A single input is switchable for passive and active instruments and blends solid state and dual triode tube preamp stages, footswitchable for clean, warm and overdriven tones. A footswitchable sub-harmonic generator tracks the main signal an octave lower, and a high-precision variable crossover (35Hz to 160Hz) enables bi-amped systems. Connections include a balanced DI out with pre/post EQ switching, a sub-bass output, a tuner output, an FX loop and a line input.
The ABM-RPM-GZR is a custom bass preamplifier designed and built for Geezer Butler and Black Sabbath's farewell 'The End Tour'.

The onboard JJ ECC83/12AX7 tube was run at higher current for extra grit and harmonic distortion. It carries the standard ABM tone set (three rotary controls plus two pairs of EQ sliders, switchable in/out and flat/shaped by footswitch), a blended solid-state and dual-triode tube preamp, a footswitchable sub-harmonic generator, a balanced DI out, sub, tuner and FX loop connections, and a variable crossover for bi-amped rigs. Note: this was a one-off custom-shop build and is not for sale.

Created with Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler, the Pedal of Doom is a preamp/DI pedal that captures the tone of the Head of Doom amp in a stompbox. It carries a dual switchable active EQ (each side with Bass, Lo-Mid and Hi-Mid, plus a shared Treble), a switchable Doom drive with its own Doom Volume, and dual VU meters for input and output monitoring. A transformer-isolated balanced DI output sends the sculpted signal to front of house or a line input, and the pedal is ruggedly built for stage and studio.
A special-edition version of Ashdown's OriginAL valve-driven bass preamp DI pedal, developed with bass legend Norman Watt-Roy.

A 5-band EQ (bass, low-mid, middle, hi-mid, treble) plus Drive Gain and Drive Level controls dial in anything from subtle valve grit to full bass overdrive. A -3dB pad matches high- or low-output instruments, an output control sets preamp volume, a rear DI out feeds the house post EQ/drive, and a ground lift reduces noise across two signal paths. A headphone socket allows silent practice and a line input lets you jam along to tracks. Strictly limited to a run of 50 units, each numbered 1-50 and hand-signed by Norman, with an anodised aluminium front panel finished in Shoreline Gold to match his 1962 Fender Jazz Bass.

The MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER 502 brings the award-winning Midas microphone preamp to the 500 Series format, available as an add-on to any mobile or recording system when used with the LEGEND L10, L6, or other standard 500 Series rackmount chassis. Considered by leading live sound and recording engineers as the very essence of the famous Midas sound, the preamp has been upgraded with four discrete ultra low noise input transistors and retains the soft clipping characteristic that provides crystal-clear audiophile reproduction with just the right amount of harmonics. The 502 also honours the legacy of the XL4 console by bringing back its swept low and high pass filters. A 12-position rotary switch sets gain from 0 to +60 dB in 5 dB increments, while a fully variable output trim potentiometer adds another ±20 dB of range for up to +80 dB of total gain. The input stage accepts signal levels up to +24 dBu without requiring a pad. Outputs are electronically balanced by default, with a switchable transformer-balanced output (TX) for additional tonal character.
The MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER 502 V2 is the award-winning Midas microphone preamp delivered as a 500 Series add-on module for mobile or recording systems, particularly designed for use with the LEGEND L10 or L6 500 Series Rackmount Chassis. The V2 iteration upgrades the original 502 with four discrete ultra low-noise input transistors, retaining the legendary Midas sound while extending dynamic range. The input stage accepts signal levels up to +24 dBu with soft clipping, gain is set via a 12-position rotary switch from 0 to +60 dB in 5 dB increments, and a ±20 dB output trim potentiometer brings total maximum gain to +80 dB. Twin balanced outputs (main and an auxiliary TX output) feed independent destinations, with illuminated push-button switches handling low-pass and high-pass filter engagement, phase reverse, 48 V phantom power, and TX output routing. Variable low-pass (1 kHz–40 kHz, -3 dB) and high-pass (10 Hz–400 Hz, -3 dB) filters provide on-module shaping, and 11-segment rotary LED meters monitor input and output levels.
