Description: Powerful Valve-driven Tone Inspired by Guy Pratt Sweetwater is an Authorized Ashdown Dealer Genuine Open Box Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty Ashdown Guy Pratt Interstellar-600 Signature Bass Head 600-watt Bass Head with Tube Preamp, Valve Drive, 9-band EQ and Secondary Synth Input Powerful Valve-driven Tone Inspired by Guy Pratt Bassist Guy Pratt has trusted Ashdown amps and speakers onstage and in the studio for decades, which says a lot considering his work with Pink Floyd, Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Iggy Pop, among others. Ashdown has now partnered with Pratt on the Interstellar-600, a signature bass head that recognizes Guy’s commitment to Ashdown gear. The Interstellar-600 takes inspiration from the iconic Ashdown ABM900 head and expands it with several useful tweaks for even more versatility. Onboard, you’ll find a 9-band EQ, warm tube preamp tone, a valve drive channel, and even a dedicated Taurus input jack that Guy uses for his vintage Moog Taurus floor synth. If you’re looking for a clean, compact amp head that’s brimming with quality, then the Ashdown Interstellar-600 from Sweetwater is the way to go.True valve tone At the heart of the Interstellar-600 is a tube preamp with a single powerful 12AX7 tube. You can engage the tube using a toggle on the front for driven sounds ranging from light breakup to 600 watts of gritty low-end snarl, or bypass the tube section completely for a solid-state tone. The valve drive is super versatile when paired with the Interstellar-600’s 9-band EQ, but the EQ can also be bypassed via a toggle should you so desire. The valve drive can also be turned on or off using a Ashdown FS-4 footswitch for added convenience (footswitch sold separately).Ample I/O and 9-band EQ This head packs countless I/O options for shaping tone and sending signal where it needs to go. There's both input and output level knobs, so you can blend the perfect amount of dry instrument and amplified signal and lock in a perfect sound like never before. A passive/active pad helps the Interstellar-600 rapidly adapt to different kinds of bass pickups on the fly, while a XLR DI, FX loop, and a1/4-inch PA /line level outputs offer limitless ways to configure sound for the stage or the studio. This head’s most powerful tool is by far its 9-band EQ section, with classic bass, mid, and treble knobs plus six additional graphic EQ sliders for fine-tuning frequencies to taste. And there’s even a pre/post DI switch that lets you choose whether outgoing signal is EQ’d or not.Dedicated secondary Taurus input Having a signature amp head handmade in Ashdown’s UK custom shop has its perks; for Guy Pratt, the biggest perk is having an extra input for his beloved Moog Taurus synthesizer built into the Interstellar head. We common players probably don't have a vintage Taurus lying around, but this secondary input works like any other line level input and can be used to amplify synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, and more. Routing your secondary instrument to a PA speaker or soundboard is easy using the Interstellar-600’s dual 1/4-inch output options, and multi-instrumentalists will really appreciate the gear and time savings that running two instruments through one head will bring.Ashdown Interstellar-600 Bass Guitar Amp Head Features: An inspired and expanded take on the Ashdown ABM900 designed in collaboration with Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Iggy Pop) Up to 600W of power with a 12AX7 tube preamp Separate input/output level knobs for dialing in your perfect mix of wet and dry signal Powerful 9-band EQ with bass, middle, treble, and 6 sliders (100Hz, 180Hz, 340Hz, 1.3KHz, 2.6KHz, and 5KHz) shapes your sound Dedicated valve drive channel with gain knob, on/off toggle, and EQ bypass toggle Valve drive channel enables everything from the cleanest tones to the snarling hefty overdrive Vintage-style input and output VU meters for easy visual monitoring Passive/active pad switch for quickly adapting the head to different pickup styles Dedicated Taurus/line-level input allows streamlined use of secondary instruments through the bass head Versatile I/O: FX send/return loop, XLR DI output for recording, and 1/4-inch line level output Compatible with the Ashdown FS-4 footswitch (sold separately) Handmade in Ashdown’s UK custom shop SpecificationDetail Type Hybrid Number of Channels Single channel Total Power 600W RMS Compression Yes EQ 9-band EQ Preamp Tubes 1 x 12AX7 Inputs 1 x 1/4" (instrument), 1 x 1/4" (taurus/line in) Outputs 1 x 1/4" (full range), 1 x 1/4" (line level), 2 x SpeakON Effects Loop Yes Footswitch I/O 1 x 1/4" (valve drive, compression, EQ, sub harmonic generator) Footswitch Included No Cooling System Internal Fans Power Source Standard IEC AC cable Height 6.88" Width 19.48" Depth 12.20" Weight 29.76 lbs.
