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 from Austin-Healey sports cars. Ashdown’s unwavering focus on design and innovation is evident across its product range, 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.
