Ashdown Guitar Amps at NAMM 2025: A New Era for Guitarists
This year marked the USA relaunch of our iconic SX and KT guitar amp ranges, alongside the exclusive debut of the all-new Peacemaker-20H – a 20-watt, UK-built guitar amp head that had players raving. The energy at our booth was nothing short of amazing as guitarists from all walks of life plugged in and put our latest creations to the test.
The Return of the SX and KT Ranges
Following their official launch in 2024, the SX and KT ranges are now available in the USA! These amps have been fine-tuned for today’s players, retaining their signature tone while incorporating modern refinements. The response was phenomenal, with players praising the rich, dynamic sound and versatility that these amps offer. Whether you’re chasing pristine cleans or roaring overdrive, the SX and KT ranges deliver in every setting.
Introducing the Peacemaker-20H
One of the most exciting moments at NAMM was the exclusive reveal of the Peacemaker-20H – our brand-new 20 watt, UK built guitar amp head.

This amp turned heads at the show, and the feedback from players who put it through its paces was overwhelmingly positive.
