The Guy Pratt Signature Amp

A Collaboration Born of Legacy

The Interstellar 600 is the result of decades of collaboration between Ashdown Engineering and legendary bassist Guy Pratt. Inspired by his long history with the ABM-900, this 600-watt powerhouse is tailored to deliver the versatility, punch, and precision that define his unmistakable tone. More than just an amplifier, it celebrates both Guy’s 40-year career and Ashdown’s tradition of British craftsmanship.

9-Band EQ and Valve Drive

Sculpting Tone with Precision

At the heart of the Interstellar lies Ashdown’s 9-band EQ system, offering incredible tonal flexibility. Players can keep things simple with classic Bass, Middle, and Treble controls, or dive deeper with the additional sliders for precise tonal sculpting across the frequency spectrum. The addition of a 12AX7-driven valve drive section lets you blend in warmth, edge, or full-on overdrive, unlocking tones that range from rich cleans to gritty, driven bass lines.

Connectivity and Performance Features

Built for Professional Demands

The Interstellar doesn’t just excel in tone - it’s also packed with the connectivity today’s musicians demand. With tuner, line, and DI outputs, a transparent FX loop, and line inputs for external sources like pedals or samplers, it integrates seamlessly into studio or stage setups. Output muting allows for silent tuning while keeping your signal flow intact, making it as practical as it is powerful.

Custom Wood Enclosure and Optional Rack Kit

Crafted with Style and Substance

Visually striking as well as sonically impressive, the Interstellar is housed in a custom wood enclosure that’s both acoustically tuned and built to last. Its understated yet elegant design reflects Ashdown’s boutique sensibilities while paying homage to Guy’s legacy. For added flexibility, an optional rack kit is available, making it suitable for touring rigs as well as studio environments.
