Marshall Artiste Schematics

The Artiste amps were in production from 1971 up to 1978. The Artiste speaker cabinets were in production from 1973 to 1977. In the brochures they were called Artist, but the panels on the amps clearly show Artiste.

2040 Artiste, 50W 2x 12″ combo

This amp had 2 channels and 4 inputs and a reverb. It was meant for lead, bass and organ use. I’ve seen these combos fitted with 12″ Celestion G12H-30 speakers.

Schematic with 4x ECC83 & 2x EL34 (Marshall, 1971).

2041 Artiste, 50W 2x 12″ head and cabinet

This two piece setup, the head and cabinet, were sold together as Model 2041. The head amp was also available seperately as model 2048. This amp had 2 channels and 4 inputs and a reverb. The schematic is the same as that for the 2040 Artiste amp.

This two piece setup, the head and cabinet, were sold together as Model 2059. This amp had 2 channels and 4 inputs and a reverb, identical to the Artiste 2068.
