Ashdown is renowned for its amplifiers and effects units, produced primarily for bass guitar but also for electric guitar. Based in Chelmsford, Essex, England, the company was founded in 1997 by Mark Gooday—formerly the chief engineer and manager at Trace Elliot—who designed the logo based on the badge found on Austin-Healey sports cars. Ashdown’s unwavering focus on design and innovation is clearly reflected in its product lineup, which includes tube and hybrid amplifiers, combos, practice amps, effects pedals, and more.
Ashdown Engineering remains true to its roots today, just as it was in 1997!
A trip back to the 70s! Inspired by the famous ABM series amplifiers, the Ashdown ABM Pro-FX line offers high-quality effects designed to sit perfectly in the mix. The Retro Drive is an overdrive pedal delivering a distinctly British sound and rich harmonic overdrive. Its tones evoke the sound of the tube amplifiers played by musicians in the 1970s.
