Ashdown MAG C115-300 Bass Amp (EVO II)

Ashdown is one of the worlds biggest names in bass amplification. They have a huge list of famous users (U2, System of a Down, Radio Head, Jamiroquai - the list goes on & on!), and whats even better is that Ashdown is a British company.

Here's what Ashdown say about the MAG C115-300

The MAG-C115 1 x 15 combo features a potent new fan-cooled 307 watts RMS power section. Rotary bass, middle and treble controls are supplemented by smaller rotary controls providing 15dB of cut and boost at 220Hz and 1.6kHz, providing a comprehensive 5 band EQ section.

Additionally, front panel push switches for Bright and Deep settings provide instant access to attacking and warm, rounded sounds respectively and, on the subject of low-end response, the trademark Ashdown sub-harmonic generator is ready and able to deliver truck loads of earth moving tone if called upon.

Inputs are provided for active and passive instruments and the front panel also features an effects send and return, a tuner/line output and a balanced DI output for direct connection to a mixing console.

With the MAGs now achieving EVO II status, the amplifier also includes a built-in compressor with precision sonic control.

Power is delivered through a custom Ashdown BlueLine speaker – famous for their controlled and extended low end performance, exceptional midrange attack and bright top end.

The cabinet is protected by a tough carpet covering.
