 Hi, I'm Alex from Blackstar and I'm here to show you the latest addition to the Ampter Range, the Department 10 Amp3. Amp3 is a 100-watt multi-channel high gain amplifier in a compact pedal format with integrated boost and reverb. The Amp3 features three individual channels. Each channel has two unique voicing options, giving you six preamps in total, ranging from shimmering cleans to modern, tight and aggressive high gain turns. The Amp3 is perfect for the pro player who needs uncompromised tone and maximum versatility, whether they're recording in the studio or playing live. The overdrive channel of the Amp3 is one of the highest gain preamps we've ever developed and is capable of delivering brutal tones, especially when coupled with the integrated boost that drives your sound even further. The Amp3 has been developed with six, seven and eight string guitars in mind, so you can expect crystal clear definition and razor sharp attack that cuts through any mix, even when you're using extreme drop tunings. The high headroom input stage is designed to work with high output guitars and pedal boards, meaning the Amp3 can be the hub of your rig with 9-volt outputs to power your pedals and series and parallel effects loop for maximum integration options. The clean channels are exactly that, crystal clear cleans that are perfect for layering up with effects to create other worldly soundscapes. The crunch channels will take you anywhere from low gain grit right through to mid gain turns, blending itself perfectly to rock, grunge, punk and alternative players who need razor sharp bite and massive sounding calls with clear note separation. The overdrive channels give you all the high gain sounds you need. The OD1 is much more classic and smooth and chunky sounding and the OD2 provides a tighter, modern preamp that will cut through any mix. All of these channels feature our patented ISF control, giving you infinite control over your tone stack, ranging from warmer and woodier on the UK side and tighter, more focused and percussive on the USA side. The stompable boost feature of Amp3 can be selected for a pre or post boost. In the pre position, the boost will add gain to your preamp and in the post position it will provide a clean boost for a bump in overall level. This boost, alongside the 6 preamp options, means you no longer need an additional drive pedal in front of your rig to get these gnarly sounds. The footswitchable reverb on Amp3 features a dark and a light toggle that allows you to select between these two different reverb types and their level. If you want to explore the reverb deeper, simply hook up your Amp3 to the included architect software to access size and tone parameters that can be adjusted and stored on your Amp3. With storable presets for each channel, you can save and recall your favorite clean crunch and overdrive turns with a touch of a button. Or if you prefer, you can use the Amp3 in manual mode and operate it in a what you see is what you get basis. This mode is also ideal for creating sounds to save and store as presets. The Amp3 has been designed and engineered with professional players in mind. It's constructed with a lightweight yet road-worthy metal housing and utilizes a universal power supply, meaning you can use this anywhere in the world. It features built-in MIDI control for endless switching possibilities and cabric output for direct connection to a desk for live or studio use. EL84, EL34 and 6L6 power amp responses, based off our TVP technology, deliver the dynamics, sag and breakup of their analog counterparts. The Amp3 can cover a wide array of tones in any genre and more importantly, give you the sound and feel that you expect when playing live. The Amp3 is now all you need for an all-in-one solution for any circumstance, whether you're using a backline cab or simply handing the front-of-house engineer an XLR, with all of the same precisely tweaked amp and cab sounds used to record your album, the Amp3 has you covered. The pedal output is designed to be used in the front end or the effects return of any amp, giving you another option for playing live or using any backline amp that's presented to you. The USB-C connection can be used with the included architect software to control your cab rig tones and is also a high-quality audio interface, allowing you to use all the same sounds for your live and studio playing. Cabrig, our advanced DSP speaker simulator, is built-in, which overcomes the shortcomings of impulse response snapshots and reproduces the sound and feel of a mic'd up guitar cab in incredible detail. Over 250 cab and mic combinations can be selected and output via Balanced XLR, headphones quarter-inch line output, or multi-channel via USB. The built-in cabrig is ideal to be using with in-ear monitors for the ever more popular silent stage. The Amp3 has universal voltage input, meaning your rig can now travel the world with you, giving you zero compromises of tone wherever you are. Full MIDI control over every parameter of Amp3 gives any MIDI device, such as the LiveLogic MIDI Fill Controller, complete access. All of these features combined make Amp3 incredibly powerful. Let's hear the Amp3 in action.
