The Ashton VP50 is a 50-watt all-tube guitar combo, the mid-range entry in Ashton's valve amplifier line. Like its larger sibling, it uses EL34 output tubes and provides a clean channel plus a gain channel, aiming for a British-influenced tone at a budget-friendly price. These combos were popular with Australian gigging players who wanted tube tone without boutique prices.
