Introducing the Ashdown ABM-1200-EVO IV Head, a bass amplifier that delivers a potent mix of power, versatility, and tone. This amplifier head is more than just an upgrade, it's the evolution of Ashdown's commitment to providing world-class tone and flexibility to bassists. With a staggering 1200 watts of bass power and an upgraded preamp section, this amp head offers an abundance of tonal possibilities that are sure to make your bass lines stand out on any stage.

The variable drive technology in the preamp section allows you to control the amount of current flowing into the 12AX7 tube, enabling a wide tonal range from the cleanest of cleans to the fattest of overdriven tones. The extended EQ section provides tight tonal control with knobs to handle bass, middle, and treble, plus a 6-band graphic for fine-tuning.

Ashdown's familiar 1-knob compressor and sub harmonic generator deliver a tight, full tone, and with the iconic Ashdown VU meter, you can easily monitor your levels. The ABM-1200-EVO IV also offers the flexibility of footswitching - you can switch in and out the EQ, compression, and sub harmonics with just a tap of your foot.
