Rootmaster EVO combos are made from light-weight ply to cut down on weight without risk to the signature Ashdown sound. Ashdown Rootmaster EVO Combos employ the NEW Ashdown White Line speakers for a refined tone and can extended with the addition of an 8 ohm extension cabinet output to produce full power, making a truly versatile system.

Ashdown Rootmaster EVO combos now feature bar handles for ease of transport and finished in Buffalo Tolex with a Black cloth grill. These combos have a distinctive looks and quality finish that truly stand out from the crowd.

Tonally, the compact design maintains the low-end response with a more dynamic mid range. The addition of the tweeter provides extra high end and can be adjusted either to either hi, low or off depending on the player’s preference.

The Rootmaster EVO series’ pre amp now includes a passive and active input jack socket for use with high and low output instruments, this sets a clear signal path to the input control enabling you to fine tune your input level using the trademark Ashdown VU meter. With the signal at its optimal level, you then hit the rich features designed enhance your tone, such as the shape button, 5-band EQ and on-board compressor. The drive control, as always delivers a delectable valve emulated over-drive, whilst the sub harmonic controls add further fatness to your tone - both can be foot-switched via an FS 2 footswitch (sold separately).

Rootmaster EVO combos also feature an upgraded power section plus a handy mute button. What’s even cooler is when switched to mute, the trademark Ashdown Engineering VU meter changes from orange to cool blue – creating the perfect on stage mood lighting between sets.
