From Zero to Rock Hero

Variable Valve Drive Plus

The Drive level can be present and engaged via footswitch, giving instant access to a huge range of tonal textures.

The most advanced EQ system yet

Precision EQ

A familiar set of Bass, Middle, and Treble controls are paired with a powerful 6-band slider section at 100Hz, 180Hz, 340Hz, 1.3kHz, 2.6kHz, and 5kHz.

Footswitchable EQ access allows players to move from a flat fretless sound to a sculpted EQ setting in seconds. The new illuminated Input VU meter makes gain staging quick and intuitive.

Dynamic Tools for Every Player

One Knob Compressor

Ashdown's famous One Knob Compressor delivers punch and consistency with effortless simplicity, while the Sub-Harmonic Generator adds an octave below the played notes, ranging from subtle depth to thunderous low-end power.
