This is the best thing I have demoed for a long long time. I love how nowadays companies can pack so much into a tiny little box. In the case of the AMPED 3, you can pack 3 virtual valve heads, 3 cabs, with reverb, FX loop and 9Volt power to 2 pedals on the plane, all in one package. Yes, please! This would be my live rig. With perhaps a delay in the loop with a couple of modulation FX running alongside, I'd be sorted.
The Blackstar Dept. 10 AMPED 3 is a professional 100w guitar amp in a compact pedal that delivers the response and ‘feel’ of a real guitar amp. Its compact design can be easily integrated into your existing rig. AMPED 3's unique, high-headroom power amp design delivers maximum power and optimum tone with any cab set-up at 8 or 16 Ohms. Better still, AMPED 3 is small enough to carry in your gig bag pocket, allowing you to take your tone with you anywhere!
Authentic Valve Amp Feel
The unique power amplifier design uses current feedback which mimics a valve amplifier's 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.
The reverb type, time, and tone can be customised using Blackstar’s Architect deep-editing software and saved to the Dept. 10 AMPED 3 in place of the default reverb. When the Reverb is active, holding the Reverb footswitch will activate the ‘Freeze’ effect.
Fine-tune your cabinet, mic, and room simulations with our CabRig technology and output via XLR or stereo jack. Or, connect via USB for effortlessly simple recording to your DAW without the need for an interface.
Dept 10. AMPED 3 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.

Thanks for the VH Amsterdam
I have watched dozens of CZcams reviews of the Amped 3 and yours is the very best by far. I really liked your examples of valve responses - and you're the only one to demontrate the reverb freeze function. Excellent stuff...
I've been running the Amped 3 (sometimes direct into my DAW, sometimes through my Marshall return jack, and sometimes both at the same time) with a Tumnus into a Spark Booster - when it calls for it - into the "front" of the Amp pedal. Then I run a Boss delay into a Wampler Ethereal reverb/delay, into a Spark mini through the effects loop. The 2nd Spark gives that nice volume boost for solos. The Marshall DSL40 only has two channels with a shared EQ. The Amped 3 has 3 channels with individual EQs per channel, plus extra options. This Blackstar creation is my new go to setup. Win.
Excellent review and demonstration, Cameron, and great playing, as always 🎸🎶
Your playing has become world class. Great review!
A couple note choices in that opening run made my whole soul smile and put an actual stupid grin on my stupid face.
You’re such a clean, classy, and articulate player.
Took home an SA-126 last night.
Phenomenal guitar. Phenomenal. Get your mitts on one asap.
This is by far my favorite lighting and setting you do. Enjoyed your playing as always.
Awesome, thank you!
*I like that it sounds organic. Usually… solid states tend to add a ton of fizz to gain but this still sounds like real tubes. 🎥🎶🎸🏆 I loved the TVP60 by Blackstar and considered the Silverline head but now I’m ordering this!*
I'm so happy Blackstar has gone down this path. I've been a Blackstar fan from the first HT series amp I owned. I always said that Blackstar is the company Marshal should have grown up and become. Solid gear, straight forward to use, sounds just great, no need for "fancy". This little pedal plus a Plethora or H9 in the loop and you are absolutely laughing!
I’m glad you made this video before I purchased the wrong thing!
Thanks for the well-explained and easy to understand review, Cameron! 😀
Very cool amp in a pedal format. Great form factor and seems very intuitive even without the software. Nice sounds you got out of it too Cam.
Excellent presentation, great product again and the playing was awesome
You playing Amsterdam puts a huge smile on my face!!! You are a first class young man! Don't consume much YT these days but always enjoy your content! Makes me wanna get a better guitarist 🙏🏻
Awesome playing and I really like that pedal thanks for posting
A very nice pedal, Cameron! Good playing as always, very hot guitar tone!
awesome demo. great playing on a wide range of styles. very natural tone. impressive piece of tech.
That is incredible!!! I had the Blackstar Amped 1 didn't think it was that great and returned it....now I just found a replacement that's so much better!! Excellent playing btw your a really outstanding guitar player it's no wonder blackstar gave you this to review! :) Great job playing Amsterdam!! What a awesome riff that is!! EVH was and is still the best!!!!!!
What a detailed assessment!Thanks for your sharing❤
This pedal looks very nice! Sounds great too! Very cool!
THIS IS CRAZY! And it's a power head and powers pedals?!?! GETTING IT! Thanks Cameron for a great video!
great review, i ordered one -can't wait to try it out . ty
cool product review excellent playing sounded awesome
very nice review Cameron. What a nice piece of kit. only problem is every time I watch you review something I want to buy it. Look forward to the next buddy appreciate it.
Loved the vai/gash part
When you stop to think about it, it’s crazy how far things have progressed, I still love my Blackstar series one 50w head but appreciate and respect the innovation that comes from Blackstar
Great video!
