Ashdown Original HD1 300W Mini Bass Head

Full Description

Shape your sound

Designed to give you the ability to shape your sound easily and intuitively. The front-facing 5-band EQ allows for precision control of the bass, middle, and treble frequencies. The hi- and lo-mid knobs provide further fine-tuning capabilities, enabling you to dial in your tone with ease. Additionally, the shaping provides lift to specific frequencies, allowing for even more tonal sculpting.

The controls on the Original HD1 are not only intuitive but also versatile, making it an excellent option for musicians who want to experiment with different sounds. The output is independent, meaning that the level of the DI and the line-out can be adjusted separately. This feature is particularly useful when recording, as it allows for precise level matching. Its FX send and return are also independent, providing the option to use external effects pedals. What's more, the headphone out enables bassists to practise silently, perfect for late-night sessions or when sound isolation is needed. A wealth of shaping capabilities that give bassists the power to explore their creativity and achieve their desired harmonic.

Perfect for touring musicians

An excellent choice for gigging musicians who want a reliable, portable, and versatile bass amplifier. With a weight of less than 1.8kg, the amp is incredibly lightweight, making it easy to transport to gigs and rehearsals. The steel and alloy chassis and scuff-proof paint also ensure that the amp can withstand the rigours of touring without any damage. Moreover, the adaptive temperature-controlled fan ensures that the amp remains cool even under prolonged use, making it ideal for extended gigs and recording sessions.

The mini bass head also offers a range of connectivity options, including an XLR DI output, front-facing effects loop, and headphone out, making it easy to integrate with a live sound system or recording setup. The amp's output control is independent, enabling musicians to adjust the level of the DI output and the line-out separately, ensuring that their sound is always consistent, regardless of the venue's size. Additionally, the ability to power a single 8 ohm cabinet, a pair of 8 ohm cabinets, or a single 4 ohm cabinet with its impressive 300-watt power output provides plenty of volume when needed. Powerful, portable, and versatile amp.
