Overview

Massive power and tone from a compact amp package.

The Ashdown Little Giant 1000 bass amp is so compact it will fit into the front pocket of an average bass guitar gig bag, yet it delivers a powerful 1000W punch with incredibly flexible tone shaping tools.

Measuring just 8-1/4"W x 2-3/5"H x 12-1/5"D, including an internal power supply, the Little Giant packs a comprehensive range of facilities including switchable active/passive instrument inputs, 7-band semi-parametric EQ for precise tone shaping, Deep and Shape switches for instant access to killer sounds, and an EQ in/out switch, along with an input level control and meter, output level control, and power switch.

Things are equally impressive around the back of this pint-sized powerhouse, with the amp head's pre/post switchable balanced DI output, FX send and return, line input and output, and a pair of combination Speakon/Jack speaker outputs.

Hooked up to a good bass cab, the Ashdown Little Giant comes alive with a full, rich sound and stunning dynamics that are amazing for an amp such diminutive weight and size.