I’m surprised they didn’t add a delay effect in this , but it sounds great and I see them listed for $599.00 so far . That’s not bad . Nice demo
The Amped2 has delay modulation and reverb. less gain though. Just buy the effects you want an run them through the effects loop. If you really want a device this size but with effects save up for a quad cortex.
Would love to hear you do another demo of this to demonstrate how well it works with pedals in front and in the loop.
Brilliant demo just got mine today through headphones it sounds mega but through a cab evh 5150 it lacks gain on the crunch channel s and overdrive even with different gain stages anyone had issues running straight to a cab 😊
Amazing how far modellers have come! The only unfortunate part is that because it’s a computer, it’ll become obsolete pretty quickly and get replaced with something better within a few years which inevitably kills the resale price. It’s really the only place a tube amp still wins hands down. That said, if you’re looking for a music making tool that is lightweight and portable, and selling it down the road isn’t a primary consideration, these are awesome in the studio and on the stage! Love the power tube selection!
I agree 100%. If you look at a 2000 year old chair from Rome and and a chair from today...they look the same. Because there is not chip in it. Anything with a chip will be obsolete within a few months!
You can choose to no be part of the endless cycle of new models.
Not like what you have still stop working suddenly just because new models came out.
Modelers have reached a point where any new models won’t have drastic difference in sound quality and improvements will be more to do with features and interface.
No real reason to upgrade unless you must have the latest.
I know people still using Boss GT-8
@@gypsycat619 I’m not sure you’ve understood what I’m saying here… allow me to rephrase: “This modeller is great at everything, but don’t buy it because you plan to sell it later - buy it to make music!”. Does that help?
That's ok, because you can just hold on to it for 20 more years until it becomes 'vintage'. :)
Except this isn't a modeler. It's a solid state amp. Very different and far superior to a modeling amp.
Love those Jake licks!!
Ive always liked backstair im very interested in this pedal I am a new subscriber
Great review. Amazing how the pedals are getting more portable and packed with more good stuff.
Did it give you the same excitement as when you first got the thr?
Blackstar has been stepping up their game for those of us recording at home.
Stepping up in general
Oh my goodness, that's badass ❤
Looks like the ultimate fly rig? I like the fact there is no electronic display or menus to get lost in.
Me too
I have just the mini fly 3 and it honestly sounds so good I’m considering this amped 3. I think black star knows what they are doing.
Yeah they totally ripped off the bluguitar amp1 design apparently
I just may have to pick this up and it could very well replace my THR30ii? Clever piece for sure. Reminds me a bit of the Mesa Boogie Roadster combo I had years ago, this is like in a micro version of it with how it's set up. Thank you Cameron!!
You are suffering from gas. Keep your THR and practice more.
@@thomasanderson9202 LMAO
@@scootersays Hey I am just like you so 😄
hey man great playing and nice sounds and features, but how we comparing these unit with Two notes Revolt, its sounds amazing too
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the Amped 2, I have one and Love it, Love it, Love it! It looks like Amped 2 has some features that Amped 3 does not, including a foot switch for Modulation effects, and another one for Delay effects, and also an LCD display that shows you the exact value of any of the controls as you adjust them, which I would prefer over just an LED that lights when you pass by the previous setting. Be sure to check out the Amped 2… because I cannot say enough good things about it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I demoed amped 2. But I shot this video months before I got my hands on AMPED 2
@@CameronCooper Ahhh.. I see. But 3 does look very cool. And I like how you can save the setup for each of the different amp channels. This is the one thing that I believe is missing on #2. You can control some of the settings with Midi... I haven't gotten that far yet in experimenting. Hopefully... Blackstar will improve Amped 2 with memory slots, so you can recall them... even via midi would be Ok.
Thatz a Hell Yah Control panel 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎬
Damn, when you went into Amsterdam 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Hauling one modeling amp makes more sense than the Amp3 and a cab IMHO. Great demo and playing. 👍
Who says you always need a cab with AMPED 3? You could always go direct.
People are wondering why I am not comparing this to AMPED 2. Simple fact is, I recorded this video in December 2022 long before AMPED 2 was released.
Woah! What is that tele Cam? Very tasty :) Pedal very cool too :)
I will say, it really matters what speaker your running this through. I ran it through a 2x12 vert Blackstar cab with some rando Celestion speakers and thought it sounded a little cheap, not bad, but cheap. Ran it through a 1x12 mesa cab it blew my fucking brains out. This thing absolutely RIPS. The cleans are amazing, the crunch bites harder than a Pitbull dreaming about children, and the Overdrive would make a Mazda 787B blush. Serious contender for anyone in the market for a 3 channel amp that doesn't weigh 75 pounds.
Had no idea about the reverb latch mode, I should read the destructions next time. Killer review and killer playing!
