Ashdown

Ashdown are a British based company, manufacturing instrument amplifiers. Founded only in 1997, is a fairly young company compared to some of its competitors, however; what it lacks in age, it makes up for with unquestionable quality and precision.

From the bedroom to the stadium, Ashdown build a full range of high-performance bass amplifiers to suit all musical styles and different levels of playing abilities. The original aim of the brand was to create “solid, good-sounding and affordable bass amplifiers”, and in doing so, Ashdown have also catered for electric and acoustic guitarists. In addition to guitar amplification, Ashdown offer a range of bass guitar effects pedals such as the Chorus Plus and the Sub-Octave Plus.
