Description

The Ashdown Fallen Angel Head is a powerhouse of tonal versatility, expertly crafted for guitarists who crave the warmth of tube-driven sound without the hefty price tag. By marrying an all-tube preamp with an innovative tube-emulating solid-state output stage, this amplifier head delivers the authentic push-pull dynamics that guitarists love, while maintaining a budget-friendly edge. Dive into its dual-channel 100-watt configuration, where you can explore a spectrum of clean and overdrive tones, thanks to flexible gain and EQ controls that cater to both subtle and aggressive sonic expressions.

What sets the Fallen Angel apart is its suite of 16 built-in DSP effects, including chorus, flanger, and delay programs, each offering nuanced textures to enhance your sound palette. An internal DSP Reverb section ensures your tone is always lush and expressive. Whether you're commanding the stage or laying down tracks in the studio, the Fallen Angel is equipped to perform, featuring a 4-way footswitch for seamless transitions between channels, effects, and master volumes. Plus, the built-in speaker emulation circuit provides a direct line level recording output, making it a versatile choice for recording artists.

During a live performance at Roadburn on April 16th, 2011, Tim Bagshaw of Ramesses used an Ashdown Fallen Angel (FA180H) guitar amplifier head. This model was part of a series created when Ashdown still manufactured guitar amplifiers. Notably, Adam Richardson, the band's bass player, was endorsed by Ashdown, which may have influenced their choice of gear.
