Pantera's low end, in a flight-friendly package: the RB-800 is Rex Brown's signature Ashdown, voiced for stadium-shaking weight and snarling drive.
Built around the tools Rex relies on — comprehensive EQ, Ashdown's Sub-Harmonic Generator, one-knob compression and a Valve Emulated Drive that goes from warm push to overdriven growl — the RB-800 delivers 800 watts with headroom for any venue. The Analogue Cab Sim DI translates that signature tone perfectly to front-of-house and in-ears, making it as much a modern touring machine as a metal icon's namesake.
Ashdown is British bass amplification at its best. Founded by Mark Gooday in 1997 after his years running Trace Elliot, the company builds everything from lightweight gigging heads to hand-wired UK flagships, and its artist roster reads like a who's who of bass: Geezer Butler, Shavo Odadjian, John Myung, Rex Brown, Guy Pratt and Adam Clayton among them. If it has a VU meter and it makes the room shake, it's probably an Ashdown.
