ASHTON BA400H

The Pro–level BA400H Bass Head produces a sound so hot and heavy, it has a built in fan to keep things cool on stage. The lightweight toroidal transformer adds more power to your bass-end sound, while a range of controls including 7 band EQ, active compressor and tone shaping controls let you create almost any sound you’re after – from sharp and punchy to fat and dirty, and anywhere in between. A perfect choice for performance, with speaker outputs and XLR line for direct connection to most PA systems.

Front Panel:

INPUT – PASSIVE – Use this input if your bass guitar has “Passive” electronics (bass’s that don’t require a 9V battery to operate are “Passive”).

INPUT – ACTIVE – Use this input if your bass guitar has “Active” electronics (bass’s that require a 9V battery to operate are “Active”) GAIN & MASTER – Adjust the overall volume of the amp.

GAIN is the amount of level going into the pre-amp, MASTER is the level that your amplifier is operating at. SHAPE & “PULL FLAT BOOST” – The SHAPE control is a quick way to change the sound of the amp to your liking by “shaping” the mid-range frequencies.

PULL FLAT BOOST bypasses SHAPE and gives you a flat, loud sound for those extreme musical moments.

COMPRESSION – lets you control how tight and punchy your sound is by using the “SOFT/HARD” controls.

7 BAND EQ – “Tune” your amp to your style of playing, just like your stereo system.

HEADPHONE – Plug yours in for private practice.

Rear Panel:

PARALLEL SPEAKER OUTPUTS – For use with bass enclosures only. Always use high quality speaker leads for these connections. When setting up your rig ensure that your enclosures are plugged in before switching the power on. DI output – for direct connection to a PA or recording gear.

FAN – Keeps the transformer cool. Always leave room for airflow behind amp to avoid overheating.
