Ashdown Classic Custom Shop Peacemaker 2W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp

The Ashdown Classic Custom Shop Peacemaker: A Hand Built British Tone Machine

Hand Built UK Valve Guitar Combo Amp

Hand built in the UK, the Peacemaker 2 Combo delivers classic British amplifier craftsmanship in a compact and inspiring format. Designed for serious electric guitar players, this combo produces rich, dynamic tone with remarkable clarity and responsiveness. The amp is housed in a durable birch plywood cabinet wrapped in classic Tolex, giving it a timeless aesthetic that reflects its traditional British design philosophy. Compact yet powerful, this combo provides a complete tonal solution for practice, studio sessions, and intimate stage environments.

Dual Voicing Electric Guitar Tone

The Peacemaker 2 features a single channel preamp with dual voiced inputs that dramatically expand its tonal range. Players can choose between Dark and Light voicing modes, each offering a distinct sonic personality. The Dark voicing delivers warm vintage American inspired cleans with depth and fullness, while the Light voicing reveals a brighter and more aggressive British style crunch that excels for classic rock and blues driven tones. This simple design allows players to quickly shape their sound while maintaining the organic feel of an all valve amplifier.

JJ Tube Powered All Valve Amplifier

A carefully selected tube configuration provides authentic valve response and harmonic richness. Two JJ Electronics ECC83 preamp tubes work in tandem with a single JJ Electronics 6V6 power tube to produce up to 2 watts of all valve output. This lower wattage design allows guitarists to experience natural tube saturation and touch sensitivity at manageable volumes. Controls including Bass, Middle, Treble, Gain, and Volume allow players to dial in everything from delicate clean textures to dynamic overdriven tones. The interactive EQ section gives musicians detailed tonal control while preserving the amp’s natural musical response.

Celestion Creamback Equipped Guitar Combo

Loaded with a UK built 12 inch Celestion Creamback speaker, the Peacemaker 2 Combo delivers plenty of punch, warmth, and definition. The Creamback is known for its balanced response and smooth breakup, making it an ideal pairing for this amp. The result is a full bodied sound with impressive projection and clarity that works beautifully in recording environments or smaller performance spaces. Whether used for home practice, studio tracking, or live performance, the Peacemaker 2 Combo provides an inspiring platform for electric guitar tone.

Classic Birch Cabinet Guitar Amplifier Design

Built for durability and tone, the Peacemaker 2 Combo features a solid birch plywood cabinet finished in traditional Tolex covering. This construction not only adds vintage visual appeal but also enhances resonance and structural strength. Despite its robust build, the amp remains compact and portable, making it easy to transport to rehearsals, recording sessions, or gigs. The Peacemaker 2 Combo represents the best of modern British amplifier design while honoring the heritage of classic tube tone.
