Does anyone know what the Ashdown amp is Nate Mendel has behind him in the Foo Fighters "Walk" video that isn't the ABM head? The one in question has a brighter blue face and is in a Kustom looking padded case. |

Shavo Odadjian from System of a Down has a custom ABM 900 called the Shavo 1000, so i'd expect Nate could have the same.

Custom could be possible.
What does the Shavo 1000 look like? |

He also uses the 810's that are the same style as the cabs for the Little Bastard instead of the standard ABM's.

In the Walk video we can see two amp an Ashdown ABM-900 and definitly not a klystron. 
What is the padded head?

It's a video mock up |
