Designed by renowned British tube guru Dave Green, the AGM (Ashdown Guitar Magnifier) ​​range has been carefully considered, designed and built for the modern world where portability, low power options and true tube tones are paramount.

Each AVA is designed, developed and lovingly built using only the finest, hand-selected components at Ashdown headquarters in Essex, England.

The AGM-5C is designed for true tonal purists who seek lush British valve-driven guitar tones, but want to combine home/studio-friendly volume levels with a host of modern player-friendly features while still dripping with vintage tonality.

The AGM-5C offers crisp and clear clean tones with real warmth, depth and sparkle, but crank up the gain and you'll soon find yourself in hard rock heaven with heavily distorted touch sounds available.

The AGM-5C produces 5 watts of all tube power delivered through a carefully chosen Celestion 12″ Creamback G12-65 M premium speaker. However, the Stealth switch allows you to reduce the power to around 1 watt and also activates the ASC (Active Speaker Compensation), which helps maintain tonal depth and bass response even at very low volume levels.

For quiet late night sessions, the AGM-5C features a speaker mute switch that cuts power to the speaker while simultaneously activating the internal dummy load, allowing the player to safely enjoy the amp through headphones, as well as the cabinet-emulated Record Out function for direct recording.

Studio-quality Accutronics reverb provides real depth for clean tones when needed, and an FX Loop allows the player's favorite modulation/time-based pedals to be connected directly to the power amp for optimal sonic clarity.

  • Output power – 5 watts high power/1 watt low power
  • Tubes – 1 x JJ Electronics ECC83, 1 x JJ Electronics EL84
  • Dimensions (WxHxD) – 460mm x 433mm x 266mm

The all-new AGM (Ashdown Guitar Magnifier) ​​range marks a return to premium guitar amplification in 2019. Designed in England by renowned British tube amp guru Dave Green. The AGM range has been carefully considered, designed and built for the modern world where portability, low power options and true valve tones are paramount. Each AVA is designed, engineered and lovingly built using only the finest components available at Ashdown headquarters in Essex, England.

Dave Green explains: “Everything I've designed has been designed from the ground up to be repairable if ever needed. As with the bass amplifiers, the products are constructed from separate components, with almost all active components mounted on a socket for easy repair. In the case of the AGM series, take a moment to look inside... all parts are hand-picked from the finest manufacturers, all major components are above specified military grade, ensuring a lifespan of more than 15 year guarantee. I believe that consumers still strive to purchase top quality products with a long lifespan and high resale value. Quality never goes out of fashion, but it must be affordable and the AGM range manages to effectively combine these two conflicting demands.
