For Sale Ashdown Klystron 400 Combo

[ian_w]

Hi there,

It breaks my heart to be selling it really, but I’m going travelling before I join the army and there just won’t be a chance to play it. So am trying to find the ol' girl a new home.

Here's a link of the amp being discussed on talkbass:

Asking for £550 for it, but am willing to negotiate. Amp comes with a cover and is blessed with wheels making it easy to shift to gigs-as it is pretty damn heavy.

Hope someone's interested.

Cheers,

Ian

TECHNICAL INFO


The new Bass Magnifier bass amps are a whole line of bass guitar amplifiers that include 200, 400 or 800-watt heads, seven combos and eight different speaker cabinets. Made in England, all of these amps feature a built-in studio quality harmonizer that adds a lower extra octave to your original bass sound. This sub-bass signal can be mixed into the finished sound or can be routed separately to Ashdown's 400-watt powered sub-woofer cabinet.

Starting with the pre-amp stage, the Klystron Bass Magnifier uses both solid-state and a dual triode tube stage for a range of very clean to warm or even fuzzy bass sounds.

Inputs for both passive and active basses are provided while a retro-looking VU monitors input levels. Tone controls are straightforward rotary bass, mid-range and treble with two additional faders for an extra 15dB of cut/boost at 180Hz or 340Hz and 1.4kHz or 2.6kHz. This works out to a total of seven bands of EQ.

The output section of the Klystron is composed of a row of MOSFET power transistors, toroidal transformers and doubled up output capacitors. Instead of a noisy single high speed/capacity cooling fan, four quiet low speed fans are use to cool this power output amplifier. The chassis is made from 16 gauge zinc-coated steel with full foil shielding to minimize electrical noise and interference from external sources.

Other niceties

All cabinets and amp tops are made from plywood with screwed and glued joined corners, covered in a "buffalo" covering and sealed to eliminate air noise; Ashdown uses speakers by Celestion; a front panel mounted XLR connector for DI; permanent tuner jack; a footswitchable mute
