Blackstar Artisan 10 AE 10th Anniversary Edition 10W Combo Amp

In celebration of 10 years of glorious Blackstar tone, three new 10W single-ended valve amplifiers have been developed drawing on the sound and innovation of iconic Blackstar lines - Artisan, Artist and Series One. Each product is honed for home and studio use and has a wealth of features and a super cool retro look.

The Blackstar Artisan 10 AE is a low gain, classic crunch amp that uses an EL34 in the power amplifier and an ECC83 in the preamp stage for superlative, warm British crunch. In this model, Blackstar have included a hot pre-amp Boost for authentic classic rock/indie rhythm playing and vocal Billy Gibbons inspired leads.

The 10th Anniversary amps feature:

• ECC83 valve in the preamp stage
• Specially voiced EL34 power amplifiers
• Clean and Boost or Overdrive settings, which are foot-switchable
• Specially voiced Reverb, speaker emulated output and effects loop
• A super cool retro styling
• A Celestion 70/80 loudspeaker
