Ashdown ABM 500, EQ - pre or post?

I have an Ashdown MAG 600, and the EQ is run pre input so I dont get full wattage. I have an ABM 810 cab and need some more head room. I am upgrading really soon to an ABM 500 that has the 575 watts but dont know if it is wired the same way. So what is the ABM 500 wired like?

OR is there a way to mod the MAG 600 to have the EQ run post input to get some more power?
 
My ABM 400 EQ is post-input gain. Nice powerful amp, you'll love yours. Experiment with different tubes to find your favorite, it effects the tone pretty noticeably.

Yeah, I don't know the signal-path order, but I do know that my ABM400 has *zero* problem pushing lots of drivers - The first amp that I've owned that appears to have the power conservatively rated (rather than the SWRs I had in the past).
