👆 Friday, Guitar Paradiso Day.
Today Mick and Pete look at the Blackstar Artist Series Amps, the 15 and the 30.
For more info on the Artist Series click here - goo.gl/iWCBOF
Pete plays his own Fender Custom Shop Strat and a Gibson Les Paul 58 Blues Master. He is using an JHS Andy Timmons Overdrive, a King Of Tone and a MXR Carbon Copy delay.
Mick is playing Pete's Gibson ES335 standard and Fender Postmodern Journeyman telecaster and he is using a Big bloom overdrive, a Plimsole overdrive and a Boss DM-2w.

I do think that these videos are kind of pointless, because Mick and Petes playing is so beautiful that they make any amp sound great.
two of the best guitar players on the internet . great demo as always.
i will check him out, thanks.
Rick Graham is a god...
Rather glad you said that. Both of them rip off phrases and licks that make my playing sound like I have no idea what I'm doing, and I've been playing for a number of years that has no relation to my skill level. Knowing that they're up there with the best makes me feel a bit less rubbish :)
And by "rip off phrases and licks" I mean they play really good phrases and licks. Note to self: I should not try to appropriate modern language like it was my own.
Danish Pete and Mick. You guys are truly amazing players.
Anderton's new Dream Team. You guys are killing it. Great stuff guys...cheers!
These guys are so lovable and both are SICK players!
I love those amps - amazing!
My lord! I’m home from work with a bad back injury. I’ve been looking at these amps and came across this video. So for one: I’m buying two of them for a wet dry setup, and two; I hope that more people get to see this and make it to the end! That jam and that 335, and Pete’s phrasing and Micks playing, just an awesome display of pros doing what they love at its best! Oh yea, and the soft rubber 😂😂😂 Mick’s reactions of this amp sold me Blackstar!
these guys really know how to tasty jam. every video its just the same ridiculously amazing jam!
Great job!
I never cared much for the diode boost in front of the preamp on Blackstar amps - these seem to give me the option of selecting my own blend of diode/transistors (pedals) or not. Nice!
Pete has a great touch when playing, his style is the best way I would describe pick techniques to people
" Backstair Artist Series Amps, the 15 and the 30." never heard of Backstair before but even with a broken rib Pete made it sound awesome.Also Mick and petes jamout was top notch, looks like you have fun which is why I like watching these vids keep up the good work fellas.R.I.P. Prince
Michael you are so right these guys I envy them their technique is so amazing. When they play you want to listen
One word: TASTY...
Terrific as usual guys!
Great leads! Cool phrasing. Unique, expert level jams. yeah. You guys just made my day. Very inspiring! from Michael T Wyman.
L.A. Jam Night guitarist. 2013-2019.
Absolutely love the great playing and interplay, and this video moved me to order an Artist 15. Not from Anderton’s, unfortunately, as they are over the pond, but it was definitely my inspiration.
you guys are truly the best !
Great video, guys! Artist series seems to expand on the Venue series club 40's channel 1... it has a voicing switch that goes from a boutique class A to class A/B. For guys like me, the club 40's high gain channel 2 gets little use. I run pedals through channel 1 and adjust the voicing switch depending on guitar (single coils vs humbuckers). The artist series may be the amp I've been trying to get out of the club 40. Thanks for the review and demo... you've got me seriously considering the artist 30.
that tele sounded amazing
There needs be a Mega Andertons Guitar Video Extraordinaire, in which Rob, the Captain, Matt, Bea, and these two all do a video together.
+Kintrap Plus whoever's around in the way of "Captain Meets..." guests!
I'd buy an F'in ticket to that!
Mick gives the best reviews of anyone....ever
That CS Strat sounds amazing - nice one.
What i like about them is the fact that they don't "metalized" their reviews.
That truly is the sound of the gifted ones! Best regards from Germany - you made my day!
Really nice review. Thank you.
Pete. Your guitar playing is great. Very inspiring!
+Alexander Terczka Great tone out of that Tele too!
Thank you very much Alexander, glad to help inspire. Best. P
335 + Big Bloom = GLORIOUS!
Great Bkackstar demo, I am checking out a used 15w, I play both a Tele and LP; looking to add this amp your demo helped a lot!
great vid and great playing as always,seem like very good Amps
Pete leaves a feeling that he can plug in a pod hd set up by a 12 year old with a squire bullet and sound amazing.
gotta love the LP through that.
I love that custom Strat. Sorry to keep repeating that but man, that is a sweet guitar.
Great Job Guys!!
THANX LADS !!! CANT WAIT TILL MY 30 WT 2X12 GETS HERE!!! GREAT DEMO GUYS AS ALWAYS AMAZING!!!
David Hartly how do you like the Artist 30?
Mick using his new-found overdrive EQ knowledge from That Pedal Show nice!
