The Perfect Combination of Classic Tone and Modern Features

The Ashdown CTM-200R evokes the unmistakable tone of a classic tube amplifier and packs it into a feature-laden 200-watt all-tube rackmount bass head. The result? Mammoth tube-infused bass tone with capabilities that fulfill the demands of modern bassists. A passive 3-band EQ makes finding your signature tone easy, while Deep, Shift, and Bright switches give you fine control over your final sound. You also get a horde of player-friendly features, such as a tube-driven, transformer-derived DI output and front-mounted tube-driven effects loop. The road-ready CTM-200R boasts heavy-duty circuit boards, plus a powder-coated steel chassis with spot-welded supports for added reliability.

200 watts of tube-fueled tone — a gigging bassist’s dream come true

The CTM-200R’s powder-coated steel chassis houses a classic 5-tube preamp configuration, plus a KT88-fueled power section. And at 200 watts, it can easily keep up with a hard-hitting drummer. We’ve found that the CTM-200R is capable of filling small- to medium-sized venues with powerful, rafter-shaking tones without breaking a sweat. This rackmount bass amp head is a gigging bassist’s dream come true.

3-band EQ plus extra sound-shaping controls enable fine-tuned tone

The Ashdown CTM-200R isn’t all brawn — tone comes first. Fire up this 200-watt brute, and you’ll experience everything from mellow 1960s-eque tones to ’70s-style growl to modern articulate punch. This bass amp head’s 3-band EQ is great for dialing in your sonic foundation, while Deep, (mid) Shift, and Bright switches supply you with the level of fine-tuning pro-level bass players demand. The CTM-200R’s EQ section is a passive tone circuit — dial down the knobs to zero, and the amp stops passing signal. If you’re anything like us, you’ll appreciate how interactive these controls are. It makes this amp extremely flexible, but prepare to spend a lot of time dialing it in. Then again, it’s a great excuse to play your bass!

The features that modern bassists demand

While there’s nothing like plugging into a speaker cabinet, Ashdown understands that many bassists prefer to go direct. That’s why they included a tube-driven, transformer-derived DI output on the CTM-200R. This DI is über high-quality. It’s top shelf all the way, with an isolated ground to give you maximum clarity and consistent output. Beyond that, the CTM-200R includes a front-mounted tube-driven effects loop for integrating your pedalboard and external processors.

    The watch has a problem with the alarm.
    Color: Black/Black/Digital, Color: Black/Black/Digital
    This is perhaps the nicest digital watch I’ve ever had, the watch is new, but it came broken, the alarm does not sound or better to say sounds so low, it is inaudible, is practically useless, do not know if it can be fixed, I’ll have to take you to a technician, the problem is that I am in Ecuador, I do not know if the guarantee will serve or can be returned. ------------------------- Este es quizás el reloj digital más bonito que he tenido, el reloj es nuevo, pero me vino averiado, la alarma no suena o mejor dicho suena tan bajo, es inaudible, es prácticamente inservible, no sé si se pueda arreglar, voy a tener que llevarle a un técnico, el problema es que estoy en Ecuador, no sé si sirva la garantía o se pueda devolver.

    Love it!
    Color: Light Blue
    Great summertime watch. Wore it all the time. I resized it much smaller, but easy enough to do. Completely waterproof. Would buy again...and did in grey for the winter. Highly recommend.
