BluGuitar Amp1 Iridium Edition 100 Watt

The orginal version of Amp 1 changed the way that people thought about guitar amplification.  The latest BluGuitar AMP1 Iridium Edition provides all the rich and diverse tonal palette of its predecessor, encompassing everything from warm and rounded jazz to mid-heavy metal.  It is a guitarists dream!  And this new model includes 3 discrete overdrive channels.

It has 4 channels, making the amp highly versatile, amazingly detailed and responsive.  You can easily create your own tone, considered to be the holy grail for guitarists.  With revolutionary Nanotube™ technology and fully modifiable channels, the AMP1’s sounds will take you on a journey through the history of guitar amplification. From Clean to Vintage, to Classic and Modern tones the AMP1 is ready to work with any rig and in whichever musical context you wish to use it.

An array of controls including clean volume, overdrive gain, overdrive master, bass, middle, treble, and reverb.  It has 3 integrated footswitches for adjustable boost and reverb and also includes speaker emulation.  It has a simple-to-use interface so you can plug in and play, and sound great, from the first chord
.

• Modern: With its extremely high gain reserves, this channel delivers crystal-clear string separation through a massive low-cut, and the Custom Control TONE knob lets you dial from a “cut thru the mix” solo sound to the typical “maximum brutality” mid scoop.
• Classic: Due to the hard distortion characteristics and the specially tuned bass filter, this channel is percussive and significantly wider and harder in the mid-range than VINTAGE. The mid-range can be shaped by the Custom Control TONE from “Hot Rodded British High Gain” to “German wall of sound“.
• Vintage: Tight and mid-emphasized woody sounds that are transmitted tightly especially using extreme low tunings while delivering creamy mid- range distortion.
• Clean: Massive headroom thanks to the 100 watt power amp and treble reserves, which give even mid-emphasized humbuckers a transparent, sparkling clean sound. Optimal platform for pedals like shimmer reverb, modulation or delay.

To obtain the ultimate punch and attack, many modern tube amps for Metal along side the usual tone control have extra punch and presence controls, that work with the current feedback loop the power amp stage. The AMP1™ IRIDIUM EDITION works with that same current feedback design, which responds to the speaker and the power amp insuring a punch in the low end, that won´t get muddy when its turned up. The same with the highs, keeping a precise attack and bite. The trick with the AMP1™ IRIDIUM EDITION is that “bass” controls both the bass in the preamp and the punch from the current feedback design in the power amp with only the one control. The same with the treble, that is the classic treble of a tone stack AND presence with one control. That makes it even easier to dial in the perfect chug.
