The Artisan 30 and 100 have additional voicing and bass shape controls to maximise the reference tones available from classic designs.

Artisan 30
The Artisan 30’s 5-position Bass Shape on Channel 1 controls the bass drive into the power amplifier and enables you to quickly and easily select from a wide palette of tonal options, from bright and glassy through to fat and smooth.
The 2-position Voice control on Channel 2 completely reconfigures the interstage prevoicing emphasis circuit to give either a ‘Warm’ vintage British Class A combo, or ‘Bright’ classic British 100W head type response.
Artisan 100
The Artisan 100’s 4-position Voice control operates as a preamplifier tone control shift, while also controlling the power amplifier damping and gain. In this way it allows the amplifier to follow the evolution of 100W guitar amplifier design: early 50’s American amp, late 50’s American amp, early 60’s British head, late 60’s British head.
