Like its big and little brothers, the CTM-300 & CTM-100, the Ashdown CTM-200R 200W tube bass amp rack head takes its sonic cues from the classic tube heads of the past and pairs its 200W all-valve design with modern features, construction and reliability and, perhaps most importantly, huge tube tone.

Built to be gigged, the CTM-200R rack head is housed in a 2mm mild steel chassis with spot-welded supports fabricated in Essex, England, hand-finished and powder-coated in black. It’s then fitted with its beautifully engineered heavy-duty circuit boards, which support the tube compliment of four KT-88 power tubes as well as the array of preamp tubes, consisting of two ECC-832, two ECC-82, and one ECC-99.
