With the AMP1 Iridium Edition, BluGuitar introduces a modern-metal-voiced pedalboard amp. In cooperation with experienced, international metal guitarists, BluGuitar founder and professional guitarist Thomas Blug has developed this amp from the ground up and, unlike the AMP1 Mercury Edition, he voiced it uncompromisingly toward modern metal.

Three independent, discrete Overdrive channels deliver rich and tight distortion sounds that can be changed in gain structure and timbre. Each of these channels offers different attack, response and dynamics. The Clean channel with its massive headroom and treble reserves gives even mid-heavy humbuckers transparent, sparkling clean sounds.

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 midrange 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 Thomas is the intellectual creator of tube-driven pedal amps. He started developing products for well-known manufacturers in the early 1990s, some of which today are regarded as the milestones of true tube pedals. Both the AMP1 Mercury Edition and the AMP1 Iridium Edition are the results of this unique expertise.