Some of your playing reminds me of Blues Saraceno :)
What about noise/hiss? Does this need a noise gate to be usable?
Did you use interal IR's only for the demo?
Lovely
VERY tempted by this! Does it need a cab, or can you just go direct into a mixer?
You can go direct to a mixer
❤❤❤❤,love it
Love those Rhoads licks! And the product is amazing
Actually, I"m pretty sure that was the Jake E Lee live version of I Don't Know, or parts of Jakes version. Very cool!!
Your Yamaha is calling you. Great playing. I think your Yamaha is your thing though.
Gotta love tube amp fan boys😂😂 (I have 3 BTW) Ty Tabor has one of the best phattest lead, rock rhythm tones ever recorded and played live. He only has used SS amp for years!No one has EVER accused him of having a bad, thin tone!🤓🤪
it looks absolutely great, BUT i am still worried that the sounds will sound too digital and flat and not as good as a valve amp, is it worth compromising for convenience, i'm not sure.
Great Video Cam !! And Great Licks at the end !! Other than my Wife getting pissed at me , I guess I have no more reasons to keep my Line 6PODXT . I want this new Blackstar sooooo bad . And I've never had a piece of gear with a built in Power Amp . That has to be so convenient .
Hope you're doing well and staying safe , Cam . Cheers 🎸
Hi Cameron,
Just wondering why you didn't mention anything in comparison to the Blackstar amp 2 that you reviewed not too long ago and wondering why you might recommend the amps 3 over the amp 2, if at all?
Amazing playing as always ~ I'm always inspired by watching your videos thank you!
I shot this video long before I got my hands on AMPED 2 so couldn't compare
@@CameronCooper now that you've played both you have an opinion on one being better than the other? If you could only have one which one would you choose?
Thanks!
@@rocknrebb I choose AMPED 3. Suits my style more than AMPED 2
Hi,
I cannot decide between this and the new debut 50r from Blackstar. What do you think. Have you played the 50r?
Great Video. Thanks
The Amped3 is the choice, bro. I work for a big music store and we carry Blackstar. I have a Blackstar Kentucky Special and I'm trading it back in for this. No contest.
In another review it is said that the reverb settings are not stored within each channel-preset. Other than that this seems to be a cool unit.
Yes that's right
I definitely commented this on the amped-1 video, but... Marshall code series! How does this compare in your opinion? I've been able to get some freakishly accurate recreations of tones from the code 50
I've got the Marshall Code 25 combo and think it sounds great but thought it was a nightmare to record and do it justice hence why a video has never appeared
if you click crunch twice will it switch between crunch and super crunch? be cool if you could keep pressing the same button and have it switch between the 2 settings.
I don't know on that one. Will have to get back to you on that
9:40 FUCK YES! hahaha Love it.
I feel really dumb because it's right on the tip of my tongue, but what is that?
Hey Cameron, are you still using the settings you showed on the EVH tone Amped 3 video from a few months back? If not, could you note what's changed? Thanks!
Nothing's changed that i can remember.
@@CameronCooper Thanks, Cameron! Great tones.
I’d prefer the FX loop to be switchable with trails. I don’t use reverb. But I do like to be able to punch my FX in and out.
Do you prefer the gain sound on this amp OR a 5150 overdrive pedal into something like the Hugh’s & kettner StompMan on the clean channel?
I prefer this. Life's way easier
@@CameronCooper So this one is that good huh?
Is there much hiss or noise? Or would you need a noise gate pedal?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’d say anything you plug into it’s gonna sound great no matter what . Your playing makes it that way . Rock on !!
I appreciate that, thank you!
What would be the benefit of to opt for III instead of II? To me III has less effects so what would be the reason to opt for III?
3 has the more traditional layout of individual channel selection, replacing effects which could be powered by the build 9V power out if you should need them. I don't need them so I much prefer having this layout and more tonal options
Also, how effective is it if you just went directly into a PA system?
It would sound like what you're hearing this video, this was recorded direct
Will it drive a cab loud enough to keep up with a drummer?
It's 100 Watts! Yes
A real valve like the dept. 10 Dual Distortion would make this thing perfect.
Hi . Hope you're doing well . Could you please explain your Comment for me ? Is the Dept . 10 a Tube Preamp of some type ? If that's what you're talking about , it would make perfect sense . Having the built in Solid State Power Amp flowing through a Tube Processor of some kind would definitely give the AMPED 3 a more organic tone .
If , in fact , that was even what you were referring to . 🎸😀🎸
After rereading your Comment , now I'm thinking you were talking about an
O. D. Pedal or a Distortion Pedal .
amped 2 or 3? which is the better purchase
Comes down to how much you value on board effects. I prefer amped 3 because you have the ability to change channels and the 9V allows you to power a couple of pedals
The amped2 doesn't have the gain that the amped3 has but it has a few effects built in. IMO buy the effects you like and run them through the effects loop.
