Blackstar Artisan OT
« on: February 16, 2013, 10:49:33 am »
I have a Blackstar Artisan 100 with a blown Output Transformer and was wondering if I can use a Marshall 100 watt OT as I am having a hard time finding a Blackstar replacement.  Since Blackstar was started by ex Marshall employees, I am guessing that there should not be much difference.  I can't find a schematic anywhere for this amp but it does have 4, 8, and 16 ohm secondaries but am not sure of the primary impedance.  The Marshall OTs I can get locally are listed as 1700 or 1750 CT.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Dan

Thanks,  that is what I thought.  Should be an easy fix other than possibly re-drilling the mounting holes.  The Artisan series are all hand wired using epoxy resin turret boards so it looks easy to work on.
