The Ashdown MiBass 220 compact bass amplifier head fits in the pocket of a gig bag -- yet it's big enough to fill a serious venue with warm, authoritative Ashdown tone. Designed from the ground up the MiBass 220 packs 220W of Class D power and a plethora of pro features in a stylish, compact bass head measuring just 8.3 x 2.6 x 6.3 inches -- and that includes an internal power supply.

On the front you'll find a switchable Active/Passive instrument input, input level control that allows you to match the input signal to your bass using the trademark Ashdown VU meter. The preamp centers on a 7-band semi-parametric EQ for precision tone shaping: use the rotary controls to select frequency and the sliders to cut or boost to the exact amount needed. Add even more low end with the 'Deep' button or instantly switch to a slap-happy tone by engaging the 'Shape' button. The EQ can be bypassed completely with an EQ In/Out switch, the output level controls overall volume and what could be neater than a front panel-mounted line input with level control so you can hook up an MP3 player for practicing.

The pro-theme continues around the back, where combination Jack/Speakon speaker outputs share panel space with a Pre/Post switchable balanced DI output for direct connection to a PA or recording console, an FX Send/Return for adding in your favourite effects and a very useful headphone jack for silent practice.

The 220-watt MiBass head comes in black, with replacement blue and purple panels… read more also available to add a splash of colour. Check the Ashdown website to download a template and send them a design for your own unique, custom MiBass front panel. read less
