James Dean – and the car he nicknamed the Little Bastard – are the inspiration for this iconic, all-tube mini bass amp head. Rated at 30W, the Little Bastard won't rip your head off, but its EL84-equipped power section is more than capable enough for small gigs. And, of course, it won't put your back out on the way.

The Little Bastard preamp stage employs ECC83 and ECC82 tubes and features High and Low inputs, front panel-mounted Effects Send and Return, rotary Bass, Middle, and Treble controls with Mid Shift, Bass Shift, and Bright switching, Mute switch, rotary Volume control, and balanced DI output. The Little Bastard head partners perfectly with a range of Ashdown US Series cabinets.