Wow
Where you playing nickelback? Thats hilarious. From Amsterdam to Nicleback go figure lol
I play what I like and mostly bored of playing the same old 80s stuff over and over including Van Halen
They should make a 10 Band EQ version of this.
Nah, that too much work and over complicates it and would drive up the cost. Go out and buy the eq you want and run that into it.
@@guitaristforfunn you're right
Does this unit have noise gate ?
I think so, can't remember off the top of my head
@@CameronCooper I’ve been searching and searching and can’t find the info
I think there is one but it's only accessible in the architect software
No delay ?....seems a bit light on clean sounds demo ...is this basically for overdrive nerds?
It does clean just fine and has loads of variations inside once you get into the software. I prefer not to be on clean for too long in my demos because it's not what people visit my channel for. It would be cool if a delay was built in
Sounds like has some balls to it
It really does. When I got into the archetype software, I was blown away by what this could do
Did I miss you demonstrating the clean sound. Or did you miss it out. That for me is the most important as the gain stuff Is always similar to your pedals.
You missed it. 6:16 I demonstrate a little bit.
What scale patterns do you use when playing
I use loads watch one of my recent titled 'The Fastest Way I Learned To Shred'
You did not just slip a Nickelback riff in there 😂
Well, sort of. Don't see why not. Sick of playing the same old stuff all the time
Hey what are they scared of ?running out of Tubes Maybe 🤔
If you feel more comfortable with a tube amp, stick with a tube amp. R.I.P. to your wallet and your back though.
Fuck!! It sounds amazing!! 🔥🤘🏻 How much does this cost??
What string gauge do you use and which brand?? 😄🤘🏻
Google the AMPED 3 price will vary. I use Elixir Optiweb 09-42
This will power a 4-12 cabinet?
@@plumpoctave1532 Yes. Watch the video
the fuck.. they just released the amped 2
Amped3 is where it's at. it doesn't have effects like the amped2, but the amped2 doesn't have the gain like the amped3. The way to go IMO (I've played all 3) is to get the Amped3 and any effects you want buy them separately and run the through the effects loop.
Sounds great with your playing but too digital sounding it's just flat and metallic sounding does have a slo type evh tone but just digital
I'll make an EVH preset for it
If you paid attention, you'll notice I played EVH in this vid :)
Your playing is always fantastic!I love the Yamaha thr stuff and your tribute to EVH !
The Yamaha technology does sound better than blackstar I think but it's not horrible either
It's difficult to imagine the words amazing, and Blackstar in the same sentence.
An opinion like that can only come from a fearful traditionalist but each to their own I suppose.
@@CameronCooper -Blackstar just sucks. No fear involved.
@@dotconnector76 nahh they're great!
@Dot Connector They suck so much they've created an incredibly successful and innovative company. If only we all sucked that much!!
Said same sht about Yanahas rhr stuff. All these "influencers" opinions are directly proportionate to their paychecks
Travis, if you watched my videos, you'd know I don't promote anybody and everybody. I actually use what I promote, and if I'm paid for it even better. Out of 500+ videos on this channel, I've only done about a dozen paid sponsorships ever. I have used the AMPED 3 with the THR30ii together for every video since I got it because it was a product I was waiting for for a long time because it's perfect for what I do. And before then, I solely used the Yamaha THR amps. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have made a video on it in the first place. I would have simply sent it back and kept my mouth shut. You're right to be sceptical in this day and age but you're wrong to channel your feelings towards me in this scenario.
Also, I already owned and used Blackstar and Yamaha products years before I was ever contacted by the brands to do videos.
Now that you've been informed, in future please don't comment about me on my videos when you don't know what you're on about.
Paid shills😢
I use the AMPED 3 in every video Shane. I don't need paying to say how good this product is for what I do. If you watched me or this channel you would know I hardly do any paid sponsored videos at all. I don't promote anybody who's anybody. I promote the stuff I like. Out of over 500 videos on this channel, under 30 of those are sponsored. I hope this clarifies things. 👍🏻
hi Cameron, does it have a headphone output? Is the sound through headphones acceptable?
Yes and yes. I point it out in the video.
@@CameronCooper I'm sorry but I don't speak English very well but I still watched your videos because you are an excellent guitarist and I really like following you
so they bring out a amped 3... no delay or modulation... no fuzz.. no tuner... liked on the amped 2... what am i missing?
Can you run a cab onstage and still use the main out for FOH?
Yes if you wanted
So.... how much.....
?????
Maybe.... Google it????
@@CameronCooper LMAOOOOO. I hate that shit. In the same time it took to type out " hOw MuCh DoEs iT CoSt!?!?" he could have, as you stated it, easily googled it XD. awesome review.
NO MIDI OUT??
It does have MIDI
