Professional Tone Anywhere

The Ashdown Pro-DI is designed for serious players who demand consistent, professional tone in every environment. Whether on stage, in rehearsal, or in the studio, it delivers Ashdown's signature 5-band EQ with Shape option, valve-emulated overdrive, and the iconic VU meter, all in one rugged, road-ready pedal.

Versatile EQ and Drive Section

At its core, the Pro-DI offers a 5-band EQ for detailed tone shaping, alongside a Shape switch for instant classic Ashdown voicing. The valve-emulated overdrive includes mix and level controls, allowing you to add subtle grit or full saturation without losing output volume or definition. With the VU meter, you can fine-tune your input and output levels for total control.

Connectivity for Every Scenario

Equipped with active and passive inputs (with a -3dB pad for active basses), the Pro-DI accommodates any instrument. Its transformer-isolated balanced DI output provides a flawless signal to front of house, while a ground lift ensures noise-free operation. A link output gives you additional routing flexibility, perfect for sending signal to monitors or alternate FOH feeds.

Built-In Practice and Monitoring Features

The Pro-DI isn't just for live performance, it's built with practice and monitoring in mind. A dedicated Line In with mix control allows you to blend in backing tracks or monitor feeds, while the headphone output delivers your customised mix directly to your ears. This makes it equally valuable for silent practice, rehearsals, and in-ear monitor setups.

Rugged, Reliable, and Road-Ready

Housed in a tough chassis and designed with repairability in mind, the Pro-DI is engineered for longevity. At just 1.46kg, it's lightweight yet durable enough for the rigours of touring. Backed by Ashdown's 5-year warranty, it guarantees peace of mind and professional-grade performance night after night.
