Marshall Artiste 50W 2040 preset

Verified · 80/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Marshall Artiste 2040 is a 50-watt JMP-era head from the Artiste series, sharing the fundamental ECC83/EL34 circuit topology of the period but voiced with a slightly softer, more rounded character than the aggressive Super Lead. The Artiste series was marketed toward players who wanted Marshall's quality and build without the ear-shattering output of the full 100-watt Lead, and the 2040 found favour with studio musicians, jazz players, and the growing pub rock scene of the mid-1970s in Britain.
