Ashdown KT-30FX Killer Tone Guitar Combo

The Ashdown KT-30FX Killer Tone Guitar Combo takes everything that makes a great practice amp fun and gives it a bit more muscle. With 30 watts of solid-state power, a larger 10-inch speaker, two channels and a generous selection of onboard effects, it's a cracking choice for guitarists who want plenty of sounds to explore without surrounding themselves with pedals and cables.

Ashdown has voiced the Killer Tone series with the warmth and response of a traditional valve amp in mind. The two-channel setup lets you move easily between clear, open clean sounds and grittier driven tones, giving you plenty of scope for blues, rock, indie, pop and heavier styles. The 10" speaker also gives the KT-30FX a fuller, more confident voice than its smaller KT-15 siblings.

Then you've got the built-in 16-way digital effects section. Reverb, delay and modulation effects are all available directly from the amp, so it's easy to add some space to a clean tone, give a lead sound a splash of delay or experiment with something altogether more atmospheric. For practising and developing your own sound, there's loads to play with.

Everyday practice is nicely covered too. The Line Input lets you connect an external device and play along with backing tracks or your favourite records, while the headphone output means you can keep playing when turning a 30-watt guitar amp up isn't going to win you any friends.

At Musicmaker, we love an amp that makes you want to plug in every time you walk past it. The Ashdown KT-30FX does exactly that, with enough power to have some proper fun, plenty of built-in effects to experiment with and controls that don't require an instruction manual every time inspiration strikes. Whether it's your first serious practice amp or a dependable home combo for daily playing, this is a savage little box of goodies.