Such brilliant playing and rather hear you pair play then Chapman and Anderton.
man I love Pete's playing at 945... I want to make those sounds too! make an instruction video, Pete!!
Those amps just sound insane. I want to buy one now! Haha
Mike Landau uses Celestion V-Types in his signature amp. I've since picked them up and they work great with a Victory V30 :)
I picked up the Artist 15, and it's awesome! Just the right level of crunchy gain, and beautiful cleans. It's a very versatile amp, and indeed has a TON of bottom end, even in a 1x12 combo. That Celestian V type speaker is excellent!
A Big Muff and a Blackstar is a sweet tone. I'd have the 15W 1x12. Channel 2 with the mid hump and the extended bottom-end, very nice.
Mick, I have the Artist 15. I put 5881 JJ's in it and replaced the speaker with a Greenback. I love this amp. It really sounds quite good. I like channel 2 better than channel 1, but 1 is quite useable.
I gig with mine every week and it is loud enough to play just about anywhere, using the line out or a mic and you could play anywhere.
Mick, Pete, Dan and Michael Casswell from Guitar Interactive are my favourite demonstrators on TH-cam 🤘
I agree mate and excellent shout for Casswell he's an amazing guitarist does brilliant tuition DVDs too
Unfortunately, Michael died two years ago. He drowned (not sure, but may be trying to save another swimmer) :( Huge loss, such a beautiful player.
sounds awesome, would be great if there was some way of combining the two channels
Aw man, the sound of that 335 from 29:54 is magic!
Superb players and I personally think Blackstar makes a very solid and versatile amp
that custom shop strat will account for a hell of a lot of that sweet tone.
Just awesome tones from you two as always it's all good but the ending !!!!!, soz about the 'ribs'.
I have the Artist 15. For me it is the best amp at its price point. I have modded mine with a Greenback and Tung Sol 5881 power tubes. The character of the amp is still there but even sweeter. The 5881's have a very even and musical response. They work wonders in the amp. What can I say about the Greenback, they seem to follow me from amp to amp. Great speakers. If I had to do it over again, I would have gone for the 30 watt. You get a lot more headroom.
hey andertons, i know its been years and probably decades since u did a blackstar ht video but could u make another one? blackstar ht5 indepth stuff? thanks :)
just knowing the K.O.T is down there gets me all excited!
At last!! A demo that really shows what these amps sound like. Thanks dudes!! Don. All of them being former Marshall employee's probably helped. When Mick was playing the 335 and the 15w,it sounded like your tone was rolled off.Not much brightness.Was that on purpose?Reminded me of the Eric Johnson tone.
would love a review of ht series from u guys
Good review....... pulled a trigger after their review
Laney Guy which one did you get?
I'm a Laney guy and also want to know which one you got.
Really good demo, wuahh
Some real tasty licks here gentlemen. Sorry Pete your broken ribs went app sh-t with the tone in your fingers. Bloody awesome guys and Ps the amps do sound great with your talent and pedals. If only that tele was left handed and travelled all the way to Australia I would love to see you guys here in a tribute band. Cheers!!!
These just became my fav amps...now they just need to the the 1w and 5w version of this...AR1 and AR5 any chance Blackstar?
that Tele sounds badass
Pete, will you do us the honour of playing your hohner tele in these videos? In loving memory of the purple man
tasty as hell licks man, niiiiiice
Got a 30 en route to my house now! I'm stoked!
Cool. Enjoy....
Way too F’n loud. Badass amp though. I should have bought the 15.
I’m looking to get a 30 how does it compare to say a fender deluxe reverb?
Pretty similar actually. Except there is a little more mids and top end on the blackstar. Fender has better bass plus tremolo and actual spring reverb. I would go with the deluxe reverb all day unless I wanted to get that extra gain channel for classic rock tones. Also the bs has an fx loop which is pretty nice. Really would depend on style you play. High gain pedals do not sound great at all imo on deluxe reverbs
One of the best opinionated review ever, not to mention wonderful musicians excellent review
great video guys but we have another great issue here... "Where's the SHIRT Pete!!!" (thts probably what Mick said too earlier that day).
that jam
9:31 Hello!
Kidding aside. I would like to express an opinion that Pete's playing is this video sounded better than John Mayer in Spotify.
Nice Videos, more Acoustic Paradiso please!!
+Ma Rio Every Monday is Acoustic Paradiso day.
+Andertons Music Co every da should be Acoustic Paradiso day!! ;-)
Keep it up guys, great work!
Jesus wept... My face just melted
Epic "Lickoff" at the end if there's such an expression.😄
Mick here! Dan’s guitar here! John Mayer Fan club president here!
Mick and Pete, for kicks one week, could you guys compare your Blue and Black Strats? Since you both sound great with them, I'd like to hear the difference side by side.
