The Artist 30 is an interesting beast - old school crunch from a hybrid topology, no feedback, and a 6L6 power stage, 2x12 open back cab. I generally love this amp, but I’m not quite sold on the V-types it ships with. On one hand they seem to suit its crunchy character well, but on the other, I feel like there’s more here to be found.
Any thoughts on ideal pairings? (Totally open to mixing as well) Character-wise, I find myself almost always on the British end of the ISF eq network sweep.
Lotsa bang for the buck with those! I'd try to add one ET-90 ... that might get you exactly where ya want to be ... if not then replace the remaining stock speaker with a Retro 30.
