Details

Hey everyone,

I bought this new from Ashdown about a year and a half ago direct from the U.S. President of Operations for Ashdown. Goes for about $500 new. I figured it would be a good amp for smaller shows, but I haven't been playing out much at all.

The amp will get about 300 Watts with an 8 ohm extension. Without an extension, it pumps out somewhere around 180 Watts, maybe 200, in my experience.

The one thing I really like about this amp is that it's pretty small and ridiculously light at about 35 pounds. There is a drive feature along with EQ knobs, a headphone in, a DI out, and a speaker and tweeter mute for silent practice.You can also use the amp with Agile Partners AppTek kit for modeling, but I never was a big fan of the AppTek modeling.

For now, I'm only looking at local pickup or somewhere near (Queens, NY) due to not having packing supplies, but if anyone's interested in shipping, I'll see what I can do.

I'm open to offers. I'll see if I can get some sound samples. Let me know if you have any questions.

That's a neat little rig. With an ext cab I wonder if it would move enough air for a 5-pc rock band? What's in it for drivers?

What's the 5pc? Bass, drums, 2 guitars, vocalist? With the extension, it'll get the full 300, and it has the XLR out to feed a house board if there is one. With a 3 pc (guitar, drums, bass +vocals), I was able to be heard with just the amp by itself.

They're 2 10" Ashdown custom speakers. I'll get you some sound clips. I've been meaning to do that, but I'll make a point to get to it this weekend.

I get clang with my low action on my P-Bass.

These demos were all recorded with a P-Bass with a Dimarzio Model P pickup. Bass settings are the same for each--max volume, max tone.

These recordings were the amp's XLR Out into a Focusrite 2i2 Scarlett into Logic with no processing. EQ was set to flat except for the mid sweeps, where I was playing around with the mid knobs so you can hear the effects the knobs can have.

The drive is more tube emulation than outright distortion, but you can push it there. I prefer the drive knob around the 1/2 mark, maybe a little less. You get that great sweet spot, especially on the D string.

The vintage setting is definitely more mellow, though it can sometimes run the risk of getting a bit muddy if you're playing chords. You can add more treble to help combat it. Modern has a much clearer high-end and is better for that purpose.

It's a nice and quiet amp.

Demo for references in the Vintage and Modern Demos:
A Whole Child Ago - Biffy Clyro
Rock and Roll - Led Zeppelin
Ceremony - Joy Division/New Order
Give It Away - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Soul Wyvern - The Silverwings

Trying to get the link to show the playlist, but it looks like TB is defaulting it to the first track. If you erase the space in the link, it should take you there.
