- Page 3 The Artemus Instructions Thank you for purchasing a Carr Artemus amplifier. The Artemus employs pure and simple, classic 60s British AC-style circuits combined with a fixed-bias output section for added punch, and a cascode input circuit (the 12AX7 cascode circuit emulates the tone of an EF86 pentode without the microphonics associated with that type of tube).

On – Off – On – Selects between two ON positions and the OFF position (middle). The two ON’s are wired in opposite phase of each other. If you receive a shock from another piece of equipment (a microphone or another amp) that is not properly grounded, or if you hear static, switching to the opposite ON may solve the problem. - Page 5 Biasing Your Artemus The Artemus is a fixed-bias amplifier and requires a bias adjustment any time the EL84 power tubes are replaced. Please use well-matched quads of EL84s. The following power tube types are compatible with the Artemus: EL84 and 6BQ5. To adjust the bias you will need a multimeter to measure DC voltage.
