Great things come in small packages. The Artisan is a hand built and wired valve amplifier based on the Vibro Champ AA764 circuit introduced by Fender in 1964. Controls include volume, bass, middle, treble as well as speed and intensity for the built-in bias vary tremolo.
The standard circuit comes with a negative feedback control which provides extra amp voicings. At the min setting the amp produces more gain, earlier breakup and extra dynamics; max results in cleaner and higher headroom.
The Artisan produces 5 watts of output from the single 6V6 and is matched with the legendary Jupiter 10SC speaker to produce sparkling clean tones and great crunch making it a perfrect amp for studio, practice or mic'd for gigs.
The Artisan is available in a number of finishes as well as speaker combinations.
