Power and versatility combined
The Artisan 30 features four EL84 tubes operating in Class A, delivering excellent dynamics and rich harmonic response. It supports two operating modes — Pentode (30W) and Triode (10W), selectable via the front panel, making it suitable for both home and stage use.
Channel 1 — EF86 Channel
Channel 1 is based on the EF86 tube and delivers high gain with low noise. It produces a distinctive overdrive character with smooth compression, ideal for studio applications.
Hi and Low inputs accommodate both active and passive pickups, adjusting signal level by approximately ±6dB, and making it pedal-friendly.
Controls include:
• Volume — from low gain to high-gain lead tones
• Tone — shapes the overall brightness
• Bass Shape — 5-position low-frequency selector
Bass Shape positions:
1 — tight tone with minimal low-end
2 — enhanced low mids for added body
3 — balanced mids and lows
4 — deep tone with strong bass
5 — warm “American-style” tone with rich low-end
Channel 2 — ECC83 Channel
Channel 2 is built around an ECC83 tube and blends boutique EL84 character with classic British amp voicing.
It delivers warm, rich tones and fully раскрывает the vintage tube response. Hi/Lo inputs add further flexibility for different guitars.
The Voice control switches between:
• Bright — cutting, articulate tone
• Warm — smooth, full-bodied sound
Control panel includes:
• Gain
• Volume
• Treble, Middle, Bass
Blend channels for your signature tone
A standout feature of the Blackstar Artisan 30H is the ability to blend both channels. This allows players to experiment and craft unique, signature tones.
Use the Hi input for aggressive gain or the Lo input for cleaner tones.
Design and durability
The amplifier features a stylish retro look and a rugged build. The cabinet is made from layered birch plywood with protective aluminum elements.
Red Tolex covering enhances its premium aesthetic. All controls are smooth and built for long-term reliability.
