Ashdown JJ 500

Does anyone have experience of using one of these? I'm looking to get one but will have to order it, so can't get to try it first. I know its a JJ Burnel signature model, but I'm not after cloning his sound and I've read all the posts debating whether its just a Mark King sig with a black face plate (which I don't believe it is!) I just like the idea of an Ashdown particularly with the 12 band EQ and something a little different to a regular ABM 500.

So, any user experience would be much appreciated. I currently use a GK700RB-II.
 
The biggest difference between the two amps is the input sensitivity.

You can really drive the JJ Burnel and the MK500 is supper clean.

Here's a pic of my black face MK500.
