Blackstar Artisan 30 - Bright preset

Verified · 88/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Artisan 30 is a hand-wired 30-watt amp from Blackstar's Artisan line with two channels. Channel 1 runs a 12AX7 into a 6267 (EF86) pentode, with tone, a four-position Bass Shape switch and volume. Channel 2 cascades three 12AX7 stages with a bright switch, gain, treble, bass, mids and volume. Both feed a 12AX7 long-tail inverter driving four cathode-biased EL84s with a 10 W / 30 W switch, on a GZ34 tube rectifier.

Schematic-derived preset files for the Neural DSP Quad Cortex and 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
