Does anyone know about this 550 Watt Ashdown Micro Amp?

I don't think I've heard anything about it at all...

Ahh forget it. It looks like another one of Ashdowns failed micro heads. It's already discontinued...

Yup. First there was the Superfly 500, then the two Little Giant heads (350 and 1000), then the first-gen MiBass (220 and 550), then the latter was replaced by the MiBass 2.0, while the 220, also discontinued, should be eventually superseded by the PiBass 240. ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed] still empty; traces of it on the website here and here and here - looks like it's been in development limbo for a while.) EDIT: see post below.
Then they have the Rootmaster line, [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] and [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], already discussed here on TB-Amps (on zwei dedicated threads so far, 1 and 2), as well as an entry-level not-really-micro, the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].

Phew.

Thank you. I was looking at the miBass, but knew little about it. I'll continue my search to replace my Trace Elliott.

(...) PiBass 240. ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed] still empty; traces of it on the website here and here and here - looks like it's been in development limbo for a while.)

This just in (at least for me): product page now full, and limbo over: the PiBass (Wojtek Pilichowski sig) is in stores, in stock now.

I wonder if the signature thing is to blame for the scarcity of I/O in this one. There's enough real estate in the back for an effect loop, for Pi's sake...