+James Russo We good do that :).. We could use them in another amp demo perhaps ... Mick?
Have you done that yet Pete ?
@@danishpete
that strat sounded amazing
the ISF control needs to be demoed & featured more on video to hear the sweep
Can I use the artist 30 at home because of the master volume?
any hi gain pedals to suit the artist series?
What gauge strings is Pete playing on his Strat? Just interested. Always lovely to hear you two play. Soft, subtle but with masses of attitude...
I use .10's on most of my guitars, sometimes 11's. And thanks for the nice words. Best. P
+Peter Honoré wow a reply from the man himself. Most honored. Thanks for the info Pete.
Now it would be a good timing for a sound like Prince, R.I.P.
Pretty sure that would be the sound of silence
irockuroll60 bahahahaha
So torn between the Artist 30 and a 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb.
Yes what were u turning ?
Nice sounding amps. I think the 15 would be more versatile than the blues junior 🤔
Question: I noticed that these Artist series amps have only 2 preamp tubes (ECC83), while the Vox AC15, Fender Blues Jr, and many others have three. Is that an issue? Is some solid-state boosting going on in the preamp? (Wasn't this a question about the HT series?)
I don't think that there is any solid state boosting going on. These are not high gain amps, they are quite clean, if you want more gain you'll have to use a pedal.
a fly-3, a ht-5 and an artist, maybe one day i could say i am a true blackstar fan boy x)
Damn, me too. Fly, HT-Club40, HT5RS.
Seriously thinking of getting this artist 30, over the HotRod Deluxe.
Do you know how the song is called which was played around 18:30?
Is it too loud to gig? I mean the 30 one
'Backstair' Artist? Might want to change that in the description... :-P
Hawaiian shirt Friday at Andertons and I wasn't told?
Since both are in similar price range what would be better the Artist 15 1x12 or the vox AC15 2x12?
I guess there's no wrong answer
Is £850 mid price range?
nice epihpone
I personaly think Blackstar is the best amp, my perfect sound.
Is that Dan's Telecaster?
Bottom line, better buy the 30-watt or the 15-watt is good enough?
I hope Mick or Pete See this!
Played the rob chapman
these guys are trolling each other so hard it cracks me up
Is that the Captain's dot-inlay 335?
+Richard Harrold It is Petes. ;)
+Andertons Music Co That'll teach me to watch the whole video before commenting!
damn that tele is sexy
What did Pete say about his ribs? He broke them doing what? I'm from the South US and all you fellas across the pond sound alike to me and it's a bit hard to understand ya'll...
+Buddy Martin no. i sount tifferent.
Pete's Danish anyway, we English have a hard time understanding him sometimes... but apparently he broke his ribs at a kids' soft play centre to which he'd taken his three daughters. Nope, I have no idea either.
Thanks Richard, a was just joking kinda, I didn't understand what he said though... Thanks for the information, I was curious.
4:13 annnnnnnnnnnnnd NEXT VIDEO
can you guys do a sound like Prince???? in memory of him please???
+Alex DesJarlais Just squeal like a teenage girl, gyrate and hump your mic. There is no instrument or talent needed.
I don't know if that's supposed to be sarcasm.......
That would depend on your point of view...and how serious you take yourself.
+TheDogpa well its kind of serious. my father toured with him as an opening band and I knew him. kind of a big thing in my world.
So, that must be what Steinhardt's Tele looked like when it was new, eh?
Anyone know what the riff is at 18:13?
I think it's Brad Paisley- I'll take you back ?
@@danchapman7958 ah thanks! It seems you're right, definitely going to learn this one :)
Pete. Where's your shirt?
+Steve Brown In the wash sorry man :)
Torn between Artist 15 and Fender Bassbreaker. Help !!!! Anyone played both? Artist is around £150 more
K Fisk Plumbing I own an Artist 15 and love it so much. But the Bassbreaker 15 is absolutely incredible too. The Artist 15 has a bigger body and I think it makes the sound bigger. But to be honest, when I had to purchase again I would buy the Bassbreaker 15 because (in Germany) its much cheaper than the Artist. With the Artist 15 and a Strat, you wont get a lot of Gain out of it, the Bassbreaker has more Gain. But with the Bassbreaker you have the typical fender tone, with the Artists ISF and 2 channels you have more sound options. Again, both great Amps.
I have the artist 15 great gigging amp and great for bedroom! It’s a clean amp, can get a crunch sound if you crank it! Great for pedals
@@javierdelareta6798 Hey Javier, I'm on the fence between this one or the 30. I can get the 30 for 50 bucks more then the 15 ($500). Would you get the 30 for that price? I'm also wondering how heavy that 212 would be. 🤔
@@CarlitoM77 i havent tried the 30 but the 15 is great for small/medium gigs. I always mic it and i have enough stage volume with good headroom generally.
