What an amp this is. In triode mode the tone is round and bluesy with a mellow top end. The triode mode also has the benefit of producing more saturated distortion tones at lower output levels.
The pentode mode produces a more dynamic feel and is louder and more punchy than the triode mode. This setting is recommended for dynamic clean sounds and more pushy sounding crunch tones. So this is a perfect setting for both rehearsals and smaller gigs.
The Artisan 15 also allows the blending of the two channels. By paralleling the guitar connection to the inputs of Channel 1 and Channel 2 endless tonal variations are available.
Use the hi input if you wish to achieve power amplifier break-up and overdrive. Use the lo input if you wish the amplifier to remain clean. So this feature is really useful if your guitar has high output pick-ups.
