Presentation
Some amps plug in, others switch on, the Ashdown Custom Shop CTM 100 wakes up. This all-tube head, assembled in the UK, works with five preamplifier tubes and two robust KT88s in the power section. The result? One hundred watts of heat that can't be faked. It's the antithesis of digital sound.
The marine birch plywood chassis is not an aesthetic choice. This construction absorbs parasitic vibrations, leaving the lamps to work in an acoustically stable environment. You get a tonal purity that metal enclosures struggle to match. It's the basis of a sound that holds up.
Three-band passive EQ, complemented by the Shape switch, gives you intuitive, musical control. The Deep, Mid Shift and Bright buttons are shortcuts to classic sound colours. The tube-controlled transformer DI ensures that the sound coming out of the console is an exact copy of what you hear in the room.
The dual-function VU meter lets you monitor the bias of the KT88s, a setting that true enthusiasts appreciate. The front effects loop integrates perfectly into your pedalboard. With its three outputs for different impedances, the CTM 100 drives a wide range of cabinets with ease.
This is not an amp for those in a hurry. It's an instrument for those who believe that the best sound comes from patience and analogue warmth. The Ashdown Custom Shop CTM 100 is an investment for life, designed for bassists who listen with their ears and play with their hearts.
