English

Rear Panel

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 amplier’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 amplier 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 amplier and speakers, will damage the amplier.

3. H.T. Fuse

The value of the H.T. Fuse is specied 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 specied 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

qualied 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.
