I can see these things being invaluable to local gigging musicians. Almost all of the venues around me have cabinets as part of the in house equipment or you can go straight into the PA so being able to turn up with just a pedal board case and your instrument is an absolute win

You're demo compositions are better written than 90% of everything out there. I'm jealous.

Hi Pete, great demo. I purchased an Amped2 from the guitar show in the U.K. I was fortunate enough to spend some time with James and Steve from Blackstar who showed me some of the awesome features in this pedal. An example. The delay and reverb pedals-if you hold your foot down on them it goes into a ‘freeze’ mode which intensifies the effect going into self oscillation! As soon as you release the pedal it’s back to normal! Great nuance effects. Also a lot of the controls do more than one thing. If you turn the level up on the mod pedal on certain effects it will change. I.e one of them changes into an optical trem effect past 12 on the level. Really cool Hendrix vibey style effect. There are other click and hold variations in the controls too. I use a MIDI switcher which makes it like a multi effects as pretty much any parameter can be MIDI controlled. I love my Amped2 and use it so much.

Pete, it's amazing what you can do with & without pedals. As always, the playing is amazing!!

[chocobloc]

That climax at 1:16 - I've heard it more than 20 times now, it's still causing me to tears. Brilliant!!!

[aaaargl]

the R.A.T.T. influence was showing during the heavy riffs. loved the musicality you got out of the pedal

[pedraw]

I always enjoy the way you do demos. The music created for these never disappoints. This stuff gets better and better.

[blakjack]

The best demo of this unit on the tube!

[tooofart]

I come here for the opening groove, I stay for the review. Awesome as usual, it's incredible to see everything that's available to musicians nowadays.

I've always loved fly rig types of pedals, or even small modelers like the HeadRush mx5. I have a first generation Blackstar ht50 head that I love. Smoothest gain I've ever heard plugged straight into without any pedals.

Sweet Demo Pete!! So entertaining and just watching and hearing our playing. Great tones from that Amp in a box!!

[beachcomber]

It is amazing watching you put these demo's together. The 80's tones were just dripping and ripping out of that little red box and that Suhr reg guitar!! As always, INSPIRING to behold.

[harleyhexxe]

That looks like a pretty cool fly rig. Sounds pretty good too!
As always, you're playing is right on the money. Thanks for posting this!

[jcon]

I agree your demo compositions are always amazing your always an inspiration and a power of example.... keep on keeping on Pete !

[robertsimpson]

Good grief!!!! The precision in those fingers!! LOVE IT

13:47 I occasionally use the old "pan the whole DAW mix to one speaker, pan the recording/feedback guitar to the other" It's a cheap and cheerful low effort option for getting feedback in a wee studio without mics on cabs etc.

[mandyoberle]

your demos are simply oustanding Pete ! Absolutely amazing in sound and playing ! Chapeau !! ;-)

[mykneeshurt]

If I played gigs or played out somewhere, this would be killer. Amp and pedal board in one small and light package. Killer demo!

[alejandroaguilar]

Round and Round!🎵 Sounds killer, as always.

[donadams]

This is pretty much what I have been waiting for ever since digital amps and modelers came out. Versatile, sounds great, simple interface. Just sold my AX8, got one of these on the way.
