Why players love it

• Iconic tones on tap: From classic Sabbath grind to modern doom/stoner textures.

• Two switchable EQs: Sculpt two distinct voices (clean/drive or two gain flavors) and switch between them instantly.

• Active EQ control: Bass, Low-Mid, High-Mid, plus shared Treble for precise cut/boost and mix-ready clarity.

• Pro I/O: Transformer-isolated DI to FOH/interface with stable level and minimal noise.

• Dual VU meters: Visual level monitoring to avoid gain jumps and keep your output consistent.

• Road-worthy: Ashdown design/engineering from Essex with rugged construction.

What you can do with it
