sweet, nice amp there tom :)

i wish i had the space to collect amplifiers... what are the big boy blackstars like?

i tried the artisan 15... i didn't really like it. not that it was a bad amp or anything, just it didn't really suit the stuff i played. was really loud too, considering i was running it on the 5 watt setting (though it didn't help that i was running it through a blackstar 4x12, as it was the head version and that's the cab it was linked up to :lol: ).

I'm awating the Series One with interest :) Although I think my amp budget just vanished.

I actually found it to be quite nicely put together for a £200 amp. It's light because it's not got behemoth transformers and braces of valves.

Well I tried to get some good clips but my laptops onboard sound is really shitee and just makes everything sound fizzy and cr@p. So it'll have to wait 3 weeks til the easter holidays when I bring my computer and interface home.

Still loving the Blackstar today though, got some really good tones. Turned back to my Laney and it just doesnt sound as good now haha. Much grainier if thats the word to use, and not as punchy or lively. They look cool stacked up though.

Yep I am, just hope I continue to like it - I've been happy with my laney for almost 2-3 years now (I think) so if this can last that long then I know it's good :P
