FS/FT: Ashdown ABM 900 EVO II (UK Made)

PeterChampagne · #1 07-02-2011, 11:28 AM

Putting up my Ashdown ABM 900 EVO II. It's UK made. I am the original owner. It has no issues cosmetically or mechanically and has always been reliable. These amps are killer and are incredibly versatile. They can get pretty rude if you hit the 12ax7 hard, but the valve section can be disengaged for a pretty modern tone. The ABM amps impart a nice color to your instruments and really become part of your sound. Included is a custom fit Studio Slips cover with a large pocket on the top. Here's some info from the Ashdown site:

About to throw this on ebay. Willing to give someone a great deal.

so is the speaker output a 4ohm minimum for the entire amp, or for each individual 575 watt power section? in other words, will it power a 4 ohm cab from each output, or only 8 ohm cabs? thanks.

Two separate power amps rated at 4ohm minimum each. You can push four 8 ohm cabs with this head. I shared a rig with The Human Condition, and this head pushes an ABM 210/ ABM115 stack nicely!!!

Yes. This is true. Each power amp can see a 4 ohm load.
