General

The innovative AMP1 is a guitar amp head in stompbox format that you can use on top of your speaker cabinet as well as on the ground. It offers a wide palette of professional sounds that range from jazz to metal. Thanks to the Nanotube 100-watt power amp, you get plenty of sounds to work with that offer top-notch tube quality and sound pressure. Nanotubes also last a lot longer than conventional tubes, which means maintaining the AMP1 is a breeze. Its compact size makes it easy to fit in your gig bag or mount on your pedal board. The functionality of this AMP1 can be expanded upon by the corresponding REMOTE1 by BluGuitar (sold separately).

Switchable, controllable channels, boost and reverb

As well as four controllable channels (clean, vintage, classic and modern), this amp also features a switchable, adjustable boost and reverb. All of these elements can be controlled using three integrated foot switches. You can easily change the basic settings using the rotary knobs on the top of the pedal. It's also equipped with six knobs for fine-tuning so you can achieve your own optimal sound. If you prefer to use the AMP1 on top of your speaker cabinet, you can connect the foot switch to it.

Effects loop and noise gate

The AMP1 was designed to sound and react just like an authentic tube amp, and it works perfectly with your effects pedals too. You can connect your pedals in the traditional way, between your guitar and your amp, or you can hook them up to the built-in effects loop, which can be switched from parallel to series. With a button at the bottom, you can set the effects loop anywhere between +10dB and -4dB. To keep your signal free from noise and feedback, the AMP1 also features an integrated noise gate with various options. For guitarists who want even more sounds and switching options, BluGuitar also offers the Remote1 (sold separately).

Your very own sound

With the AMP1, you can save your favourite settings as a preset and switch between them using the three foot switches. It can be hooked up to 8 and 16-ohm speaker cabinets, is equipped with a good speaker simulation output for studio recording purposes, and has a headphone output too. It functions on power networks of 100 to 240 volts, which means you can use it just about anywhere. If you're in the market for an amp that's easy to transport, and versatile enough for any kind of music, then the AMP1 is the amp for you!

Great service, arrived on time. The Amp1 sounds great, with a good player feel and tone, and some natural compression, sag in valve amp terms. I compared it with a Suhr Badger and Victory V40 Deluxe valve amps. I think the clean sound is more Dumble than Fender, very smooth - with the mid range eq being very effective on tone changes. There is plenty of volume, and good high end without harshness. It also takes pedals very well

Geweldige veelzijdige buizen amp met tal van mogelijkheden qua sound en aansluitingen en dit alles ook nog analog.
Daar zijn heel veel gitaar modeling-producten op de markt maar ik ben er nog niet één tegen gekomen die beter is dan de Bluguitar amp1 mercury!
Voor mij geen zware buienamps van 15 kg of meer sjouwen.
Echt een TOP Versterker!

Zeer blij met deze aankoop. Ik heb de overstap gemaakt van een Marhall JVM naar dit platform en hij valt beslist niet tegen. Op huiskamerniveau net zo bruikbaar als op het podium, mooie clean en Marshall drive en distortion. Klinkt ook niet zo digitaal maar meer organisch zoals een buizenamp met compressie. Neemt pedals prima, ook via de effectloop. Altijd je eigen sound in een gigbag onder alle omstandigheden! 4 sterren omdat voor de bediening een extra footswtich nodig is en te kleine knoppen voor tuning aan de zijkant.

Ik was eerst een beetje sceptisch over deze versterker, maar verbluffend en imo een aanrader! Ik ben zeer content over de sounds die uit deze AMP1 mercury edition zijn te halen. Voor mij als fan van classic rock, hard rock en heavy metal is dit meer dan voldoende en erg veelzijdig. En lekker makkelijk om mee te nemen.

Als je echt (super) zware metal (7 en 8 string) speelt, dan zou ik eerder voor de Iridium Edition gaan. Dat krijg je hier dan weer niet uit. Maar probeer ze naast elkaar en maak je keuze.

De behuizing is een stevige constructie, ideaal op het pedalboard en de bediening is simpel. Wel vind ik de versterker alleen te beperkt qua bediening. Maar de Remote1 is een perfecte aanvulling op deze amp voor de bediening en het programmeren van presets (doen ze commercieel wel goed bij Bluguitar!)
Mijn tip: bestel 'm als setje om de veelzijdige sounds ook makkelijk te gebruiken!!!

NAMM 2016: Extra Small and Extra Low With Peavey's 6505 Series

The Peavey 6505 series is widely acclaimed, but apparently the amp manufacturer still felt something was missing from the lineup. That's why they've added two new products to the range. One is called the Piranha Micro Head, a 20W hybrid top that can practically fit into your jacket pocket. The other is the Guitar Subwoofer, a cabinet with an 18" speaker and 300 watts of power to beef up the low end. Together, they're a great pair.
