Hand crafted in Essex, UK using the finest components available the AGM-30 will provide a lifetime of rich and pure valve guitar tone from both sides of the Atlantic.
Ashdown Engineering was founded in 1997 and has a rich heritage in both bass and guitar amplification producing amplifiers known around the world for their great looks, fantastic tone and ruggedly reliable designs and construction.
The Tone push button allows switching between UK/USA flavours of EQ and the unique Cascade feature increases pre amp voltage for increased gain and saturation when required. Combined with a valve driven FX loop, footswitchable variable boost, dual input gain controls and twin master volumes the AGM-30 is supremely versatile.
The all new AGM(Ashdown Guitar Magnifier) range marks a return to premium guitar amplification in 2019. Designed in England by renowned British valve amp guru Dave Green the AGM range has been carefully considered, designed and constructed for the modern world where portability, low power options and real valve tones are paramount. Each and every AGM is designed, engineered and lovingly constructed using only the finest components available at the Ashdown HQ in Essex, England.
Dave Green explains: “Anything I have designed is from the outset is designed to be repairable should the need ever arise, as with the bass amplifiers the products are built from discrete components with almost all the active components socket mounted for an easy fix. In the case of the AGM range just take a moment to look inside… all the parts are hand picked from the best manufacturers, all key components are over specified military grade to enable them to perform for a design life of over 15 years. I believe consumers still aspire to purchase top quality long lasting products with a high residual resale value. Quality never goes out of fashion but it does have to be affordable and the AGM range manages to combine these two conflicting requirements effectively.”
