Chopthebass Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) Hi, For sale - Boxed, brand new, and unregistered Ashdown Klystron Classic 1000w head (575 + 575w). How about someone make me an offer then!! I'm looking for around £800 Proudly built in the UK, the Classic Series is Ashdown’s flagship bass amp range. Comprising of 500 and 1000-watt Klystron heads, a selection of cabinets and a range of 500-Watt combos, the Classics are about doing everything better – more volume, more dynamics, an extended frequency range and greater versatility. The 575 + 575-Watt Klystron 1000 head features a single input is switchable for passive and active instruments with a blend of solid state and dual triode tube preamps stages. Three straightforward rotary tone controls provide 20dB of cut and boost at 60Hz, 660Hz and 5kHz, and are supplemented by two pairs of additional sliders giving 15dB cut and boost at 180Hz, 340Hz, 1.3kHz and 2.6kHz. A built-in dual band compressor acts separately on the high and low frequency components of the signal to provide precise control, while the on-board sub-harmonic generator turns the Classics into powerhouses of tone. The inclusion of a 4-way footswitch as standard makes Ashdown Classic amongst the most versatile live performance bass amps in the business, providing control over the compressor, sub-harmonic generator, tube grind and EQ pre-shape. Specifications Power Output (RMS) 575 + 575W Thanks Ian Edited September 2, 2007 by Chopthebass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernmeister Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Wow !! I had the pleasure of trying one of these heads into my 2 swr 2x10's. With the sub harmonic generator switched in, it made the 2x10's sound absolutely huge & full in the bottom end & really sweet in the top end like i've never heard them before, "hell yes" was i impressed with the sound made the windows in his house rattle too . Caught him by surprised how nice it sounded thro' 2x10's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
