    Any thoughts/experience with UK made Ashdown Cabinets?

    I’ve had pretty positive experiences with UK made Ashdown amp heads. But I did have a pair of Rootmaster 112 cabs from Ashdown that were nice and portable but couldn’t hang for nothing, they’d start farting out at small venue gigging volumes. I can’t really blame them though, they barely cost...

    Ampeg Portaflex 500 vs Ashdown ABM 300 (evo IV)

    So... two really great amps here, I know that much! I’ve heard demos of both on youtube but never heard either in person. From what I’ve heard in videos (and lets be honest, how much can you really tell from those videos anyway) they sound really good, but without a doubt I’d still have to try...

    Ashdown evo ii 900

    Does anyone one know much about the ashdown evo ii 900? I know it's 2 evo ii 500 amps together, pretty much 2 power amps, but would it be safe to only use one cab with it or would that damage the amp because of the other output having no load? Also if there's anything about the amp I should know...

    1x15 vs 2x10 what's the deal?

    I found this recently since I have always played 1x15 combos in the past and just got a sweet deal on a 2x10 and I'm having a tough time getting along with it, and didn't realize how much of a difference there could be between the two options! Mine is an Ashdown, but I'll assume that a 1x15...

    Ashdown ABM 500 - How useful is the sub-harmonics feature

    I gather the sub harmonics feature is really just an octave divider (1 octave lower). Is this feature very usable and would an EBS or Boss pedal do the same thing (or better). Aside from tone, curious as to how well it tracks.

    Ashdown ABM 500 - Is the Built in Compressor Any Good?

    These amps came both with and without. Is the compressor decent on these, or is an outboard compressor the only way to go? Never had an amp with a built in compressor that was any good until the Fender 800 Pro which is excellent. Curious about these.
