Introducing the UK-Peacemaker Series

Handcrafted All-Valve Guitar Amplifiers, Built in England

Ashdown Engineering is proud to unveil the UK-Peacemaker Series - a complete family of UK-built, all-valve guitar amplifiers and cabinets, handcrafted in England with uncompromising attention to tone, build quality, and heritage.

Part of Ashdown's UK-Built Custom Shop range, the Peacemaker series is designed for discerning guitarists who demand timeless valve tone combined with modern reliability. From compact studio amplifiers to powerful stage-ready heads and full-stack cabinets, the UK-Peacemaker range delivers expressive British tone across every playing environment.

A New Chapter for the Peacemaker Legacy

Building on the success of the original Studio Peacemaker 2-watt head and combo, the Peacemaker line now expands into a full-scale amplifier family. This expanded range gives players access to greater power, increased headroom, and flexible rig options, while retaining the warmth, simplicity, and touch-sensitive response that define all-valve design.

Every Peacemaker amplifier is designed, engineered, and hand-built in the UK, using premium components and traditional construction techniques that reflect Ashdown's commitment to long-term reliability and musical integrity.

All-Valve Power, Voiced for Expression

At the heart of the UK-Peacemaker Series is a pure all-valve signal path, voiced to deliver rich harmonics, dynamic response, and classic British character.

Across the range, Peacemaker amplifiers feature:

• Simple, musical control layouts for fast and intuitive tone shaping
• Two-channel designs with channel-linking options
• Boost functions for added drive or clean volume lift
• Dark / Light voicing to expand tonal character
• Built-in loads on head models for silent recording and studio use

These features allow players to move effortlessly from sparkling cleans to warm crunch and harmonically rich overdrive, all while responding naturally to playing dynamics and guitar volume changes.
