The BluGuitar Amp 1 Smart Guitar Amplifier is designed for professional use onstage and in the studio. The NANOTUBE 100-watt power amp delivers your own tonal palette with the best tube quality and enormous sound pressure levels.
Four versatile modifiable channels will take you on a stunning journey through the history of the guitar amp (from Clean to Vintage to Classic and Modern tones), and AMP1 also features switchable and adjustable Boost and Reverb controls, three integrated footswitches, a truly outstanding Speaker Simulation output for recording, and a headphone output, giving you all the options you would expect from a modern, boutique tube amp.
You can take your AMP1 with you wherever you are – it fits right in your gigbag. It’s incredibly compact and very light. Just to make everything that little bit quicker before and after the gig, AMP1 can be securely attached to (and then removed from) a single handle on your pedal board or amp cab thanks to EASYLOCK – the magnetic attachment system from BluGuitar. With the REMOTE1 floor control, you can build AMP1 into a fully programmable amp system – including adjustable PowerSoak, MASTER, VOLUME (CLEAN CHANNEL), GAIN (OVERDRIVE CHANNELS) and MIDI functions. AMP1 offers you the ultimate in practicality and tonal flexibility.
If you’re a player who needs just two basic sounds, then AMP1 is your perfect match. Should you want more sounds to play with, though, REMOTE1 offers a bunch of extra possibilities. Plus, if you want to integrate your favourite pedals into your AMP1 setup, use the REMOTE1 with the LOOPERKIT to create a fully programmable switching system featuring four true bypass relay loops.
The main features of the BluGuitar Amp 1 Smart Guitar Amplifier include;
- Channels: Four channels. One Clean Channel and three discreet Overdrive Channels.
- Boost: Boosts AMP1’s channels. The character is from transparent to creamy, with adjustable “intrinsic distortion”.
- Nanotube: The Nanotube works in the output stage that gives AMP1 100 Watts of character, punch, and the assertiveness of a large 100-watt tube amp.
- Custom Control: All channels (except Vintage) feature adjustable sound filters with which you can tune their tonal character individually. There’s also a volume controller for each channel.
- Reverb: AMP1’s digital reverb is modelled on a classic spring reverb.
- Noise Gate: Choose between SOFT, OFF or METAL modes.
- Loop: The Effects Loop can be used in serial or parallel mode. The FX Loop Level can also be switched for stompboxes or studio effects.
- Record Out: You can connect to headphones or a mixing desk with this multifunctional port. An elaborate filter circuit simulates the authentic sounds of a genuine guitar amp cabinet.
- Phones: It’s possible to use AMP1 just with headphones. Just don’t connect to a speaker.
- Silent Recording: Direct recording without speakers.
- AC 100-240V: A modern switch-mode power supply constantly delivers the required operating voltage, regardless of network voltage.
- Foot controller: REMOTE1 is designed to be a convenient foot controller for AMP1.
- Second master: A second Master Volume is available through REMOTE1. This is activated by footswitch and controls a range of 10dB.
- Programmable: In connection with REMOTE1 or MIDI1 you can control VOLUME (CLEAN CHANNEL) and GAIN (OVERDRIVE CHANNELS) and save it for each pre-set separately.
- Power Soak: AMP1’s PowerSoak works in a completely new and neutral-sounding way, without any power resistors that produce a lot of heat.
- MIDI: AMP1 can be controlled with other MIDI controllers using the MIDI1 adapter interface.
- Easylock: To attach AMP1 magnetically to a pedal board or cabinet.
