Powerful tone and powerful controls





The Studio MiniRig is a roaring revelation of serious tone. Whether you’re practicing that new bass lick or tearing through a series of gigs, the MiniRig has capabilities for all. The MiniRig throws 250 watts of solid-state Ashdown tone through two 10-inch custom speakers housed in a stylish cabinet, and then provides you will all the controls you need to sculpt a worthy tone right out of the box. For instance, a footswitchable valve emulated overdrive and a 5-band EQ offer many tonal possibilities. This same 5-band EQ features on the Rootmaster and OriginAL ranges, too. With all knobs set to 12 o’clock, the Studio MiniRig sounds warm and articulate. Next, an XLR DI, line input, and FX loop stand is ready for additional sound sculpting tools and your favorite stompboxes. Top it off with a headphone output for silent practice, and you’ve got a comprehensive gigging and practice tool that’ll stand by its Ashdown name.
