Essential Information About the Ashdown Killer Tone KT-15 Amp

  • "Warm" tube-inspired tone in a simple and reliable transistor combo.
  • 15 W format with two channels to switch from clean to crunch instantly.
  • 8-inch speaker and 2-band EQ for quick tone shaping.
  • Auxiliary minijack input to play along with your tracks and headphone output for silent practice.

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Designed to deliver the harmonic character of British amps without breaking the bank, the Ashdown Killer Tone series comes in compact combos made for everyday use. The KT-15 represents the most accessible model, ideal for learning and practice. Above it, the "15FX" and "30FX" versions add a 10-inch speaker and a 16-channel digital effects unit for those seeking more depth and versatility.

Who This Amp Is For

The KT-15 is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists looking for a plug-and-play amp for home use, low-volume rehearsals, and demo recordings. Its clear and musical voicing suits pop, rock, indie, blues, and funk styles. Paired with a few pedals, it easily covers modern overdrives at domestic volume levels.

Features and New Additions

This 15 W transistor combo offers two complementary channels to switch between a clean sound and a more biting channel. The 2-band EQ allows quick adjustment of bass foundation and treble brightness. On the connectivity side, the instrument input is a jack format alongside an auxiliary minijack input for playing along with backing tracks, while the headphone output enables silent practice at any time. The KT-15 keeps the essentials for daily practice, whereas the "FX" models in the same series include a 16-channel effects processor and a larger speaker.

The Sound

Being transistor-based, the KT-15 favors a fast response and clear attack definition. The clean channel remains crisp and articulated, with a slight smoothness reminiscent of the natural compression of tube amps. Pushing the gain yields a musical crunch and moderate saturation, ideal for rock rhythms and singing leads. The 8-inch speaker emphasizes a present midrange, ensuring clarity even at low volumes, and the amp responds very well to overdrive and modulation pedals.
