What sets it apart is the inclusion of an onboard headphone preamp, allowing for silent practice sessions.

The drive control offers rich valve-emulated overdrive, while the sub-harmonic controls add depth to your tone. Plus, it's footswitch-compatible for added convenience. The rear panel is equipped with a balanced DI out, Line In, FX Loop, and more. It even has a mute switch for silent tuning and instrument changes. The new matt anodized alloy front panel enhances visibility under stage lighting.

Matt anodised alloy front panel
A matt anodised alloy finish makes reading your controls and settings easy under even the brightest stage lights.

Simple, powerful EQ
The Rootmaster EVO II pre amp now includes a passive and active input jack socket for use with both high and low output instruments. The five- band rotary tone controls act with surgical precision to provide total control over your sound, while a shape switch instantly dials you in to a classic Ashdown tone setting, straight from the world-famous ABM.
 
One-knob Compression
The simple but highly effective footswitchable on board compression allows control over the dynamic range of your tone while increasing sustain & thickness, helping to make the overall level of your playing as consistent as possible.
 
Overdrive & Sub Harmonics
With footswitchable flexibility, our tube-emulated overdrive can take your core bass sound and push it into warm overdrive through to distorted filth and any point inbetween whenever you need to add extra grind and girth to your tone.

Bringing extra depth and definition to your bass parts, the Sub-Harmonic Generator lets you dial in a sub-octave and kick it in via footswitch whenever you need the extra depth for those super-heavy Godzilla moments.

Totally connected
If you want to use your favourite pedals or multi-effects, you’ll find send and return sockets on the back panel, along with a DI output for direct injection into the PA mixer or recording console and a Line Input (with front panel level control) so you can jam along with a backing track in rehearsal.
A combined Neutrik Jack/Speakon socket allows connection of an 8ohm extension cabinet..
  
Headphone Output
The Rootmaster EVO II range now comes equipped with an on-board headphone preamp to allow for silent practice, which doubles up these gig-ready amplifiers as handy practice devices. The headphone preamp maximises the full sound potential of your headphones, so now your in ear sound can match the quality of your stage sound.
