Blackstar Artisan 15 – 15W Hand-Wired Tube Guitar Combo Amp - (Pre-Owned)

The Blackstar Artisan 15 is a premium, hand-wired valve guitar amplifier designed for players who demand authentic vintage tone with boutique-level craftsmanship. Built in the UK, this 15-watt combo delivers rich harmonics, touch-sensitive dynamics, and classic British character ideal for studio recording, home use, and small gigs.

Featuring two distinct preamp channels—one based on an ECC83 triode and the other on an EF86 pentode—the Artisan 15 offers exceptional tonal flexibility, from sparkling cleans to warm, organic overdrive. A switchable 15W/5W output allows you to achieve natural tube breakup at lower volumes, making it perfect for modern playing environments.

Loaded with a 12” Celestion speaker and constructed using traditional turret-board, hand-wired techniques, the Artisan 15 is a true tone purist’s amplifier.
