Modern Take on Vintage Bass Tones

Ashdown’s 30-watt LB-30 is proof that big things can come in small packages. With four pre- and poweramp valves, this unit provides powerful dynamic cabinet IR simulation. The LB-30 comes pre-loaded with six cabinet presets, with variable controls. Also included is Two notes’ Torpedo technology to provide you with an amazingly realistic output. Add in USB-C compatibility, easy-to-use front panel controls, a send and return effects loop, and 4- or 8-ohm speaker output, and you’ve got a mean little machine that takes on a wide variety of roles — and sounds excellent while doing it.

User-controlled custom presets

The LB-30's cabinet simulation hits many sweet spots with bassists at Sweetwater. The unit provides 6 different cabinets: the ABM-810H-EVO IV, ABM-401H-EVO IV, ABM-210H-EVO IV, ABM-115-EVO IV, RM-212-EVO II and the CL-310 DH. Four of these presets are even available for manipulation by horns/tweeters on high, giving you 10 different amplifier sounds total to rock your next gig.

Stunning realism with Torpedo Technology

The LB-30 provides an amazing display of what Two notes’ Torpedo Technology has to offer. Leveraging unique convolution techniques, the LB-30 can reproduce authentic cabinet-miked tones, yielding a sound that is faithful to the system’s measurements.

Ashdown LB-30 2.N 30-watt Tube Bass Head Features:

  • Rated at 30 watts
  • Two notes' Torpedo technology
  • 6 cab presets with 4 horn/tweeter options, giving you 10 full cabinet sounds
  • ECC81, ECC82, and ECC83 preamp valves
  • 4 EL84 poweramp valves
  • Send and return effects loop
  • Rotary bass, middle, and treble control
  • Classic, vintage look
  • Active/passive instrument input
  • 4- and 8-ohm output options

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
