FS or FT Blackstar Artisan 15H / Zilla Fatboy 2 x 12 (G12H30 and V30) - NOW SOLD
Hi, I need to make some space at home so I'm looking to trade my head and 2 x 12 cab for a 1 x 12 combo.
For Sale or Trade: Blackstar Artisan 15H and Zilla Fatboy 2 x 12 with a G12H30 (70th ann.) and V30.
I'm looking for either a 1 or 2 channel combo amp. Things like Fender DRRI, Rivera, Mesa Express. Needs to have a great clean and a decent OD. What have you got?? Thanks.
PRICE DROP: £260 for the Zilla and £360 for the Artisan. Or £570 for both.

Details on the amp and cab:
The Zilla can be open or closed back. Both in excellent condition. The Artisan is built like a tank and has JJ EL84s in the power stage and I have some EHX spares. The EF86 pre stage is either a NOS Brimar or Mullard. The 12AX7 side has some decent valves too. This amp has two independent channels that you can patch together and blend which sounds great! I wouldn't worry about it only been 15W - its really loud. I gig on channel 1 and have it set about 9 - 10 o clock on the volume. Once its warmed up it has a lovely open clean sound. Not sparkly fender, but not dirty. If you push the volume the dynamic response is incredible. The 5 watt power mode changes the sound more than it drops the volume. Much quicker breakup and a nice complex more compressed tone. Especially on the EF86 side.
I'm based in Huddersfield, Yorkshire. Can drive a couple of hours to meet half way etc.

Bump.
Don't suppose you're interested in acoustic? I'm only in Bradford, too.
No thanks. This is my gigging amp and need to trade for another amp. Thanks.Originally Posted by Moz91
Bugger.... No harm in trying!

This is very similar to the set up I use live which is one of the best tone rigs I have ever had. But if you want a lighter combo which sounds as good, try the Ampmaker PP18. It's a bit like getting into a Ford after a BMW but the sound is just as good. The only thing is it does break up quite early, so a 5751 instead of a 12AX7 in V1 and/or V2 lowers the pre-amp volume and increases headroom.

Nasty, brutish and slightly above average height
Hi, Thanks for the info. Just need the space and something lighter is always nice.
Not much cash flowing these days so any trades?
What about a flight cased boogie mkiii?
