1. Speaker Outputs

There are two parallel speaker outputs for connecting the internal speakers and/
or an external speaker cabinet. When connecting speakers always ensure that the 
Impedance Selector (2) is set correctly.

2. Impedance Selector

This control matches the amplifier’s impedance to that of the connected speakers. 
Always ensure that the selected impedance matches that of the internal and/or 
external speaker cabinets.

The Artisan 30’s internal speakers are 16 Ohms each. They are wired in parallel 
giving a total impedance of 8 Ohms, so the impedance Selector must be set to 8 
Ohms. If an additional 8 Ohm speaker cabinet is used together with the internal 
speakers the Impedance Selector should be set to 4 Ohms. A speaker cabinet of 
less than 8 Ohms should not be used together with the internal speakers.

WARNING:

  The  amplifier  must  always  be  completely  powered  down  before 

adjusting the setting of the Impedance Selector. Failure to do this, or to correctly 
match the impedance of the amplifier and speakers, will damage the amplifier.

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. Mains Fuse

The value of the Mains Fuse is specified on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of the 
incorrect value or attempt to bypass it.

5. 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.

Channel Blending

The Artisan 30’s topology allows the blending of the two channels. By paralleling the 
guitar connection to the inputs of Channel 1 and Channel 2 (see Figure 1 and Figure 
2 below) endless tonal variations can be explored.
