Building on the combination of blendable tube and solid state input stages, sophisticated tone shaping facilities and plenty of unrestrained power, the new ABM EVO II's feature entirely new power sections with greater headroom and transient attack, and even lower noise. In addition, the amount of overdrive can now be preset and selected by a footswitch, adding to an extensive range of footswitchable performance features that already includes EQ in/out, EQ flat/shaped, octave divider in/out and tuning mute.

The Ashdown ABM EVO II bass amplification range comprises the ABM RPM1 EVO II preamp, 300, 500 and 900 watt ABM EVO II heads, the ABM 500RC EVO II rack mounting 500 watt head, and a selection of bass combos ranging from the 300 watt ABM C110-300 EVO II to the mighty 500 watt 8 x 10" ABM King Combo. Instantly recognizable with their classic illuminated VU meter, Ashdown ABM bass amps are the choice players the world over including UK session great Pino Palladino, U2's Adam Clayton and the legendary Roger Waters.
