Ashdown was delighted to exhibit at the first ever Fret Fest in Norwich, bringing our latest UK-built amplifiers to one of the country's most exciting new boutique guitar shows. Held at The Old Shoe Factory, Fret Fest brought together over 50 of the UK's finest independent guitar, amp and effects builders, creating a fantastic day for players collectors and tone enthusiasts alike.
Throughout the day, visitors had the opportunity to get hands-on with Ashdown's latest handcrafted amplifiers, including the all-new UK-ABM bass amplifier and the Peacemaker all-valve guitar amplifiers. Designed and built here in the UK, both products represent our continued commitment to British engineering, premium craftsmanship and exceptional tone.
The response from attendees was fantastic, with musicians spending time exploring the amps, discussing their design with the team and hearing first-hand what makes our UK-built range so special. Events like Fret Fest provide the perfect opportunity to connect directly with players, receive valuable feedback and celebrate the thriving community of independent British manufacturers.
A huge thank you to the Fret Fest organisers for putting together such a successful debut event, and to everyone who stopped by the Ashdown stand to chat, play through our amplifiers and share their enthusiasm for great tone.
