Blackstar’s latest iteration of it’s pedalboard-based amp solutions is the Amped 3, which the UK brand says is one of the highest-gain circuits it’s ever produced. Continuing with the Amped chassis design, the Amped 3 includes the same DI/cab-emulated outputs and Architect editing software as the other models in the range, but Amped 3 (aimed at heavier players) swaps the tuner, modulation and delay effects for a thee-channel design with pre/post switchable boost. There’s a 100-watt power amp on-board too, meaning that you can use it via a passive cab, or direct to a powered cab/PA system or recording interface.
