Ashdown supercharges its UK-made Peacemaker series with bigger heads, combos, and cabinets for the modern guitarist
Ashdown has announced a major expansion of its Classic Custom Shop UK-Built Studio Peacemaker series at this year’s NAMM show. Building on the brand’s existing 2-watt Peacemaker models, the new lineup adds full-power heads, combos, and matching speaker cabinets designed for studio and stage use.

Handcrafted in Essex, the UK-Peacemaker Series revisits one of Ashdown’s most iconic amplifier names, combining “traditional British valve tone” with modern reliability. The expanded range caters to guitarists at every level, from home practice and recording to full-scale live performance.
At the top of the range is the UK-PM-80H, an 80-watt, two-channel all-valve head designed for stage performance with unmatched headroom and authority. It’s joined by the UK-PM-20H, a compact 20-watt head aimed at delivering boutique tones with simple controls for the studio or small stage, and the UK-PM-20C, a 20-watt combo loaded with a 12-inch Celestion Creamback speaker.
Ashdown has also introduced three matching cabinets: the UK-PM-112 (1×12), UK-PM-212 (2×12), and UK-PM-412 (4×12), all fitted with Celestion Creamback speakers for classic British punch and projection.
Together with the original 2-watt PM-2H and PM-2C, the expanded Peacemaker range now covers the full spectrum of tonal needs, delivering the dynamic feel and harmonic richness British valve amps are known for.
The series is built with premium components throughout, including JJ valves, UK hand-wound transformers, and lightweight plywood cabinets loaded with UK-made Celestion Creamback speakers. It also celebrates the work of British engineer Dave Green, whose valve circuit designs shaped the Peacemaker name into one of Ashdown’s most respected platforms.
Designed for musicians who prioritise feel, dynamics, and tone, the UK-Peacemaker range preserves the character of Ashdown’s classic designs while offering a modern, professional-grade amp family entirely made in the UK.
The expanded Peacemaker lineup will be available worldwide through authorised Ashdown dealers and distributors.
