  1. Nice amps, not worth £600+ though. I bought and sold mine for <£500.

    Nicely made, crap speaker (unless it's got the optional EV), pretty good cleans and laughable overdrive.

    A Traynor YGM-3 is a much better amp for way less money (typically <£400 for a clean one).

  2. From the Sampson-era, it's the more portable small box 1 x 12" model. It used to belong to Neville Marten of Guitarist/Guitar Techniques mag (as mentioned in this [URL="http://www.musicradar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91906"]thread.[/URL]), I understand he used this with Marty Wilde's band hence the 'Wildcats' sticker on the back.

    It's in good condition, some of the tolex has small marks and scuffs but nothing particularly noticeable as you can see in the pics. In some of the photos, it looks like there are some holes in the grill cloth but it's the reflection of the speaker mounting screws. It's all stock, no mods and sounds utterly wonderful. It sounds like the best Vox AC30 you ever heard, but with that famous Matchless muscle and clarity (and weight and volume!)

    It's got brand new JJ power tubes in, so it's good to go. I won't bang on about the build quality, it's a Matchless - 'nuff said.

    £1300 collected from Oxfordshire (Hants, Bucks, Berks and occasionally Devon and Cornwall can also be arranged). No trades, thanks.

    So you assumed I was asking for pics of the inside because I already knew what they looked like? I was asking because I don't know, and I want to know. I still don't know, because there are still no pics.

    No, actually I correctly assumed you didn't know, I was just telling you that you wouldn't see a point to point amp like the picture of the Artisan 15 you posted.

    I was only trying to help you, no idea why you're getting weird about it. This is what an HT5 looks like inside, both normal and Artisan versions:



    Anyway, good luck to the seller - they're fun amps.

    How about letting the OP, the person who is trying to sell the amp, put the pics and information about his amp, that he is selling, into the thread?

    Didn't realise I was stopping him. I was only highlighting your apparent lack of knowledge about these amps, in case you made a mistake purchasing it. :rolleyes:

    Tat is a picture of the Artisan series. This is an HT5 Artisan. Not the plain HT5.

    Nope. That's an Artisan 15 by the look of things: http://www.blackstaramps.co.uk/products/artisan/artisan15gallery.html

    The HT5 (both normal and Artisan) are PCB based. They only have two valves. The only difference between the normal HT5 and the Artisan HT5 is the colour.

  7. Point to point wired amp from the 90's - 25 watts with reverb. The speaker is a Celestion G12L35. It sounds nice and clear up to about halfway, then it transitions into a very bluesy overdrive.

    It's reasonably clean - several marks here and there but structurally sound.

    £280 collected from West Oxfordshire. I'm occasionally in Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and very occasionally in Cornwall.
