With the Fishman Loudbox Artist Bluetooth, the pickup giant Fishman offers a combo amplifier designed for true-to-sound reproduction of acoustic instruments. With a maximum power of 120 watts, the revised version of the amp classic offers sufficient power for the sound reinforcement of larger gigs and relies on bi-amping for a clearly defined and unadulterated sound image. The Fishman Loudbox Artist Bluetooth can be used in a variety of ways thanks to its two-channel design with combi connectors for XLR or jack and can, for example, amplify two acoustic instruments or an instrument plus a vocal microphone in a clear and differentiated way. The Artist Bluetooth Loudbox, on the other hand, offers a wide range of connection options for studio and FOH in the form of two separate DI outputs for both channels, a mix DI out, additional aux inputs in large and small jack format and two separate effects loops for external effects devices. The revised version now also features a Bluetooth 4.0 interface on board, which allows the wireless recording of backing tracks or jam alongs via any smartphone.
The two channels of the Fishman Loudbox Artist Bluetooth follow the same structure and offer separate and effective 3-band tone controls consisting of two shelving EQs for bass and treble and a mid boost/cut. In addition, the Loudbox Artist Bluetooth features an anti-feedback notch filter for low-end feedback loops and a phase switch for further feedback, providing extensive feedback control tools. With its Bluetooth 4.0 interface, the Loudbox Artist Bluetooth can easily be connected to all Bluetooth enabled devices, making it quick and easy to play additional audio tracks through the Loudbox.
With two separate effects sections and two assignable channels, the Loudbox Artist Bluetooth offers a wide range of sound shaping possibilities in addition to its crystal-clear sound qualities. Effect A contains classic circuits of reverb and delay sounds and creates spatial sounds ranging from long reverb to rhythmically sounding echo sounds. Effects section B presents a selection of modulation effects and a slapback delay for both channels with two different chorus effects, a flanger and an additional slap echo. Section A has a Time slider for adjusting the effect length, while the Depth slider on the Front Panel adjusts the effect depth of the selected B effect.
