Verified ownerExcellent build and functional quality. All channels of this amplifier are uniquely voiced and extremely usable. Within a few minutes of powering up the KSR Orion 45, I achieved crystalline cleans as well as lite to heavy, articulated, gain structured tones applicable to my six and extended range guitars. Highly recommend!!!!

In 40 years I’ve owned many high end and boutique amps. I haven’t been more happy with an amp since my 80’ Mark ii C+. The Artemis has crushing tone with unlimited options. I don’t care how much gain you throw at this amp, it is never harsh. This is something only Mesa can dream about. I dumped a jp c+ reissue of the original Mark ii and it was the smartest move I’ve ever made. I use channel 2 for soloing imo the worlds best solo tone. You don’t even need a pedal in front or behind it. Very warm, singing and down right inspiring. Upper register notes sustain forever. Just enough bite but very forgiving. I have tried many pedals in the loop and in front and I have to say the Artemis takes them all very well and retains all of its characteristics. If you’re looking for a do it all workhorse that will serve you for years to come and keep you inspired to play, then look no further. Thanks, Jeff.
