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
qualified technician.
3. H.T. Fuse
The value of the H.T. Fuse is specified 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.

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 amplifier and speakers will damage the amplifier.
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 Effects Loop Level switch sets the effects loop to 4dBV/-10dBV, which
enables you to use it with either professional equipment (+4dBV setting), or with
guitar level effects such as effects pedals (-10dBV setting).
