Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.41% — somewhat different

The Blackstar Artisan 30H is a 30-watt handwired all-tube guitar amplifier head built on the same point-to-point construction platform as the Artisan 15H, featuring two independent channels: an EF86 pentode-based channel for dynamic, harmonically rich voicing and an ECC83 triode-based channel for traditional British clarity. A 5-way Bass Shape switch and Voice control expand tonal flexibility beyond what the two-channel layout suggests. The EL84 power section is switchable between 30-watt pentode mode for full stage dynamics and 10-watt triode mode for compressed, saturated studio tones at lower volumes. Reviewers describe its sonic character as occupying the space between a Vox AC30 and a Marshall Plexi, delivering bell-like harmonics and ringing treble in pentode mode.
The Blackstar Super Fly BT is a 12-watt battery-powered stereo guitar amplifier with Bluetooth streaming, featuring dual 3-inch speakers and two independent instrument inputs — a standard jack for electric and acoustic guitar and an XLR combo input for microphones and line-level instruments. Each input has its own volume, two-band EQ, and digital reverb control. Bluetooth enables backing track playback from mobile devices. At 12 watts battery-powered it is designed for busking, street performance, practice without power access, and portable jam sessions. A clean voice and overdrive voice provide two gain levels. Rechargeable battery operation makes it fully cable-free for outdoor and mobile use.
