Geezer Butler to sell signed amps used at Black Sabbath’s final show
Fancy owning a piece of Black Sabbath history? Well, you’re in luck – Geezer Butler has hand-signed 15 amps amps used during Sabbath’s grand Back To The Beginning farewell show, and they’ll be available to buy on Reverb next week.
The 15 amps on offer are Butler’s very own Head of Doom Bass Magnifier created in partnership with Ashdown Engineering. The amps boast 600 watts of power, with a 9-band EQ, Sub-Harmonic generator, as well as the signature Doom control, which offers a 12AX7 preamp stage for rich harmonic distortion.

The amps also come with dual inputs for passive/active basses, as well as a pair of illuminated VU meters, footswitchable EQ settings. So it’s a quality amp… which also happened to be used during the most important show in Sabbath history.
As well as being signed by Butler, each amp will also come with its own certificate of authenticity.

If you don’t manage to get your hands on a genuine Back To The Beginning amp next week, don’t worry. Ashdown Engineering will also be offering a new speaker cabinet in line with Butler’s creative input. The Cab Of Doom will be a made-to-offer cabinet, handcrafted to the same specs as those used during Sabbath’s final show.
The Cab Of Doom cabinets will be 2×15” and 2×12” cabinets, with 300 watts RMS at 8 Ohms and a custom medal grill screen-printed with Geezer’s signature fallen angel artwork. The Cab Of Doom will serve as Ashdown’s third collaboration with Butler, joining the Head Of Doom amp and the Pedal Of Doom.
For those keen to know when the Head Of Doom amps officially go on on sale on 14 October, you can sign up here.
