English

The U.S. Government´s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has

specied the following permissible noise level exposures:

Duration Per Day In Hours Sound Level dBA, Slow Response

8 90

6 92

4 95

3 97

2 100

1½ 102

1 105

½ 110

¼ or less 115

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could

result in some hearing loss.

Ear plug protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating

this amplication system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure is

in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous

exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to

equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplication

system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately

from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities

appointed by the government or the local authorities.

Features

In celebration of 10 years of glorious Blackstar tone, our design team have created

three new 10 Watt single-ended valve ampliers, each drawing on the sound and

innovation of iconic Blackstar lines: Artisan, Artist and Series One. Each model

captures the essence and, crucially, the player feel of the original agship amplier,

and manages to do so with an elegantly simple arrangement of four controls, plus a

switch to introduce an additional gain stage for ultimate exibility.

This Artisan 10 Anniversary Edition is a low gain, classic crunch amplier with an

ECC83 valve in the preamp stage. A hot preamp Boost can be engaged – either via

the front panel or the included footswitch – for authentic classic rock / indie rhythm

playing and vocal leads.

Much of the distinctive character of a single-ended valve amp comes from the way

its power stage clips, bringing out the nuances of the chosen power amp valve. This

Artisan 10 Anniversary Edition amplier features an EL34 power valve – in keeping

with the original Artisan 100 – which produces a superlative, warm British crunch

when pushed hard using the Master Volume. The 10 Watts of output power driving

a Celestion speaker makes this Artisan 10 Anniversary Edition the perfect amp for

practicing and recording at home or in the studio, and for smaller live performances.

Professional features such as a specially-voiced reverb, footswitching and an eects

loop augment the sonic experience, making this amplier fully equipped for today’s

exacting performance requirements.

Completing the versatile feature set, a cabinet emulated line output is included for

silent practice, recording or for supporting your live sound into a PA. The signal for

the emulated output is taken directly after the power amp to ensure that you can

capture and record the tonal characteristics of the Class A congured EL34 power

valve and output transformer being pushed into saturation.

English

Front Panel

1. Input

Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.

2. Volume

This controls the volume of the preamp. Turning it clockwise increases the volume. At

low channel volume the amplier will be completely clean. Increasing the amount of

volume will see the amplier start to break up into a natural mild overdrive response.

3. Boost Select

Press this switch to engage the hot preamp boost, inspired by our HT-Boost pedal.

This built-in boost is perfect for authentic classic rock / indie rhythm playing and vocal

inspired leads.

NOTE: This switch must be pressed in order to use a compatible footswitch to

engage the Boost.

4. Tone

The Tone control allows adjustment of the balance between treble and bass

frequencies within the sound. At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be

warmer and darker in character. As the Tone control is rotated clockwise the sound

will become brighter.

5. Reverb

The Reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb eect. With the control fully

counter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increase

the amount of reverb.

6. Master Volume

This controls the output volume of the amplier. Turning it clockwise increases the

volume, pushing the Class A power stage into saturation.

7. Power Indicator Light

The power indicator will light when the amplier is switched on.

8. Standby

This switch enables the operation of the speaker output. For silent recording or

practice this switch should be put in the standby position. This will disable the

speaker output, but the emulated output will continue to work.

9. Power

This switch is used to turn the amplier on and o. You should always turn this

switch on before turning on the Standby switch (8).

Rear Panel

1. Mains Fuse

The value of the Mains Fuse is specied on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of the

incorrect value or attempt to bypass it.

English

2. Mains Input

The supplied detachable mains lead is connected here. The lead should only

be connected to a power outlet that is compatible with the voltage, power and

frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. If in doubt get advice from a

qualied technician.

3. H.T. Fuse

The value of the H.T. Fuse is specied on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of the

incorrect value or attempt to bypass it.

4. Speaker Outputs

The output marked ‘1x16 Ohm’ is for the connection of a single 16 Ohm extension

speaker cabinet (or the internal loudspeaker of the Artisan 10 AE combo).

The outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ are for the connection of either a single

8 Ohm extension cabinet or two 16 Ohm cabinets. Also, the internal loudspeaker

of the Artisan 10 AE combo can be plugged in here if it is used with a 16 Ohm

extension cabinet. See table below.

‘1x16 Ohm’ output ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’ outputs

Internal 16 Ohm combo speaker ✓X X

Internal 16 Ohm combo speaker X ✓✓

plus one 16 Ohm extension cab

One 16 Ohm extension cabinet ✓X X

Two 16 Ohm extension cabinets X ✓✓

Single 8 Ohm extension cabinet X ✓X

WARNING: The output marked ‘1x16 Ohm’ should never be used at the same

time as any of the outputs marked ‘1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm’. Failure to correctly

match the impedance of the amplier and speakers will damage the amplier.

5. Speaker Emulated Output

This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet and

provides a natural valve overdrive tone for connection to a recording device or

mixing desk. Always use a good quality screened lead.

The stereo jack socket accomodates connection of headphones to this output,

allowing you to practice silently.

NOTE: For silent practice or recording switch the amp into Standby (8) mode to

silence the internal speaker.

6. Effects Loop Level

The Eects Loop Level switch sets the eects loop to either +4dBV/-10dBV, which

enables you to use it with either professional equipment (+4dBV setting), or with

guitar level eects such as eects pedals (-10dBV setting).

7. Effects Loop Return

Connect the (mono) output of an external eects unit here.

8. Effects Loop Send

Connect the (mono) input of an external eects unit here.

9. Footswitch

The supplied footswitch is connected here. The footswitch enables you to engage

the Boost.
