Blackstar Artist 15 & Artist 30 electric guitar amplifiers review with “Top Gear” award

TopGuitar is proud to inform, that the February issue of the magazine features a review of Blackstar Artist 15 and Artist 30 electric guitar combo amplifiers, which have been awarded with “Top Gear” editors’ award. The equipment was delivered for review by Blackstar distributor in Poland, Sound Service. Visit the dedicated Sound Service subpage at TopGuitar website.
Below are some excerpts from a review by gear department editor Mikolaj Sluzewski, which may serve as reasons for the award:

“The first channel is designed as a clean channel and it actually stays truly clean no matter how far right you move the volume knob! Remarkable and noteworthy for tonal purists who value high quality clear sound, as well as for external effects users.”

“Such beautiful, harmonically soaked sound, balancing on the edge of saturated clean and mild overdrive is extremely hard to find among many other amps in this price range.”

“The feelings accompanying playing the Blackstar Artist 15 and Artist 30 are at times truly magical, and the sublime, aristocratic sound of these amps is additionally enriched by a perfectly matched reverb.”
