Product Description

Ashdown Dual Tube 550-TOURING-115 Hybrid Bass Amp Combo. The Dual Tube series is a combination of valve preamps and established model power stages delivering great clarity with an articulate bass and lower mid all in a vintage style retro cabinet with vinyl covering chrome protective corners, vintage red grille cloth and the highly distinctive illuminated Ashdown VU meter.

The DT 550 delivers 550 watts rms. The power stage is an upgrade courtesy of the highly proven ABM 500 series.
Other features include effects send and return, 3 band eq with mid and bass shift, a bright switch, mute on/off, and a DI output for connection to PA or recording equipment. Very useable pro gigging head where power, tone and looks are the brief.

Specification
First heard in the 427 Small Block, Ashdown’s Dual Tube bass preamp was an instant hit, thanks to its solid, articulate bottom end and sparkling highs. The 550W Ashdown 550 Touring 115H takes this stunning tube preamp design and partners it with a tour proven ABM power stage, delivering the payload via a custom 15” driver with an HF horn for extended top end response.

The discerning bass player gets high and low gain inputs, front panel-mounted FX send and return, rotary bass, middle and treble controls with mid shift, bass shift and bright switching, mute switch, rotary gain and master volume controls and a DI output.

The stunning chrome amp panel combines with retro cabinet styling, featuring vinyl covering, chrome protective corners, vintage red grille cloth and, of course, the trademark illuminated Ashdown VU meter.
