 Hey, my name is Jared James Nichols. I play guitar and sing in front my own blues rock power trio I've played black star amps for about the past five years I've used everything from the series one to the HT series and the artisan and I firmly believe that the new artist amps Take the best qualities of series one and the artisan series and put them together between the versatility and the tone of the boutique channel and The gain stage in the normal channel. It's just really really Transparent and clear to see that it's a contender on both sides of the field in the more blues and You know lower-level volume types of music, but then I can also play rock and roll and more heavy stuff on the Vintage and boutique channel black stars definitely making their mark with tons of blues rock players me included It's really something that you can get all of these tones out of this one combo amp And what really strikes it to the heart with me is the fact that I can be expressive and dynamic playing blues But then I can also kick it in to play rock on the same amp It's it's always a revelation when you can find the tone in the box And you aren't just endlessly searching and with this amp personally, I feel like I've kind of found my tone with it Which is really exciting You
