Rear Panel

1. Mains Fuse
The value of the Mains Fuse is specified on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of the
incorrect value or attempt to bypass it.
2. 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
qualified technician.
3. H.T. Fuse
The value of the H.T. Fuse is specified on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of the
incorrect value or attempt to bypass it.
4. Speaker Outputs
The output marked '1x16 Ohm' is for the connection of a single 16 Ohm extension
speaker cabinet (or the internal loudspeaker of the Artist 15 combo).
The outputs marked '1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm' are for the connection of either a single
8 Ohm extension cabinet or two 16 Ohm cabinets. Also, the internal loudspeaker
of the Artist 15 combo can be plugged in here if it is used with a 16 Ohm extension
cabinet. See table below.
Internal 16 Ohm combo speaker
Internal 16 Ohm combo speaker

Two 16 Ohm extension cabinets
Single 8 Ohm extension cabinet
WARNING: The output marked '1x16 Ohm' should never be used at the same time
as any of the outputs marked '1x8 Ohm or 2x16 Ohm'. Failure to correctly match
the impedance of the amplifier and speakers will damage the amplifier.
5. Speaker Emulated Output
This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet and
provides a natural valve overdrive tone for connection to a recording device or
mixing desk. Always use a good quality screened lead.
NOTE: To 'silently' record, set the Master Volume to zero.
