{"product_id":"ashdown-mf-484-2-n-the-mofo-avec-torpedo-369598","title":"MF 484 2.N WITH TORPEDO","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAn Ashdown head designed to combine all-tube tradition with modern practicality\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the MF 484 2.N, Ashdown Engineering offers a guitar amp head that keeps the essentials: an \u003cstrong\u003eall-tube\u003c\/strong\u003e circuit with expressive touch, designed to make your playing and pedals react like a \"real\" amp. The unique feature of this version is the integration of a \u003cstrong\u003eTorpedo section\u003c\/strong\u003e that adds the flexibility of speaker simulations (IR) without sacrificing the feel and musicality of a tube power section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor which guitarists and contexts: stage, studio, rehearsal\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its \u003cstrong\u003e30 watts\u003c\/strong\u003e, the MF 484 2.N suits both \u003cstrong\u003erehearsal\u003c\/strong\u003e guitarists and musicians playing on \u003cstrong\u003esmall to medium stages\u003c\/strong\u003e who want a comfortable headroom. In the studio, it becomes particularly practical: you can record a true all-tube amp sound while benefiting from a \u003cstrong\u003eTorpedo output\u003c\/strong\u003e to feed directly into an audio interface or console, with carefully captured cabinets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding styles, this head targets guitarists who love expressive amps: \u003cstrong\u003eblues\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eindie\u003c\/strong\u003e, and anything that demands a bright clean, articulate crunch, and rich saturation. The \u003cstrong\u003eBoost\u003c\/strong\u003e also allows you to reach higher gain levels without necessarily stacking pedals, while maintaining a coherent sonic foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, Torpedo, and settings: from plug-and-play to fine-tuning\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MF 484 2.N goes straight to the point, with familiar ergonomics. The \u003cstrong\u003eGain\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e controls manage the amount of saturation and overall level, while the \u003cstrong\u003e4-band EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e (Bass, Middle, Treble, Presence) sculpts the sound to suit your guitar, pickups, and cabinet. The switchable \u003cstrong\u003eBoost\u003c\/strong\u003e is a real asset for moving from rhythm to thicker lead tones or to thicken crunch without losing attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe big \"modern\" advantage comes from the \u003cstrong\u003eTorpedo (Two notes) output\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003espeaker simulation selector\u003c\/strong\u003e on the front panel: you instantly choose a cabinet\/mic character suited to the situation. And if you like to fine-tune your takes, the \u003cstrong\u003eUSB-C port\u003c\/strong\u003e opens the door to more precise adjustments of mic choice and placement, to find the right balance between warmth, attack, and presence in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound character: EL84 tubes, brightness, musical compression, and lively crunch\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully tube-driven, the MF 484 2.N relies on a rich preamp section and \u003cstrong\u003eEL84\u003c\/strong\u003e power tubes: the result is a lively sound with \u003cstrong\u003enatural compression\u003c\/strong\u003e when pushing the amp, and a \"springy\" feel under the fingers. The \u003cstrong\u003eclean tones\u003c\/strong\u003e can remain bright and expressive with great definition, then gradually shift to a snappy and dynamic \u003cstrong\u003ecrunch\u003c\/strong\u003e. Increasing the gain (and\/or activating the Boost) yields denser saturation with generous harmonics, ideal for biting rhythms and singing leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe speaker simulations add a second level of color: depending on the selected cabinet, you can go from an open, airy sound to a tighter, more \"forward\" projection, very practical for positioning in a live mix or varying textures in recording without changing gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eGuitar amp head\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eTubes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e30 W\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e30 watts\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreamp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e4 tubes (1 x ECC81, 1 x ECC82, 2 x ECC83)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eGain, Volume\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBass, Middle, Treble, Presence\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ashdown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54334122590483,"sku":"369598","price":1372.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/ab5ca5745adab71c5675ec479a0071645214081a_MAS_MF_484_2_N.png?v=1787353667","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/ashdown-mf-484-2-n-with-torpedo-369598","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
