NAMM 2020: Launched in 2014 by German guitarist Thomas Blug, the BluGuitar brand has been behind some truly innovative preamps and speaker emulators. The all-new AMP X combines an all-analog circuit, a 100-watt Nanotube power tube, onboard analog effects including compressor, boost, overdrive, fuzz, tremolo and stereo digital effects like chorus, phaser, flanger, univibe, delay and reverb into one fully programmable, intuitive unit.
It’s the culmination of Blug’s four decades working as a sound designer, incorporating the Neural Analog Nanotube Amp design which he describes as a “virtual soldering iron” to edit and save analog circuit parameters at a component level, with enough power and flexibility to dial in just about any tone imaginable through one lightweight, pedal-sized box.
