NAD: Ashdown Perfect Ten MiniRig

So I snagged this off craigslist the other day for 200 bones. I've got a great big boy rig, but I am still using the amp that came with the Fender Squier Affinity starter pack I purchased 7 years ago or so. The speaker has been buzzing a lot lately, so I finally decided I needed a new living room amp.

This is the Ashdown Perfect Ten MiniRig. 65 watt solid state head and two 1x10 cabinets. Three band EQ, input gain, output level, Deep switch, and some other little features.



Overall, this thing is pretty damn neat! Guy I bought it from said that the speakers were upgraded with the ones they use in the 8x10s. Surprisingly has some very good low end rumble to it. It won't leave my house, as it was bought purely for practicing at home, but it does what it does quite well. Good, deep clean bass, and I have always just loved how the Ashdowns look! Even better, the Ashdown blue speaker cones are almost a perfect match to my black on blue Ric 4003

i had one of those a few years ago. nice little practice amp. one thing to be aware of, if not already, the drivers in those cabs are 16 ohm. therefore, the amp runs at an 8 ohm combined load, as designed. something to be aware of if attaching other cabs of lesser impedance. if it were mine, i'd open one of the cabs and check the impedance on the speaks that were replaced.
