The Blackstar Artisan 100 guitar amp takes the boutique 100W design to a whole new level of flexibility. The Voice control is a timeline that chronicles the evolution of the genre from the earliest American designs through to British designs of the '60s and '70s. This is achieved by switching the preamplifier voicing and power amplifier damping simultaneously. The Artisan 100 and other amp heads from the Artisan Series are hand wired amplifiers representing the absolute highest standard of craftsmanship and boutique tone. With the emphasis on simplicity and sonic purity, every feature on these guitar amps has been refined to provide the artist with the widest range of reference vintage tones. Point-to-point tag board construction, welded steel chassis' and finger jointed birch-ply cabinets are complemented by beautiful vintage red Tolex and etched aluminum panels.
