At 60 watts it has the headroom to stay clean at stage volume, and a power switch drops it to 20 or 7 watts when you want that glowing, pushed-valve sound at lounge-room levels. It’s a single-channel design with two EL34s in the power section and three 12AX7s up front. It answers beautifully to your guitar’s volume knob and your picking hand, going from sparkling cleans to a thick, chewy crunch without needing a pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe RT stands for reverb and tremolo, and both are very good. The spring reverb has its own depth and tone controls, and the tremolo has depth and speed, with a smooth, musical pulse. There’s a switchable gain mode and a three-level voice boost that adds upper-mid push for solos. It has separate Lo and Hi inputs, so you can match the amp to single coils or humbuckers, and a series effects loop for time-based pedals. The included footswitch handles the boost, reverb, tremolo and loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe finish suits the sound, with cream tolex and a black grille cloth in a British style that looks great on any stage. The head is built on a thick aluminium chassis, with a birch ply cabinet and custom-wound transformers made in Britain. It’s paired with a matching 1x12 cabinet loaded with a 65-watt, 16-ohm Celestion G12M Creamback. That speaker is known for a smooth, thick midrange, a sweet top end and a tight low end, and it breaks up in a musical way that suits EL34 amps. It’s in excellent condition and was built in 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFew amps in this size give you reverb, tremolo, a loop and a power-scaling switch without feeling crowded, and this one does it with plenty of tone to spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrand: Hamstead Soundworks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eModel: Artist 60+RT, with matching 1x12 cabinet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYear: 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSerial Number: 0114\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOrigin: UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFinish: Cream tolex, black grille\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePower: 60 watts, switchable to 20 watts and 7 watts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePower Tubes: Two EL34\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePreamp Tubes: Three 12AX7 (ECC83)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChannels: Single channel, Lo and Hi inputs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eControls: Gain, Bass, Treble, Master, Voice boost, Gain switch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEffects: Spring reverb (depth, tone), tremolo (depth, speed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEffects Loop: Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCabinet: 1x12\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpeaker: Celestion G12M Creamback, 65 watts, 16 ohms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFootswitch: Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCase or Cover: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hamstead","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67904558334105,"sku":"26239","price":4495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/26239_01_edited.png?v=1793583890","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/hamstead-artist-60-rt-with-1x12-cab-uk-2024","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
