Core Tones At Your Feet

Essentially, Ashdown’s ‘The Ant’ allows you to have your core bass tones and signal chain quite literally at your feet. Working superbly with external pedals, modellers and multi-effects units; ‘The Ant’ offers enough control on its own too with a flexible 3-band EQ section and a shape preset that allows you to sculpt the perfect bass sound.

Go Direct

Although the Ashdown ‘The Ant’ pedalboard bass amp can be connected to dedicated cabinets, there is also a balanced XLR D.I. output. This enables you to run straight into a front-of-house PA system; delivering huge Ashdown bass tone directly to the sound desk. Alternatively, you could run the unit into an audio interface for direct recording – meaning that you won’t have to mic up anything!

Modern Features

‘The Ant’ boasts a headphone output that allows you to silently practice with all the tonal perks that come with an Ashdown amp. Ashdown’s ‘The Ant’ also automatically adjusts its power requirement from 110v through to 240v. This means that you can simply plug in and play anywhere – no matter what country the next show is in.
