Ashdown's AA acoustic range of amplifiers are exactly what acoustic guitarists have been waiting for. With their pristine sound quality and array of up-to-date features. they successfully follow in the footsteps of some of the greatest acoustic amps ever made!
Modern Day Acoustic Amp, for the Modern Acoustic Player
Featuring an impressive 50 watts of sound, the Ashdown AA-50-R Combo brings to mind the sound and look of a certain early 90's accoustic amp brand, but is fully kitted out to take on modern-day acoustic performance needs.
Solid Construction
The high-quality plywood cabinet is constructed to be lightweight, without compromising on the amp's tonal quality, and is finished in a black Tolex vinyl for that classic acoustic amp look. Housed within the cabinet are 2 UK-made 5-inch Celestion Speakers, specially voice to provide you with some of the most articulate and clear acoustic amplification available.
Bluetooth Connectivity
As a modern option, the AA-50-R also offers you the chance to connect external devices (such as your phone/MP3 player), letting you play along to your favourite tracks, or even make use of backing tracks during live performances. And if you don't have a Bluetooth device, worry not: there's also a Line In socket that will allow you to achieve the same end.
Great for Solo Performers
In addition to the standard Instrument Input socket, the AA-50-R also features an XLR socket, dedicated to microphones with its own independent channel controls and Phantom Power switch. This two channel design makes the AA-50-R ideal for singer songwriters and solo performers looking to gig in smaller venues.
Exquisite Reverb and EQ Controls
Another modern feature on the AA-50-R allows you to assign the amp's reverb control to one or two channels simultaneously, but with the same wet-signal control, and 16 pre-set reverb types to choose from. There's also a Master 5-band Graphic EQ section on the front panel, with adjustable notch filter, which allows you to fine tune your tone based on personal preferance and room size.
Professional-Grade Outputs
As well as the afore-mentioned Line Input and Bluetooth connectivity, the AA-50-R features an effects loop, and 1/4" Line Input and Output feeds, so you can even use it during studio recording sessions or use the XLR DI-out sockets to hook up to a Front of House system when playing larger venues.
