Welcome back to ProGuitarShop and ToneReport.com, today we're digging into the Artist 15 from Blackstar. By utilizing some proprietary technology, the Artist 15 bridges the gap between traditional American and British amp sounds. The power amp section of the Artist 15 is optimized to wring all possible tone from 6L6 tubes, and the result is a dynamic sounding amp with classic British chime and sparkle. The preamp circuit is revamped to accompany this special power amp design, including a Blackstar exclusive: the Infinite Shape Feature. This knob alters the EQ structure of the Artist 15 to blend between American and British equalization, offering an infinite number of Atlantic-spanning hybrid voices. The Artist 15 is expertly engineered and the feature set proves it, featuring a speaker simulator out for recording or playing direct at a gig, a pristine reverb, as well as footswitchable dual-channel operation. Channel 1 delivers sparkling cleans and a stripped-down feature set with an emphasis on signal integrity, while the second channel brings in the ISF control for a clean tone that breaks up nicely when pushed. An individual Gain control on Channel 2 lets you set the breaking point just where you like it, which opens up the possibilities for hitting the front end with any number of pedals. Each Artist 15 is equipped with a single Celestion V-type speaker, and is designed and engineered in Northampton, England.
