The 575-Watt 1 x 15 C115-500 combo features a single input is switchable for passive and active instruments with a blend of solid state and dual triode tube preamps stages. Three straightforward rotary tone controls provide 20dB of cut and boost at 60Hz 660Hz and 5kHz and are supplemented by two pairs of additional sliders giving 15dB cut and boost at 180Hz 340Hz 1.3kHz and 2.6kHz. A built-in dual band compressor acts separately on the high and low frequency components of the signal to provide precise control while the on-board sub-harmonic generator turns the Classics into powerhouses of tone.

The inclusion of a 4-way footswitch as standard makes Ashdown Classic amongst the most versatile live performance bass amps in the business providing control over the compressor sub-harmonic generator tube grind and EQ pre-shape.

Central to the performance of the combo is the use of a custom developed Neodymium speaker which incorporates a number of advanced features including a cast aluminum chassis with thin brackets to avoid sound wave reflections a magnet circuit with heat sink rims to ensure rapid heat dissipation and decompression holes in the cone. The result is an ultra-lightweight bass driver that just keeps getting louder as the level is increased delivering a powerful consistent bass tone at all volume levels and with no power loss over long performances.
