Ashdown Geezer Butler "Head Of Doom" Signature Amplifier Head, with 666 Watts of Raw Low-End Power, and a fantastic 9-Band EQ

Being a bassplayer, I'm always excited to see when Ashdown make any new major announcements. When this latest announcement was of a Geezer Butler (incidentally, a personal hero of mine) signature series amp head, well... I guess you could say I'm more than a little beside myself.

Geezer Butler, for those of you unaware of his legacy, had a significant hand in shaping the early British metal scene through his dark, occult-inspired lyrics and powerful, dynamic basslines, both of which helped catapult Black Sabbath to stardom and in-turn inspire countless other acts since.

Designed to Geezer Butler's Own Personal Specifications

Developed between Ashdown and Geezer Butler over the space of 3 years, and hand-built in the UK, the Head of Doom is for bassists who like to see classic, driven bass tones combined with a phenomenal amount of power. Based on Ashdown's flagship ABM range, the Head of Doom offers you a tried and tested tone, with rock-solid reliability.

As Powerful As You could Wish For

Featuring a devilish 666 Watts of RMS output, and two Neutrik speakon output sockets, the Head of Doom can easily supply you with enough power to perform at most venue sizes. As if that wasn't enough, there's also a Slave Input for you to chain multiple amp heads from one input source (Geezer himself chains three of these heads together, powering 12 bass cabs in his live shows!).

The Head of Doom also features a single instrument input socket that's linked to a passive/active selector switch, allowing you to adjust the amp to suit the output for passive or active basses as you wish.

Doom... and More Doom!

With a control labeled Doom you know that you're in for a fun time. This control knob allows you to increase/decrease the current to the amp's 12AX& pre-amp valve stage, resulting in a rich, harmonic bass distortion sound, and can be activated via footswitch.

And then there's even more Doom! Well, Sub-Harmonic Doom to be precise. The Sub-Harmonic generator squeezes an extra octave below your own signal, fleshing out any bassline you're playing. This level can be independently controlled via footswitch, giving you plenty of options to play around with mid-performance.
