studio or the stage.
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. Blackstar’s patented Response control offers distinctly different and authentic power valve responses and guitar amp dynamics.
Fine-tune your cabinet, mic, and room simulations with our CabRig technology and output via XLR or stereo jack. Alternatively, connect via USB for effortlessly simple recording to your DAW without the need for an interface. Four studio quality, fully configurable, built-in effects pedals (Drive, Modulation, Delay and Reverb) also provide unparalleled versatility.

Ultimate Convenience Without Compromise

performance ready amp
with multi effectsAMPED 2 is a complete all in one, gig-ready solution for guitarists looking at easily transporting their tone from studio to stage.

switchable power
valve responsesThe response control delivers three distinctly different and authentic power valve responses, each delivering the response, dynamics, sag and break-up characteristics of the selected valve power amp.

professional
connectivityAMPED 2 features pro connectivity and integration into your set up, using low latency USB audio as an interface for recording and an XLR D.I. for live use.

CabRig
softwareCabRig features Blackstar's next-generation DSP speaker simulator that recreates the sound and feel of a mic'd up guitar cab in incredible detail, deep dive into the free Architect software and capture incredible tones using USB/XLR out.

Customizable Effects

Reverb, Delay and Modulation With Freeze/Emphasis EffectThe Reverb type, time and level can be customised on the front panel of the amplifier. The Reverb tone can be customised using Blackstar’s Architect deep-editing software and saved to the Dept. 10 AMPED 2 in place of the default reverb. When the Reverb is active, holding the Reverb footswitch will activate the ‘Freeze’ effect.
The Delay type, time, feedback and level can be customised on the front panel of the amplifier. The Delay pedal can be placed pre or post the Amplifier section using Blackstar’s Architect deep-editing software. The Delay trails can also be turned on or off using Blackstar’s Architect software. When the Delay pedal is active, holding the Delay footswitch will activate the ‘Freeze’ effect.
The Modulation type, time, depth and level can be customised on the front panel of the amplifier. When the Modulation pedal is active, holding the Modulation footswitch will activate an ‘Emphasis’ effect. The current settings of the selected Modulation type will be emphasised, with the result being a more intense effect.
Authentic Valve Amp Feel

Universal VoltageThe unique power amplifier design uses current feedback to replicate a valve amplifiers interaction with a speaker cabinet. This very high headroom design delivers the thump and presence of a valve amp with 100W power, into any speaker cabinet at 8 or 16 Ohms.
Dept 10. AMPED 2 is universal voltage so can be used anywhere in the world from 100V to 240V ~ 50/60Hz. Just stick it in your gigbag and hop on that plane.
