New Ashdown Geezer Butler Head

[Skybone]

Ooh, looks like Geezer's been working with Ashdown to create a new signature head for the man.

ABM-RPM-GZR Signature Series - Ashdown Engineering

Should be interesting to hear one of these in action.

Says not for sale

 

[Skybone]

Didn't see that bit... Ooops. Shame though.

Funny, given the Buy Now tag on the image.

They can't sell an amp like that. It is made to feed four different cabs...which is exactly the opposite of where the market is going to right now (lightweight amps and cabs). It looks awesome though. Two VUs...that's weird and sexy at the same time

They clearly state on the page that this amp is not for sale.

I know I know. But they have sold some signature amps (JJB-500, MK-500) like custom amps. Very few units, true, but they were for sale. I think that the rest of their signature amps were more "consumer-friendly" that people could buy more than this unit is. To my view it's for a very specific purpose (the musical necessities of one specific musician and the marketing behind)

 

[JimiLL]

It’s a pre amp should be able to use any amount of cabs

This is the new Ashdown Geezer head, which hasn't gone on sale yet. The one in the OP is the old Geezer pre-amp

 

[calypsocoral302]

The VU meters remind me of the demonic eyes in the dark in Amityville Horror...

Very DOOM indeed!

Out of curiosity, were there any real differences between the JJ Brunel head and the old Mark King head?

That's hot. Anyone see a selling price for it yet?

That's hot. Anyone see a selling price for it yet?

According to Ashdown's Facebook page, 1099 GBP which equals 1443.43 USD, not to say that's what the selling price will actually be when it is made available end of November.

And oh yeah... "666 watts RMS" LOL

Not for sale. It's just for Geezer.

 

[B-line]

Not for sale. It's just for Geezer.

Nope:
It will be for sale to anyone who wants to fork over the $$- November/December.

So much for me knowing what I was talking about just yesterday. That amp isn't my thing.

Not my thing at all (However, their CTM-100 is!).

I think Ashdown was ambivalent about this at first, indicating it was/wasn't for us masses.
Apparently, it will be shortly.

 

[callofcthulhu]

Seriously? Designed to power 8 cabs and it's 4 ohm minimum?

Useless.

 

[JimiLL]

Looks pretty cool to me. But then again I’m just stuck in the 80s with my rack tuner

 

[NecroticImbecil]

So it's got a DI, slave connections, 66 watts and marketing tricks on the normal ABM 600 head. If it's priced right the DI could be worth it. At least its more of an upgrade than the Entwistle signature preamp was, that one just had marketing tricks. I did like mine though.
