5-band EQ. Sub-harmonic generator. Effects loop and DI output.

Designed for the busy semi-pro player who doesn't require all the sophisticated tone shaping and connectivity of the ABM range, the MAG range nonetheless delivers classic Ashdown tone all the way.

Bigger brother to the MAG300 model, the MAG 600R rack-mounting amplifier head features a potent new fan-cooled 575W 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.
