Ashdown - ABM 1200 EVO IV Head

Volume isn't everything, character is. The Ashdown ABM 1200 EVO IV Head imposes its authority with 1200 watts, and it's its original voice that makes the difference. This hybrid bass amp head fuses the vibrant soul of a 12AX7 tube preamp with the relentless punch of a solid power section. It doesn't scream, it charms with its power.

Your sound becomes a material that you shape. The 9-band EQ acts like a chisel to sculpt frequencies with shocking precision. The Shape switch lifts the midrange with a flick of the wrist and the effects loop integrates your favourite pedals into the perfect path. Every setting is a deliberate choice.

The three built-in processors are your invisible assets. Activate the Sub Harmonics and the low E strings will shake the floor. The Tube Drive produces a raucous, warm grain that's a far cry from digital distortion. The one-knob dynamic compressor stabilises your attack for a consistent sound, from aggressive slap to legato lines.

With its four Speakon outputs and XLR DI output, this head can be connected to any professional setup, from the most demanding studio to the biggest stage. Made in the UK, it's built to withstand the rigours of touring. More than an amp, it's the command centre of your tone.
