BluGuitar: Amp1

This is indeed a welcomed addition to the amplifier universe- BluGuitar's Amp 1. Showcased at the recent Musikmesse 2014, it's developed by Thomas Blug (hence the BluGuitar there if you missed it) & it's every bit an amp even if it lies flat on the floor.

But a closer look reveals the fact that the under arch there makes way for a typical speaker cab handle. So the message is clear; this is an amp, it needs a speaker cab. If you keep looking at it, you'd be further driven into disbelief- this is an amp? Yes, it churns out a 100W of Class D tube goodness, feeds into an 8/16 ohm speaker cab, has a built in noise gate, FX loop- the works. Coming from the lad who helped in the tinkering of H&K amps, it's something to look forward to. It's definitely aimed at players who prefer their tones to come from an amp as opposed to an effects unit/ pedals because many of us know what an amp offers in terms of plug-in chemistry. Hear from Mr. Blug himself:
