Blackstar Artist 10 AE tube guitar amplifier combo
Product no: 9000-0036-4208 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

To celebrate their ten-year anniversary, Blackstar offers the Artisan 10 AE tube amp combo with 10 watts of power and a 6L6 in the power amp. It also features a built-in HT-Drive for ultimate shredding as well as crystal-clear cleans, which means it's ideal for use with effects pedals. This amp basically has one channel, but fortunately is equipped with a built-in overdrive modelled after Blackstar's own HT-Drive. There's also a reverb available for that little bit extra in your sound.

Artist 10 AE: complete combo

Normally, compact tube amps like this one are limited in terms of functionality and connection options, but Blackstar have provided the Artist 10 AE with plenty of both. It comes with a 1-button footswitch to turn the built-in overdrive on and off, and if you want to control the reverb with your foot as well, simply hook up a 2-button footswitch (not included) and you're good to go. Furthermore, you've got an emulated line-out, an effects loop and a number of speaker connection options at your disposal. The Blackstar Artist 10 AE is a fully-fledged tube amp combo that's great value for money!

Wrote the following about Blackstar Artist 10 AE tube guitar amplifier combo

Blackstar heeft een leuke amp uitgebracht met deze Artist, ze hebben voor hun 10 jarig jubileum een 10 watt amp met een 12" speaker gemaakt en gelukkig niet met een 10" speaker!! de gebruikte speaker is echter een Celestion 70/80 die vrij kleurloos is. de Artist is echter een vrij 1voudige amp dus ff een speaker wisselen is geen probleem, heb er eerst een Vintage30 in gezet, klonk een heel stuk voller maar de liefhebber van deze sound zal waarschijnlijk de Artisan 10 kopen. de Artist is meer gericht op de USA / Fender sound dus heb ik er daarna een Jensen C12N in gezet die o.a. ook in de Blues Jr. zit en dit bleek een goede keuze, klinkt nu echt goed naar mijn idee.
de amp is vrij 1voudig kwa opzet, volume, tone, gain en reverb. verder nog een gain boost knop en een effect loop. meer heb je eigenlijk ook niet nodig voor thuis, oefenruimte of kroeg. hij doet het goed met pedalen, ik gebruik niet zo veel pedalen maar wel handig om je amp thuis op laag volume meer crunch te kunnen geven zonder de buren gek te maken zodat je de gain boost knop niet hoeft te gebruiken om toch een vette sound te krijgen.
wat wel tegenvalt is de reverb, klinkt nergens na, gebruik deze dan ook niet meer, heb er een reverb/delay pedaal voor gezet, werkt nu wel goed.

het is dus ff zoeken naar je geluid, mischien voor jouw al helemaal goed maar aanpassen is makkelijk en effectief. geen super amp maar voor een kleine laag wattage amp een prima ding. voor mij was dus de keuze van de speaker en slechte reverb de reden dat ik 4 sterren geef ipv 5.

heb hem overigens hier bij Bax gekocht, zag hem ergens anders goedkoper, dit doorgegeven aan Bax en kreeg hem ook voor die iets goedkopere prijs, hulde!!

Autumnal Offerings from Fender

Wednesday 28 October 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Whether you've already started thinking about your Christmas shopping list or not, Fender has one or two items you might want to add to it. Guitarists can choose from a Special Edition Standard Stratocaster Black MN, aChampion 100 Snow White amplifier combo, or even a Rustler six-string Banjo! Please note that the guitar and the amplifier are strictly limited editions, so if you want one, you'll have to act quickly.

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

The VOX VTX Series - Evolution Accelerated

Wednesday 4 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

It's already been more than 10 years since VOX turned the amplifier world on its head with the Valvetronix series. This series of amps combined digital modelling technology with convincing tube sounds. Since then, models have slowly but steadily improved along with digital technology. Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.

Mesa Boogie now introduces, alongside the Mark Five Twenty-Five, the Mark Five Thirty-Five!

This amp, preceded by the Nomad, Mini Rectifier Twenty-Five and the Caliber, has been released onto Mesa's mini platform in a combo as well as a head version.

Wednesday 20 January 2016 By Lizanne

Renowned instrument colossus Roland first introduced their Blues Cube amplifiers back in the 1990's. The idea was simply to program a transistor amp to sound like a tube amp. Now, more than twenty years down the line, they've perfected that idea. The result is the brand-new Blues Cube Hot: a portable 3-watt combo in Black and Vintage Blond.
