How so you like the Blackstar? That's one I've been looking at on Reverb & EBAY.
I set it for a clean tone and then use my pedals for my overdriven tones.
Liked it so much I bought the Artisan 30 which is sort of the handwired version.
Don't need both amps.
I'd part with the Artist 30 for what I paid for it: $500 and $100 shipping.Practice cures most tone issues - John Suhr

Why 2-12? Just curious. IMHO 2-12s are way too heavy if you have to move it around and don't really buy much over a 1-12, especially with an open back, but, like I said, that is just my old guy opinion.

I don't play loud though. My amps are rarely above volume 3 and I set them for a clean tone. I use a Klon or a Dover Drive for solos.
For many, many years I've played through two Deluxe Reverb amps (each with one 12 = two 12's) or through two tweed Deluxes (again, each with one 12 = two 12's).
Full agreement on the weight of a single two 12 tube amp though. They can be heavy. 50 lbs. or more.Practice cures most tone issues - John Suhr

I'd spend more on a 1x12 and then buy an extension cab later. It'll be hard to find a decent 2x12 combo for under 400$.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

+1 for the Peavey Classic 50 2x12. More bang-for-the-buck than almost any combo in its power class. The clean channel is stellar, and the drive channel is very usable, if not perfect.Last edited by guitfiddle; 05-14-2020, 02:44 PM.- Tom
