The Artemus from Carr Amps is one of the most flexible EL-84 amps on the market. Switchable from 30/15 watts and giving you everything from British mop-top tones to American mullet tones and everything in between. The Artemus is versatile and delivers open and clear EL84 tones from biting to smooth and clean through touch-sensitive, tube amp overdrive. The fixed bias output stage offers wonderful punch with a smooth break-up when pushed. The Edge and Mid toggles sculpt tones from mellow to aggressive. The Artemus also features a brilliant input modified cascode 12AX7 circuit which emulates the thickness and and gain of an EF-86 preamp tube, but without the problematic microphonics normally associated with them. This is a new interpretation of the best aspects of classic, Vox "AC" sounds with all the stellar Carr craftsmanship and qualities.
