I've yet to play any of the Blackstar artisan amps

Re: Anyways...for all who loves British big tones

They're hand-wired P2P if I recall correctly. Have been curious about them, but have yet to see one in my neck of the woods. Just the lower-grade Blackstars. Not overly impressed with those. Saturated, sterile, uninspired tone to my ears.

I played an Artisan 30, and it was phenomenal. Huge sounding, touch sensitive, versatile. But boy, oh boy was it heavy.

I saw Ian Hunter and The Rant Band in September. Ian and James Mastro were playing Artisan combos. Mark Bosch had an Artisan head and cab. They all sounded excellent!

Yes, I bet those combos are heavy - two Vintage 30s, heavy magnets. I tried putting a pair of G12H-30s in my old Marshall 2104 combo a while back. Could barely lift it - had to take 'em out!

my series one 104el34 head is pretty heavy too. I think it's about 60 pounds or so.

The old 15 watt head and 2x12cab are little monsters as well.
I am still puzzled by the switch to Chinese manufactuers instead of the Korean one, the new ones looks like counterfeits...haha and sounds like that as well.
The 100 head into its matching 4x12 cab on 4ohm is just heaven......

I've been looking at this 15w on Craigslist, but spending $900 on yet another amp isn't in the cards. I still want it though. hehe

Those little 15 combos when paired with good tubes, totally old school tones in spades!
