BluGuitar Amp1 Mercury Edition

I’m totally in love with this amp. I've been after Marshall tones for a while and finally decided to buy the Amp1. I've been researching 'Marshall in a box' pedals for a few months but ultimately decided that I'd rather just have a full amp to keep things simple.

It's definitely a bright amp, but I read about the bright cap behaviour and I'm finding it pretty manageable with the treble knob at 3-ish (and the custom controls at half-way or below). Playing with a strat-style guitar (EBMM Cutlass) this thing screams.

My little rig includes the Amp1 ME, my Barefaced 1x12 cab with Neo Creamback and a Strymon Volante. That's it.

I'm so happy with this thing that I want to write Thomas Blug a thank-you letter.

Why lug a huge amp head around when you can purchase one of these. Thomas Blug is a genius and going to revolutionize the design of future amps and convienience.

I love the tones of this nano-tube amp and the channels you can choice between. The FX loop works perfectly with my FX unit .

The three overdrive sounds cover the full gamut of vintage, classic and modern distortion, from 60s Marshall Plexi crunch to the thick harmonic filth demanded for modern metal.

Flexibility aside, the Amp 1’s valve-driven 100-watt power amp is still its biggest attribute: plugged into a good 4x12 it sounds huge, with all the dynamic response you’d expect from valves and volume to spare. It’s almost unreal to hear so much tone coming from a package weighing just over a kilo.

A stellar amplifier in a portable, convenient, versatile format.
I've owned modelers, multi effects units and I still own a couple of valve heads. This thing is unbelievable. It delivers authentic Marshall style tones and Fender-esque cleans in a convenient, portable and ultra versatile format that honestly can't be beaten.
There is plenty of power and functionality you can use to adapt the AMP1 to any venue or occasion you throw it at, and it always delivers an outstanding sound. It is an essential part of my portable rig and after a few months of usage I didn't have a single glitch. One of the best purchases I ever did in guitar amplification.
