Verified · 85/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Artist 3203 is a 30-watt hybrid head from Marshall's mid-1980s Artist range, sharing its circuit with the 4203 combo. An op-amp preamp offers a footswitchable Normal channel and a Boost channel with LED clipping, each with its own controls, plus spring reverb and an effects loop. An ECC83 phase inverter drives two EL34s for 30 watts RMS into 4 or 8 ohms, with a direct output.
