Ashdown CTM 200r bass, middle and treble controls
Flexible tone shaping
From mellow '60s bass tone to growling '70s-style bass, straight through to thick and powerful modern tone, the CTM-200R covers a huge range of sonic ground. Hit the Mellow button to engage smooth, warm, clean tones ā€“ or punch it out to dial-in pure valve overdriven growl.

Standard tone controls give you a wide range of uber-musical sounds, while Deep, Mid Shift, and Bright switches let you fine-tune your tone to the situation. The EQ section is a passive tone circuit - meaning if all controls are at zero there will be no sound through the amp. All the controls are highly interactive, giving you the possibility to dial in exactly what tone you want. Donā€™t be scared to dial the pots all the way to get the most from the controls.

Each output valve is individually fused and user replaceable without removing the unit from its case (meter also indicates valve or fuse failure).
